I’m Dr. Nathan Wrencher at Summit Orthopaedics. I believe stability matters for everyone—whether you’re a high-school athlete or an 85-year-old who loves walking the mall.

Video FAQs

What are “core stabilizers,” and why do they matter?

Core stabilizers include your deep abdominals, back muscles, hips/glutes, and pelvic muscles. They keep your spine and joints steady so your arms and legs can move efficiently, reducing the risk of falls, sprains, and overuse injuries.

I’m not an athlete—do I still need stability training?

Yes. Stability helps with daily life—walking, climbing stairs, lifting groceries, yardwork, and balance. Many people notice less back or knee discomfort and better posture with basic stability work.

What are simple ways to build stability at home?

Start with low-impact drills: sit-to-stands, marching bridges, bird-dog, side-lying clamshells, mini-squats to a chair, and single-leg balance near a counter. Focus on form and slow control. If pain limits you, our team can tailor a plan.

When should I see a specialist?

If pain lasts more than 1–2 weeks, you have repeated sprains or falls, weakness or numbness, or you’re returning from injury/surgery, schedule an evaluation. We’ll assess strength, mobility, and balance and map out a step-by-step program.
