Side Plank Exercise | Oblique Strength & Core Stability | Livonia Chiropractor

The Side Plank is a powerful exercise to strengthen your obliques, improve core stability, and support spinal health. This is a natural progression from the modified side plank on the knees, challenging your balance and control by lifting onto the feet.

In this video, Dr. Ryley Perryman from Life in Motion Chiropractic in Livonia, Michigan, demonstrates how to correctly perform the side plank from your toes and why it is so valuable for core strength and injury prevention.

How to Perform:
1. Lie on your side with your elbow directly under your shoulder and forearm flat on the floor.
2. Extend your legs so your ankles, hips, and shoulders are in a straight line.
3. Press your feet and elbow into the ground and lift your hips off the floor.
4. Keep your body in a straight line — avoid letting your head or hips sag.
5. Place your top hand on your hip to remind yourself to lift through the obliques.
6. Hold this position for 15–30 seconds, gradually increasing as you build strength.

Benefits of the Side Plank:
- Strengthens obliques and lateral core muscles
- Builds shoulder stability and scapular control
- Improves spinal stability and reduces injury risk
- Enhances athletic performance and balance
- Progression-friendly for rehab and fitness programs
