Ensuring the rib cage is stacked on top of the pelvis is essential for optimal core function.
This alignment facilitates the efficient transfer of forces between the upper and lower body, promoting stability, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall efficiency.
When the rib cage is properly aligned over the pelvis, it allows the diaphragm and pelvic floor to work in coordination.
The diaphragm and pelvic floor form the top and bottom of the core muscles, working synergistically. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, while the pelvic floor relaxes. As you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, and the pelvic floor muscles contract. This coordinated movement helps stabilise the spine and maintain intra-abdominal pressure.

However, if the brain’s perception of the center is distorted, the body tends to align around what it deems the strongest and safest posture.
Achieving optimal stacking requires a comprehensive understanding of your centre of mass dynamics, its connection to foot pressures, and the impact of factors like past injuries and habits.
