The “Modified Side Plank” is a beginner version of the side plank. This exercise is created for someone that may struggle to perform the side plank due to lack of core strength or increased pain while performing the side plank. The modified side plank is a great place to start building core stability without placing too much stress on the lower back or shoulder. This exercise demonstrated by our Naples FL chiropractor Scott Weiland of Gulf Coast Spine & Sport, LLC will allow you to build your core strength until you can progress to the more difficult side plank. Make sure to have one of our doctors instruct you to perform this exercise properly so that it is done efficiently to give you the maximum benefit!
