This is Part 25 of a Yoga Synergy Spinal Movements sequence that forms part of a series of videos and live courses taught by physiotherapist and Director of Yoga Synergy, Simon Borg-Olivier, throughout the world as well as part of an online courses at RMIT University ([ Ссылка ]) and Yoga Synergy ([ Ссылка ] and [ Ссылка ]). This video was one of a series filmed by David Samulenok at RMIT University.
This is a low resolution version of video, higher resolution versions are available in the online courses.
In this part, Simon Borg-Olivier explains that 'core stabilisation' (or the ability to firm the abdomen) should allow 'core mobilisation' (or freedom of movement). He shows how many people often tighten their abdomen using their muscles of forced abdominal exhalation in a way that inhibits their diaphragm from behaving naturally, causes excessive tension in their spine and trunk that can inhibit circulation and can actually prevent the relief of some back pain, and prevents the natural movement of spine and internal organs.
