Corrective Exercise Therapy
Corrective exercise is a systematic approach that identifies and addresses faulty movement patterns as well as muscle imbalances that cause pain and limit performance. Unlike generic workout programs, corrective exercise therapy targets the specific weaknesses and restrictions unique to your body. Whether you're dealing with recurring injuries, chronic pain, or plateaued performance, corrective exercise reprograms how you move and addresses the root causes. This personalized approach transforms dysfunctional patterns into optimal movement, creating lasting results that traditional strengthening alone cannot achieve.
How Does Corrective Exercise Work?
Corrective exercise therapy follows a progressive framework designed by our team of doctorate-trained specialists:
Assessment identifies specific movement dysfunctions, muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, and stability deficits through comprehensive testing.
Inhibition uses targeted techniques to reduce overactive muscles that perpetuate poor movement patterns and prevent proper activation.
Lengthening restores mobility to restricted tissues through strategic stretching.
Activation awakens muscles that have stopped firing correctly due to compensation patterns or disuse.
Integration combines these improvements into functional movement patterns to improve daily activities and athletic pursuits.
The Benefits of Corrective Exercise
Our systematic progression ensures changes are sustainable and translate to real-world performance and lasting improvements.
