Ep. 186 3 Core Cues You've Been Told That Are Actually Making Things Worse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever been told to suck your belly button into your spine, breathe into your belly, or just engage your core, this episode is for you. These cues are everywhere and while the intentions behind them are good, the way most people execute them is actually working against their core stability.
In this episode Dr. Arneka breaks down the three most common core cues she hears from patients who come in still confused, still disconnected, and still in pain despite doing all the right things. If you've been doing core work for years and still feel weak, unstable, or like something isn't connecting, you're not broken. You've just been given incomplete instructions.
You'll learn: Why sucking in shuts off the muscles you're trying to activate, why belly breathing leaves most people missing their full 360 degree ribcage, and why engage your core is too vague and leads to gripping and holding your breath instead of true stability.
