The lumbar spine, particularly the lumbopelvic junction, also known as the core,
is comprised of twenty-nine dynamic muscles. Each designed to stabilize, transmit force and work synergistically during daily and sport movements. Within these muscles, there are four that are particularly important to remember. They include the transverse abdominis, obliques, multifidus and quadratus liumborum. Research by Paul Hodges, PT discovered that when someone suffers a low back injury, the transverse abdominis becomes absent or delayed. Further research has shown those with chronic low back pain, the mulifidus is weaker than those without an injury.
