Your Core Is Calling — And It’s Not About Abs
When most people hear the word “core,” they picture abs.
But your core is much more than what you see in the mirror. It includes a team of muscles through your abdomen, back and pelvic floor that work together to support you as you stand, lift, twist, exercise — and simply move through everyday life.
And sometimes, your body gives you signs that this support system could use a little more attention.
Low-back discomfort. Bladder leakage when you cough, laugh, sneeze or jump. Feeling weaker through your middle after pregnancy. Or simply feeling less strong and supported than you used to.
The good news? Strengthening your core doesn’t have to mean doing hundreds of crunches.
Your pelvic floor is part of your core
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis that helps support your bladder, bowel and other pelvic organs.
When those muscles aren’t functioning as well as they could, you may notice symptoms such as urinary leakage, decreased support or changes in how strong and stable you feel.
And pelvic floor concerns aren’t something you should feel embarrassed about.
They’re common — and there are options available to help support these important muscles.

The Pelvic Floor Chair: strengthen while you sit
Yes, you really do sit down for this one.
Our Pelvic Floor Chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions while you remain fully clothed.
The goal is to help activate and strengthen muscles that play an important role in bladder control and pelvic support.
It’s especially worth learning more about if you’ve been dealing with leakage, pelvic floor weakness, postpartum changes, or simply want to better understand your pelvic health.
And pelvic floor health isn’t only something to think about after having children. These muscles matter throughout life.
Body Sculpt: your core is about strength, too
Our EMS Body Sculpting treatment takes a different approach.
Electrical muscle stimulation activates targeted muscles through repeated contractions while you relax during the session.
Depending on your goals, treatments can target areas such as the abdomen, glutes, hips, thighs and lower back.
While many people first hear “Body Sculpt” and think about appearance, we also love talking about the strength side of it.
Building stronger muscles through your middle can be one piece of creating better support for the way you move and function every day.
Where does chiropractic fit in?
Your muscles and joints don’t work independently of one another.
Our chiropractic care focuses on mobility, movement and addressing areas of discomfort or restriction. Strengthening the muscles that support your body can complement a broader plan focused on helping you move and feel your best.
That’s why we don’t look at wellness as one treatment or one quick fix.
We look at the whole person and help you determine which combination of care makes the most sense for your body and your goals.
