The general consensus is that athletes must have a strong and resilient core muscle system if they are to be playing and training at an optimal level while simultaneously being protected from injury.

While all core programs mention the importance of core strengthening, our surveys and research indicate that none of the programs mention the importance and necessity of core stretching. We believe that core strengthening must be balanced by core stretching in order to achieve optimal balance of all your athletic abilities.

Benefits of a strong and flexible core include:

• Increased arm and leg strength
• Increased overall power
• Increased speed
• Improved coordination
• Improved balance and agility
• Improved quickness
• Decreased injuries
