Toning the “Core” …

This usually refers to a combination of muscles that work together to support your torso: the pelvic floor, the breathing diaphragm, the abdominal wall and deep spinal muscles like the multifidus. While having these muscles in good working condition is important for healthy movement, they are not the whole story when working with the so-called core.

Most of us are familiar with the idea of muscle tone because it is visible on the outside of the body. Organs also have tone – the organ’s ability to maintain its own inner spring or elasticity. Organs maintain their tone through constant intrinsic movement, like the winding and unwinding of a coiled spring or the squeezing of a sponge. However, this process can be impeded by poor posture, shallow breathing, lack of movement, or stress.

If an organ loses its tone it will feel heavier and sag from its proper place in the body, reducing its ability to function well and putting stress on the tissues around it.

Whilst colon hydrotherapy promotes peristalsis, it also aids in the colon muscles regaining tone therefore assisting the return of regular bowel movements. Our objective should not be an empty colon, but rather a well functioning colon.

We can also help our organs maintain their intrinsic tone by moving our bodies well, including deep breathing, good posture, and mindful exercise.
