Foundation Muscle or the Core Abs

Where are my core abs and are they important?
The most important part of us is the foundation muscles and those are in the abs without them we don't sit, stand, or walk. The most unknown one is the pelvis floor muscle, this is the muscle that hangs like a hammock under us and supports all from the ascending and descending muscles. Often people think in order to have strong abs they have to look a certain way i.e. the "six pack" but strength inside the core is flexibility not stiffness.
The only way to achieve good ab strength even after surgery or trauma of any kind is to regain flexibility.
There are easy things that can be done sitting or standing without pain an just a few minutes a day. Any questions down hesitate to contact me.

So how, exactly, can I gain more flexibility in my core abs?

Can you gain flexibility even if you had over 5 surgeries in your abdominal area. Wouldn't scar tissue cause too many issues? Aren't your abs a lost cause?
