Something we have known for a while, at a gut level if nothing else, is that with abdominal support and the segmental stabilisation it provides, many movements can be made safer for our clients.
Other are just cottoning on,
“A recent study published in Manual Therapy examined whether adding lower abdominal hollowing exercises during Prone Hip Extension (PHE) exercises improves the relative timing of the activation of the gluteus maximus (GM) and the Biceps Femoris (BF) in the hamstring muscle group.”
Didn’t achieve a statistically significant result, but still, just adds to what we believe we are getting at in the Pilates context.
