Risk of Twisting with the Low Back

Twisting with your back, especially with a load, can increase your risk of injury. Before you begin work, it is important to take a few minutes to warm your body up. Secondly, it's important to bend with your knees not your back when performing physical activities like lifting or digging. Lastly, pivot your feet or reposition your posture to keep your body in the best working position as possible.

Rotary Stability

The last movement on the Functional Movement Screen (FMS™) assesses trunk stability when the upper and lower body are moving. Many athletes, especially sprinters need a strong core when pushing off the blocks. Poor rotary stability can lead to decrease in athletic performance and an increase risk of injury.
