Why strengthening your middle traps helps core and pelvic floor issues

Middle Traps- Help Core and Pelvic Floor Issues
Why you should strengthen your middle traps to help with core and pelvic floor issues - but first- how to find these muscles so you don’t just work your paraspinals even more. ⁣
⁣
I love upper body work. I’ve found that upper body strength goes hand in hand with core and pelvic floor pressure issues as well as upper trap tightness, painful points under the scapula, neck tightness and headaches. The value of strong middle and lower traps is right up there with serratus strength. (Scroll down on my page for more information on the serratus.) ⁣
⁣
Over the years of working with people I’ve noticed a trend to compensate with other back muscles instead of actually strengthening the middle and lower traps. Someone will be incorporating lots of rows and other midback strengthening exercises in their workout, but they won’t be getting the results they should be from the work. This is frustrating! I hate wasting workout time, too. ⁣
⁣
Check out this video to help you use your middle and lower traps a bit more instead of letting those paraspinals compensate for the work. One of the most effective things you can do for your workouts is to make sure you’re using the muscles you should be working! It doesn’t do any good to have a great plan if it doesn’t hit the intended targets. ⁣

Such a good video / breakdown!

[@michaelaburgmueller1873]

Awesome, but now Im wondering why so many ppl cue an extended back when doing rows?

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

That's a good question, I don't know the answer either.

Is it normal to feel a great connection and gliding on one side but have difficulty connecting on the other? 🤔

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

People can definitely have issues connecting to one side more than the other!

I have many exercises for the mid and lower traps? How can you make sure that is what your working? I do exercises but not sure if those are the muscles being worked. Do you have any particular exercise in mind?

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

I have many exercises for mid and lower traps in my online programs since strengthening those are so important. You want to feel the exercise in those places. If it is harder for you to feel what muscle is working seeing a knowledgable personal trainer or physical therapist is never a bad idea to be sure you are using the correct muscles. That is not an option for a lot of people currently, unfortunately. You can see some physical therapists online and with our All Access Membership I and the other CES experts help people troubleshoot things like this in our secret FB group for members. Rows are a great exercise for working your mid back if done correctly.
