The plank is one of the most effective core exercises, but many people struggle with proper form. Performing a plank incorrectly can lead to unnecessary strain on your lower back and reduce its effectiveness. To maintain proper form, ensure your body is aligned from head to heels. Your elbows should be directly under your shoulders, and your legs should be fully extended, not sagging at the hips.

When done correctly, the plank strengthens the abdominal muscles, glutes, and shoulders while engaging your entire core. Focus on keeping your stomach pulled in and your glutes squeezed to create maximum tension and benefit. This will help increase endurance and improve core strength, making the exercise more efficient.

As with any exercise, consistency is key. Start with short holds and gradually increase your time as you build strength. Proper form is essential to avoid injury and achieve the best results from this fundamental bodyweight exercise. With practice, you'll notice improvements in posture, balance, and overall core strength. 💪🏋️‍♀️

Muscle Maintenance for soft tissue health.

Welcome to Muscle Maintenance and thank you for considering me with regard to your musculoskeletal health.

From personal experience I know what it is to have chronic pain and restricted movement, and how it affects every aspect of daily life. Thanks to a lower back injury which was successfully treated using sports massage techniques I became fascinated by the process used and went on to explore the wonderful world of Massage and Sports Massage.

In 2015 I gained an ITEC Diploma in Massage which established a solid foundation in knowledge and understanding of human anatomy and physiology as well as thorough client care and effective massage techniques that bring huge benefits to health and well being.

In 2017 I went on the gain VTCT Level 4 certificate in Sports Massage which opened up another realm of the musculoskeletal system. Here I learned how to carry out a comprehensive assessment of clients conditions as well as a range of very effective sports massage techniques to help maintain soft tissue health or to assist in the healing of soft tissue injuries.
