Conditions of the Abdomen

Abdominal:                                           
The three natural curves of your spine – at your neck, chest and lower back – are supported by the abdomen, back, buttocks and thigh muscles. These important muscle groups must be kept strong and flexible to support your body and maintain a healthy back.

Abdominal Strain: 
A mild injury to the abdominal muscles or tendons resulting from trauma, overuse or a sudden increase in use. The abdominals may be tender to the touch and / or hurt when coughing, sneezing or laughing.

Abdominal Weakness:
when muscles are weakened by strain, pregnancy, repeated surgery or inactivity, causing tenderness and pain.
