Corrective Exercise and Recovery Techniques

Corrective exercise is a fitness technique used to improve muscle imbalances, help with better mobility and enhance overall quality of life. A corrective exercise specialist uses knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics to help to create a personalized fitness program that addresses any movement imbalances which could affect a client’s daily life.

By analyzing a client’s functional movement and what could be impeding that movement, a corrective exercise program could assist with reducing stress on their body. In addition, the right program could help clients move effectively, recover more efficiently, and get them back to their daily routines.
