The First Technology to Target Deep Spinal Muscles
The LPG Spine Force utilizes the latest technology and incorporates it into functional positions to increase strength, power, posture and coordination of the entire spine and the entire body. This is a training tool used for training and rehabilitation of world class athletes. It utilizes this principle, “proximal stability produces distal mobility.” This means, in order for us to use our extremities effectively our “core” or center of gravity has to be strong allowing for an efficient use and transfer of our energy.
An example of this is seen in the highest level of golfers. They are able to generate an incredible amount of energy from the “core” of their body and efficiently coordinate and transfer the energy from their back swing through the point of contact and into their follow through, swing after swing, without injury, giving them the best success.
While on the Spine Force the athlete’s balance is challenged with a motorized rotating platform which also serves to loosen the pelvis and entire spinal column. As the platform is moving they are coordinating the muscle efforts of their arms by pushing and pulling on computerized handle bars which are reading and producing real time feedback of the forces generated. In order to do this effectively the athlete is forced to re-educate and strengthen the “core” of their body.
The core is made up of the deep muscles of our abdomen, pelvic floor, low back and most importantly the multifidus; which account for 180 deep, small, segmental spinal muscles on the vertebrae of the spinal column. Research shows in order to increase back strength and function the 180 segmental spinal muscles the multifidus must be targeted in a progressive resistive exercise program. This is what the Spine Force was designed to do! There is no single exercise or piece of equipment that is better able to improve strength, posture, power, and coordination of energy from the left and right side of the body than the LPG Spine Force. Golfers Beware!
