If Dr. Mazal had to pick just one strengthening exercise to support your spine health, it’s the plank—and here’s why. 💪
Planks activate your entire core, including your abdominal muscles, lower back, and even your shoulders and glutes. This full-body stabilization move helps:
✔️ Improve posture
✔️ Protect your spine
✔️ Reduce injury risk
✔️ Build functional strength that supports everyday movement
From a chiropractor’s perspective, the stronger your core, the less pressure and strain your spine takes on day to day. That means fewer flare-ups, better alignment, and long-term spinal health. 🙌
Give your spine the support it deserves—start with just 20 seconds a day and build from there!
