Transverse Abdominis

The transverse abdominis is a deep abdominal muscle that wraps around your torso like a corset, stabilizing your spine and pelvis. It acts as a natural support system, helping to maintain good posture, protect internal organs, and assist in movements like twisting or bending. This muscle activates automatically during core exercises and when you brace your abdominal muscles. Strengthening the transverse abdominis can improve core stability, enhance athletic performance, and reduce the risk of back pain. It’s a key component of core health, working silently in the background to support overall movement and stability.
