Thursday, 30 April, 2026
How's your posture? Can you turn at your hips without feeling any pain? Can you suck in your navel?Two years ago we were joined by ChristianaCare physical therapists Travis Ross and Brian Catania to discuss their nationally recognized Sling Activation Sequence for athletes. Since then, Travis and Brian have been refining their work to show how core strengthening is for everyone, from pro athletes to 77 year old grandmothers who just enjoy staying active.We discuss how pain leads in inhibition, why sitting and device posture and quietly shut down proper activities, and how the core can be reactivated with the right techniques. But this isn't just a theoretical discussion in broad generalities - we also offer specific ways to test your own core at home, as well as safe guidance on how to get your core back in shape. And in a separate video, we travel to Brian and Travis's practice in Newark to attempt some of the exercises ourselves, with tips on what to look for and how to take build on what's taught.Don't let bad posture control your life - sit up, tune in, and learn what you can do to get your core back on track.Brian Catania, MPT, SCS, ATC, is a physical therapist and site manager of ChristianaCare Rehabilitation Services at Glasgow who has attracted national attention for trailblazing new types of therapy.Travis Ross, PT, DPT, is an outpatient orthopedic and sports Physical Therapist at ChristianaCare in Newark, Delaware since 2006.
