Healing Your Core Isn’t About Getting Stronger Abs
It’s About Something Nobody Talks About…
When most people think about core healing, they think about planks, sit-ups, a few sad pelvic tilts, and maybe flexing in the mirror afterward to see if anything looks different.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you: Healing your core has way less to do with doing more ab exercises and way more to do with how your body handles internal pressure.
Stay with me, because this changes everything.
Your Core Isn’t Just a Muscle. It’s a Pressure System.
Most of us grew up thinking the "core" was just six-pack muscles.
But in reality, your core is a pressure system. It is your diaphragm, deep core muscles, pelvic floor, and back muscles all working together to control how pressure moves inside your body.
Imagine your core like a can of soda.
When the pressure inside the can is balanced, everything stays strong and stable.
When the pressure blasts out in weird directions, you get leaks, bulges, peeing when you sneeze, low back pain, and doming in your abs. Fun, right?
You are managing pressure every time you breathe, lift, move, laugh, sneeze, or even stand up. It is happening whether you realize it or not.
Why Just Getting "Stronger" Isn’t the Answer
You could have the strongest abs on the planet and still struggle with symptoms if your pressure system is not working with you.
It is like trying to build a house on quicksand. You can put up walls, add a roof, even make it look good on the outside. But if the ground underneath is not stable, the whole thing shifts and falls apart the moment you add weight.
This is why true core healing is not about grinding out harder workouts.
It is about building a stable, pressure-managed foundation that your strength can actually sit on.
How Do You Actually Manage Pressure?
It is not about doing more. It is about moving smarter
Breathe differently.
When you inhale, your ribs, back, and belly should all expand a little. Not just your chest popping up like you are gasping for air. Think about filling up your whole torso evenly, like a balloon.Exhale on effort.
When you lift, push, pull, squat, or even stand up, breathe out.
Exhaling with effort helps control the pressure and keeps it from blasting into places it should not.Watch your habits.
Notice if you are clenching your abs all day, holding your breath without realizing it, or bearing down when you lift things.
Small shifts in how you move can make a massive difference.

Seeing it in action will help you finally connect the dots between breathing, pressure, and why symptoms show up.
It’s Not Just About Muscles.
If you are leaking, feeling weird pressure in your belly, or struggling with core control even after "doing all the exercises," it is probably not because you are weak.
It is because no one taught you how to manage pressure first.
The good news is you can absolutely learn it. It is fixable, and it is never too late to start.
