The relationship between the core muscles and the spine: The core muscles are very important to our human body, which can be responsible for the movement of the trunk, as well as the power output and transmission during activity. It is also important that the core muscles protect and support our spine, abdominal cavity and pelvic organs, and maintain the stability of the spine. The core muscles are also inextricably related to the pelvis, and once the pelvic floor muscles undergo a certain state, they will "involve" the legs, abdomen, back and waist. In other words, trigger points and restricted areas in the pelvis may also appear in the lower abdomen, buttocks, inner thighs, and other areas that are not part of the pelvic muscle group but are connected to the pelvis.
Incoordination of the core muscles, especially tension in the pelvic floor muscles (levator ani), may lead to functional changes such as frequent urination, constipation, diarrhea, and sexual dysfunction. Changes in posture, such as anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt, etc., and even severe pain, make people feel painful.
Since 2004, the International Society of Pain has designated the third Monday in October as World Analgesia Day, and this year's World Analgesia Day is celebrated on 16 October with the theme: Improving the Comprehensive Care of Pain. This episode will focus on how to deal with pain caused by uncoordinated core muscles.
