Supacore CORETECH® In Action: Pelvic Stability and Injury Management for Hip, Groin, and Hamstring.
Supacore's patented sports technology, CORETECH®, has been providing increased recovery and pain relief from injuries such as Osteitis Pubis, Athletic Pubalgia, Gilmore's Groin, Pelvic Instability, and numerous other Hip, Groin, Pelvic, and Hamstring conditions since 2006.
Recently, under the guidance of one of Australia's leading physiotherapists and experts on pelvic instability and its role in sports injury - Dr. Carolyn Taylor Ph.D. - the Supacore CORETECH® shorts were put to the test to demonstrate just how significant the support provided was to athletes who experience pelvic instability.
Pelvic instability can exist due to prior injury, incorrect biomechanics, or pre-existing structural abnormalities, but it primarily occurs due to poor control of the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis (deep core muscles). According to Brukner and Khan (2011), pelvic instability is often associated with osteitis pubis and lower limb overuse injuries.
In the below video, we see Dr. Taylor using a single leg squat as an assessment test for pelvic stability. In the first part, we see the athlete, a 23-year-old male who participates in Australian Rules Football, perform single leg squats without the use of Supacore CORETECH®. The test is then repeated while the athlete wears Supacore CORETECH® shorts. The video finishes with a side by side comparison of the two assessments.
