The best way to activate the correct core stability muscles is to
actually see them working on a real-time
ultrasound scan. Yes, it's
just like seeing an unborn baby.
Unfortunately, since the TA muscle is located deep in your abdomen and beneath two outer muscles, it can be quite hard to feel whether it is switching on or not. And, it's almost impossible to detect whether the outer two muscles are working rather than the correct muscle.
This is where the ultrasound scanner comes into its own. The technique of Ultrasound Retraining, carried out with the guidance of a specially trained physiotherapist, enables you to quickly learn how to correctly contract your TA and MF.
The ultrasound scanner provides you and your physiotherapist with a video picture of your muscles working. This enables you to precisely match up what you think you feel with what is actually happening beneath your skin at that very moment.
This makes it much easier for you to correctly do your deep core stability exercises at home, which will quicken the solution to your pain.
