Why SpineStrength
Basic Facts: The need for spinal strengthening
- Good strength in the core muscles surrounding the spine is of vital importance to protect against injury, enhance athletic performance and ensure general health and wellbeing
- Under-developed spinal muscles can leave an individual susceptible to spinal injuries such as muscle sprains, ligament damage and slipped discs
- Poor spinal strength can also lead to underperformance in sports such as rugby, rowing, American Football, wrestling, skiing and martial arts, where strength of the spinal column is crucial for success
- In the worst cases of injury, hyperflexion of the cervical spine can cause fracture dislocation of the cervical vertebrae, resulting in paralysis and even death
Current Situation: Lack of specific equipment
- Despite being of crucial importance to player safety and wellbeing, spinal strengthening remains largely absent from many sport specific training programs and general fitness routines
- Players have been required to develop this strength through a wide variety of non-specific training methods or over lengthy periods in the uncontrolled environment of live game situations
- A large factor contributing to this situation is the lack of effective training equipment designed for this very reason, with the result that spinal strength training has not yet been properly implemented
