Corrective Exercise
Corrective exercise is used to help assess and determine the root cause of muscular or biomechanical imbalances and faulty movement patterns which can lead to issues with posture, balance, coordination and PAIN. Once the issue is identified, a corrective exercise specialist can then develop a plan that addresses the problem through exercise, foam rolling, stretching and other self care.
Corrective exercise is a technique that leverages an understanding of anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics to address and fix movement compensations and imbalances to improve the overall quality of movement during exercise and in everyday life. By addressing these functional movement imbalances, it will help reduce the stress placed on the body. By properly balancing these, corrective exercise helps the body to handle the load that everyday movements and activities put on it and helps reduce the risk of future injury.
