Your core can be described as the ‘engine room of the body’, the epicentre which is responsible for the body’s balance and stability. A strong core is essential to execute effectively all our everyday basic movement patterns e.g. standing, walking, lifting, bending, reaching, twisting etc. A weak core can lead to lower back pain, poor posture and ‘lazy abdominal muscles’.

There are many ways to improve core stability but Wendy believes that one of the most effective ways to strengthen the core muscles is by using a Swiss ball. The Swiss ball forces the body to use the key stabiliser muscles which control our balance and movement patterns. In just a few sessions, Wendy can show you a number of extremely effective, simple Swiss ball exercises that can be done in the comfort of your home. Exercises that will make you look and feel better physically.

Wendy can also advise you on the benefits of trading in your office chair for a Swiss ball to reduce the risk of lower back pain. You never know, you might set an office trend!
