Dead Bug Exercise | Core Stability and Low Back Protection

The Dead Bug exercise is one of the most effective core training movements for building deep abdominal strength and protecting the spine. This controlled exercise teaches body awareness, breathing mechanics, and movement coordination. It is a staple in chiropractic care and physical therapy because it provides core stability without strain on the back. The Dead Bug is especially beneficial for patients recovering from low back pain or seeking to improve their posture. Read more about core training benefits at the American Council on Exercise.

In this video, Dr. Ryley Perryman of Life in Motion Chiropractic in Livonia, Michigan, demonstrates a step-by-step approach to performing the Dead Bug exercise. You will learn how to flatten your lower back against the ground, control your breathing, and progress from simple arm or leg movements to opposite arm-leg coordination. This exercise enhances stability and reinforces proper movement patterns, making it a safe choice for both athletes and rehabilitation patients.

Why Use this Exercise

Practicing this movement helps develop core control, supports good posture, and reduces the risk of injury. It pairs well with other DNS-based exercises, including the 3 Month Supine and 3 Month Prone positions, and is an excellent addition to any rehabilitation program.
