Core Tip	Lumbopelvic pain can alter optimal sequencing of muscle activation leading to inadequate synergies and disrupted biomechanics within the lumbopelvic region. Retraining to regain optimal sequencing through external and internal cues can help an individual return to their prior level of function and improve optimal movement patterns. Although this study was conducted in healthy young subjects, we conclude that the use of internal and/or external cues when retraining abdominal core muscles in individuals with lumbopelvic pain would be beneficial to increase core muscle activation.
