What is Corrective Exercise?
Corrective Exercise is:
The term ‘corrective exercise’ refers to a series of specific exercises or stretches designed to improve a person’s faulty movement patterns. In life, either through our work, unbalanced exercise selection at our health clubs, sporting endeavors, or inactivity, our muscles do not function optimally which leads to imbalances in the musculoskeletal system.
Often the wrong muscles are recruited to do the work, leaving one side of the body functioning better than the other which can cause a series of physical problems such as back, neck and knee pain. These problems if left untreated can cause chronic conditions and often may only be corrected with surgery.
The physiological basis for the use of corrective exercises lies in the fact that while life exists there is change. The body is always in a state of organized flux. Every day cells die and every day new cells are born—all kinds of cells including bone cells but excluding brain and nerve cells.
Our expertise and experience in scientifically prescribed corrective exercise therapy for rehabilitation ensures that we are able to successfully bridge the gap between physiotherapy and personal training.
We currently operate a cross referral scheme between Holistic Health Concepts and some of the best sports-medicinally trained rehabilitation professionals in the Lower North Shore.
