Activities tagged: core
Spinal stability: multifidii sitting
Basic exercise for recruitment of the multifidus muscle, a "core" muscle that controls the stability the spine. Multidifudus is a part of the erctor spinae muscles (back extensors) that sit along the spine. It exists alone at the lowest levels, L4-L5-S1Tags: spinal, stability, multifidii, multifidus, core, activation, sitting
Spinal stability: multifidii standing
