Left Versus Right: Making Sense of Muscle Imbalances Muscle imbalances between our left and right sides are common. Office workers, athletes, tradies, parents, students—we can all develop them. While small asymmetries are normal, larger differences can affect how you move and may cause discomfort over time. If you've noticed that one shoulder sits higher than the other, or you feel tighter on one side, you're experiencing muscle imbalance. Understanding what causes these imbalances and how they affect your body is the first step toward addressing them.

Understanding Deep Core Stability: Your Body's Natural Support System When you think of "core muscles," you might picture six-pack abs or the visible abdominal muscles you see on fitness models. But your core is much more than that. Your true core—the one that actually matters for your spinal health, movement quality, and long-term comfort—is a group of deep muscles that wrap around your torso like a natural "corset," working together to stabilize your spine and pelvis. Understanding how your deep core works and learning to activate it properly can transform your movement quality, reduce discomfort, and support your long-term spinal health. At Adam's Back, we've found that core stability is fundamental to helping patients move better and feel better.
