The relationship between shoulder and core has been shown by the activation of core musculature during upper extremity movements in previous studies.[10-13] Although the inclusion of core
stabilization exercises into rehabilitation program for shoulder injury has been advocated,[14,15] the evidence to show direct effect of core stabilization on shoulder muscle strength is still lacking.
Since the
stabilization exercises exerted a minimal load on the spinal column, it can be regarded as an important clinical approach to curing acute LBP in rehabilitation centers.

Goldby et al (2006) found that spinal
stabilization exercises were more effective than manual therapy in reducing pain intensity and disability and dysfunction.
Our study compared the
stabilization exercise program with the traditional treatment for CLBP, based on the Reagan- Michelle's protocol.
A host of theories and "
stabilization exercise" programs have been developed to train these muscles as a means of treating and/or preventing LBP.
The general
stabilization exercise group performed the same motions on a mat.
Admittedly, FR in the current study applied similar positions to the core
stabilization exercises but the exercises done by the CORE group were superior in improving the trunk muscle endurance.
Bettes starts her day in the PT room so she can get occasional advice from the PT team while she warms ups with hip and shoulder
