Having a strong core and healthy pelvic floor can benefit aging adults in several ways:
- Improved balance and stability: A strong core allows for better balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and related injuries that are common among aging adults. Strengthening the core muscles helps to maintain proper body alignment and stability during movement.
- Reduced lower back pain: Core muscles, including those in the lower back, play a crucial role in supporting the spine. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate lower back pain, which is a common problem among aging adults.
- Better posture: Weak core muscles can contribute to poor posture, resulting in strain on the spine, neck, and shoulders. Strengthening the core helps to improve posture, promoting a more upright and aligned body position.
- Enhanced mobility and flexibility: A strong core supports the joints and muscles involved in movement, allowing for improved mobility and flexibility. This is particularly important for aging adults who may experience reduced range of motion and stiffness.
- Prevention and management of urinary incontinence: A healthy pelvic floor is crucial for maintaining bladder control. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help prevent or manage urinary incontinence, which is a common issue among aging adults, especially women.
- Support during pregnancy and childbirth: A strong pelvic floor can provide support during pregnancy and childbirth, reducing the risk of complications such as pelvic organ prolapse.
- Increased overall functional fitness: Core strength and a healthy pelvic floor contribute to overall functional fitness. Aging adults who have a strong core and pelvic floor are better equipped to perform activities of daily living, such as bending, lifting, and carrying, with ease and reduced risk of injury.
It is important for adults to work on maintaining or improving their core strength and pelvic floor health and we can help with two amazing technologies: Emsculpt NEO and the Emsella Chair. These two non-invasive treatments, known as “Core to Floor”, have been proven effective in improving core strength and pelvic floor health.
