«According to Hodges et al. (2007), trunk muscle functions of spinal stabilization, continence and respiration are all interrelated. They conclude that when dysfunction occurs in one system, it can negatively impact the other two. Further, it is known that people with back pain brace with their superficial abdominal muscles and diaphragm and have poor core muscle activation (Hodges and Richardson, 1999; Radebold et al., 2001; O’Sullivan and Beales, 2007).»
