According to Wikipedia, this method seek to develop controlled movement from a strong core and it does this using a range of apparatuses to guide and train the body.
Strong core muscle, is the basis for a strong back, especially the low back. Most of the low back pain will be relief from core exercise, and better posture will be notice.
