My Abdomen
Understanding Abdominal Pain (Musculoskeletal)
The abdomen is central to movement, posture, and stability. Abdominal muscles provide core strength, protect internal organs, and coordinate with your back and hips. Musculoskeletal abdominal pain is often mistaken for internal organ problems, but it commonly arises from muscle strain, sports injuries, or poor posture.
Common Abdominal Conditions We Treat
Muscle Strains – Often occur during sudden twisting or heavy lifting.
Sports Hernia (Athletic Pubalgia) – Weakness or strain in the abdominal wall causing chronic groin/abdominal pain.
Rectus Abdominis Strain (“Six-Pack Muscle”) – Pain along the front of the abdomen, aggravated by sit-ups or coughing.
Postural Imbalances – Poor sitting/standing posture can overload abdominal and back muscles.
Myofascial Pain – Tight bands in abdominal muscles causing referred pain.
