Core Bracing

“Just squeeze your abs!”

‘Yeah yeah, I know how to brace.’

…face turns red, they pass out.

Alright, let’s talk Bracing. As Strength-Minded Physios, and lifters of 500+ pounds for 10+ years in the running each, we love bracing. But maybe not for the reasons you might think. We think it’s an amazing way to make our body ’stiff’ so we can manage loads and lift heavy things better. But, when it comes to ‘preventing injury’ or ‘correcting alignment,’ we’re not sold on it. Bracing can be protective, but it is not preventive. There’s a difference!
