Core Rehab

Local Stabilization

It’s more important to focus on muscle activation when working out, rather than just building muscle strength. You need proximal stability to generate maximal strength. And when it comes down to it, your unconscious reaction and the speed of your contraction are more important than raw power.

Global Stabilization (Neuromuscular Chains): The “muscle sling” – the loops and chains of muscle that connect your core to your extremities – affect the quality of your movement as a whole. SMT will improve your back strength and posture compared to just trunk strengthening.

Core Rehabilitation and Balance Training

⚖️ Balance

The instability of the exercise ball during floor exercises can actually be used to your advantage. The ball was designed to add an element of difficulty to the exercise that would not be found in a traditional floor exercise. By working with the ball, you can help improve your balance and coordination.

🛡️ Core Stability

The exercise ball is effective in rehabilitation because it helps to strengthen and develop the core body muscles. This is important because the muscles of the lower back and abdomen serve as a solid foundation for posture and everyday activities.

✨ Benefits for Impairments:

  • Impaired Posture
  • Impaired Joint Mobility
  • Impaired ROM Muscle Length
  • Impaired Sensory/Reflex Integrity
  • Impaired Motor Function: Increase muscle activation, Improve firing patterns
  • Impaired Balance/Gait
  • Impaired Muscular Performance
  • Impaired Function & Aerobic Capacity

📈 Clinical Outcomes

Increased muscular strength, speed & endurance, improved firing patterns, and improved postural stability.

🎯 Exercise Ball Advantages

Offers a variety of postures and exercises, increases muscular activation, and activates muscles reflexively.

FAQ & Resistance Insights

💡 Elastic vs Isotonic Resistance

There are two primary types of resistance training: Elastic & Isotonic. Recent studies prove that elastic resistance training is just as successful as isotonic weight machines when it comes to increasing strength and muscle mass.

⚠️ Latex vs. Latex-Free Bands

Latex allergies can range from sneezing to anaphylaxis. At KALP HEALTH CARE, we prioritize your safety by screening for allergies and offering high-quality latex-free resistance bands and tubing.
