EARLY BIRD OFFER: £28 if booked before 30/09/08, or £35 thereafter.Transversus Abdominis (TrA) is probably the most discussed and most misunderstood muscle in the therapeutic rehab and fitness industry today. Training this magic muscle of the new millennium can apparently do everything. It now seems that physiotherapists, rehab professionals, gym instructors and even music teachers are advising their clients about this muscle. There is hardly any activity or exercise where some form of TrA activation has not been incorporated.There is very strong evidence of specific deficiencies in the recruitment of TrA (and other local stabiliser muscles) associated with pain, and especially with chronicity and recurrence of musculo-skeletal pain. However, merely activating or strengthening this muscle does not correct the real changes associated with pain. Understanding and correcting the pain related changes in TrA is a little more challenging. This presentation will review some of the research evidence behind TrA and examine current trends in TrA training. It will challenge some of the myths and misconceptions that currently exist and make some suggestions for more appropriate application of TrA training based on the current research evidence. This presentation will attempt to answer some very relevant questions, please see the website for these.Who is it aimed at?All levels of Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Personal Trainers, Pilates Instructors, Chiropractors and Sports Therapists / Sports Rehabilitators
