The Myth of Core Stability — Rethinking Movement, Function and Rehabilitation


with Dr. Eyal Lederman


In the last two decades, core stability training has dominated exercise and rehabilitation practices. However, despite its popularity, it has failed to deliver the benefits that were originally attributed to it.


In this provocative and evidence-informed webinar, Dr. Eyal Lederman—osteopath, researcher, and author—challenges the clinical assumptions behind "core stability training" as a cure-all for low back pain, injury prevention, and motor control. He will discuss the conceptual flaws within the core stability paradigm, and why it was destined to fall short as both a therapeutic tool and a method to enhance performance.


During the session, participants will explore a science-based alternative to movement rehabilitation that is rooted in function, adaptability, and real-world evidence. The webinar includes a critical appraisal of the research, followed by interactive discussion and clinical reflection.


What You’ll Learn

  • The origins and popularisation of the core stability concept
  • Why core stability training may not reduce pain or injury risk
  • The evidence behind motor control exercises and muscle activation patterns
  • The limitations of “bracing” and “drawing-in” techniques
  • How the body naturally regulates trunk control through functional movement
  • Alternative strategies for rehabilitation and performance enhancement
  • Clinical implications for treating low back pain, athletes, and general populations


Who Should Attend?

  • Physiotherapists (general, musculoskeletal, sport, manual therapy)
  • Exercise professionals and rehabilitation specialists
  • Clinicians working with patients with back pain, persistent pain, or movement dysfunction
  • Anyone seeking a science-based, practical rethink of traditional core stability approaches
