What does a Corrective Exercise Specialist do?

A Corrective Exercise Specialist is an expert in human movement. They accurately analyze a client's movement patterns and identify overactive and underactive muscle groups and compensations. Once the assessment process is over, they create programs that optimize clients' ability to move, perform exercises correctly, and reduce tissue tension caused by the load put on the body via training.

To Manage Injuries and Prevent Future Episodes, We Work To:

  • Resolve limiting factors in connective tissue first to allow normal function
  • Demonstrate foam rolling and active stretching to loosen tight/guarded muscles, increase flexibility, and reduce soft tissue restriction
  • Design an exercise program to strengthen any underperforming muscles
  • Gradually increase your functional exercise capacity to avoid new injury
  • Assist you in performing an appropriate warm-up and cool down before and after sports activity
  • Guide you on a healthy diet, which will nourish the muscles, joints, and connective tissues
