Spinal Stabilization ADVERTISEMENT 363 viewsApril 23, 2012 0 Joanne0 April 23, 2012 0 Comments In your opinion, which is better for spinal stabilization, the drawing in manuever or bracing? 4 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 Sara0 Posted 0 Comments Bracing is my preference. I like the isometrics, plus it can be used all over the body to increase the stability in any plane of motion. 0 Jocelyn0 Posted 0 Comments I’d also go with bracing. I find it easier to coach to my clients and easier for them to maintain with all exercises in various planes. I also encourage them to brace as they go about daily living. 0 Karin-2 Posted 0 Comments I do not talk about it in either one of those terms. I teach people core engagement and usually use the words “tighten the corset”. 0 Andrew0 Posted 0 Comments I think the bracing term is less confusing and will encourage clients to continue breathing naturally.
