The Secret Muscle Behind Back Pain

Did you know your stubborn back pain might be coming from a muscle you’ve probably never heard of? It’s called the transverse abdominis (TVA)—your body’s own built-in back brace. Most core workouts totally miss it, which is why you can have killer abs and still be hurting. The TVA is all about stability, not six-packs. Learning to activate it (think subtle, not sweaty) could be the missing link to finally ditching that nagging pain. Time to rethink those crunches! #BackPain #CoreStrength #TransverseAbdominis #HealthTips #Wellness #Health
