Weakness of Transversus Abdominis[edit | edit source]
Typical signs of a weak transversus abdominis are toned abdominals above the navel but a bulge below it. The client may experience: an inability to hold in the stomach after a large meal or when gassy; low back fatigue after prolonged standing or walking[7].
Physiotherapy Exercises[edit | edit source]
Drawing in technique is the most effective technique to activate and strengthen TrA[8].
The side plank (side bridge) and regular plank are arguably the best exercises for activating the TVA indirectly.[7] The 2 minute video below shows how to exercise TrA
