Spinal Stabilization : The New Science of Back Pain (Click Here for more info):
For readers interested in using the popular ‘SwissBall’ as part of their fitness or sport conditioning programs, Spinal Stabilization includes a chapter on stability training for athletes. Regardless of your sport or whether you consider yourself a recreational or a competitive athlete, increased trunk stability will lead to improved sport performance. Runners, swimmers and other endurance athletes will notice improvements in their aerobic efficiency while football, baseball, hockey and other power-sport athletes will be able to generate more power in their legs, shoulders and arms as a result of improved energy transfer through the trunk. Athletes who require a high degree of balance skill (gymnasts, figure skaters, rowers) will benefit dramatically from stability ball training as they develop stability-based strength and improved body-position sense. Many of the more advanced exercises demonstrated in the book will challenge even elite level athletes!
Whether you are a person recovering from spinal surgery, a person with chronic ‘non-specific low back pain’ or an athlete looking for improved sport performance, this unique book will help you achieve your goals!
