The force passes through you. There are no energy leaks in the transmission which will create friction, sheari

in the presence of back pain, the rectus abdominis and erectors increase co-contraction to create more stiffness. This braces the back and protects the painful area, but it comes with a price. Compression is increased, variation in movement is reduced, and there is less ability to make precise intersegmental movements. Thus, co-contraction of the g
