The duration of the activation period of local stabilizers will vary for the patients. People differ in their abilities. Some will master activation techniques earlier, others later, however, it is recommended to perform at least four weeks of exercise to activate the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles. Only the correct execution of the drawing-in maneuver can allow us to safely perform all exercises to stabilize the core in the following periods, which in turn can lead us to reduce low back pain. Also very important is the development of the pelvic floor muscles, to which most people  pay too little attention.
