Deep Core Retraining (Not Crunches)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start with the foundational muscles:<br>your transverse abdominis, diaphragm, pelvic floor, and deep back stabilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We rebuild your ability to <strong>generate tension in the linea alba<\/strong>, not just \u201ctighten your abs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Breathwork + Rib Mechanics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your ribs don\u2019t move well, your diaphragm won\u2019t move well.<br>If your diaphragm isn\u2019t working, your core can\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We retrain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>360\u00b0 breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rib expansion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pressure control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>diaphragmatic activation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is usually the game-changer for most patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Pelvic Floor Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A functioning core and a functioning pelvic floor are inseparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I need to teach the pelvic floor to <strong>relax<\/strong> before we can strengthen the core.<br>Sometimes it needs improved coordination.<br>Sometimes it needs stabilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always treat both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Lymphatic and Abdominal Mobility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your abdomen feels \u201ctight,\u201d \u201cstuck,\u201d or \u201cinflamed,\u201d the fascial layers and lymphatic system may need support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often incorporate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>abdominal lymphatic drainage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fascial gliding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>scar mobility (C-sections, laparoscopies, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>visceral mobilization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reducing inflammatory load<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When tissues move better, the core responds better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.
