  • The multifidus (or multifidi plural) may account for up to 2/3 of the muscular support of the spine. They are deep muscles that run the length of both the right and left sides of the spine and contribute to good postural tone. Studies have shown that they are often inhibited (smaller and weaker) on the side of the spine where there is a back injury and with scioliosis. There is a tendency to want to target the multifidus to improve spinal stability and decrease pain, but as postural muscles, they are not designed to function in isolation. The most beneficial and functional way to activate them is along with the other four deep core muscles. Additionally, when the multifidus is inhibited, it is not a because of a lack of strength; the problem is a communication issue between the muscles and the brain. This somatic yoga practice will help you to understand , find and "wake up" all four of the deep core muscles including the diaphragm, transversus abdominis, pelvic floor and multifidus.
    Want to skip the discussion on four deep core?
    Movement starts at 7 minutes. You can assess and activate the diaphragm, TVA's, and pelvic floor.
    Just want Multifidus assessment and activation? Go to the 32 minute mark

    I love this other take on the deep four and the integration of them all. Brilliant.

    Another amazing video! So clearly explained. A great progression through the four core muscles. Another one to add to my regular videos. I can already feel it has helped my lower back. Thank you so much 😊

    If you want to know where your core stability comes from, try this class! I think I forgot and am still feeling it 3 days later ;-0 Already in the know on the four deep core? Skip the discussion and go to the 7 minute mark where the movement starts. You can assess and activate the diaphragm, TVA's, and pelvic floor. And if you just want Multifidus assessment and activation, go to the 32 minute mark.

    Hi Megan, this is very interesting and it links beautifully with the Pilates work I do with my students (besides yoga). Thank you for sharing your beautiful somatic approach… so gentle, and yet deep with awareness, and soothingly effective. Love it!

    • @MeganMacCarthy
      @MeganMacCarthy  Před 2 lety

      Thanks Susanne, good to know it flows well with Pilates. Yes to gentle, but also somewhat sneaky in its depth. 🤗😘

    Thank you🙏💕 I love working the 4 sides of the core. After having back surgery I have realized the importance of having strong deep inner core muscles💜🥰 I really loved the March Madness and Spiral series, is there any possibility of getting a monthly calendar of practices, on Patreon maybe? Sometimes I'm not sure the order of videos I should choose for the week.
    Thank you again. Gratitude and Love to you💜

      Hi Lea, thanks for your feedback and inquiry. Where I am her ally very organized and with such practices as the livestream March Madness, followed a schedule, my weekly Saturday releases come more from a place of where I am that week. I can only hope they resonate with you and you are finding what you need at the right time. If you ever need suggestions, or have requests, please let me know! I do plan to begin to offer zoom classes again after my move to Ireland the end of April. Peace to you, Megan
