Stability?
Stability is important in life on so many levels! One that’s often batted about in rehabilitation circles is the idea of ‘core stability’.
In my view of the world, there’s a definite hierarchy when it comes to ‘stability’. The term ‘core stability’ is not only fad, outdated and difficult to correctly define (as it means different things to different people) – it’s also not exactly what I think we should be aiming for when rehabilitating people with injured backs, or when seeking to enhance performance.
I like to use metaphors when I’m explaining these things to people – that way you get a mental image of what I’m trying to explain – which helps it sink in.
