4 Benefits Of Corrective Exercises

Sep 30, 2019
Regardless of if you are struggling with acute pain, chronic pain, or if you are hoping to maintain an active and pain-free lifestyle, exercise should be an important and regular part of your daily life. However, all exercise is not created equal.

There are times that our exercise routines can actually be harmful to us. One reason for this may be an imbalance in the way our muscles are firing or working, and to continue exercising with this imbalance will hinder you to move forward on the path to health.  When your goal is to simply to move forward, this is where corrective exercise comes in. 

What Are Corrective Exercises?

Corrective exercise is essentially an exercise technique that is different from other regular exercise programs. Typically developing corrective exercises begins with a detailed analysis of the physical arrangement of the body. This analysis will help to determine any imbalances or deficits that could be affecting an individual's performance and quality of life.

After this analysis is concluded, a very specific corrective exercise and flexibility program are then developed to help correct the body's structure and bring it back to its normal state. Corrective exercises are constructed to make positive changes in the way a body moves and by focusing on the underlying cause of the pain. After all, the best way to eliminate pain is by eliminating the root cause.

Positive Aspects Of Corrective Exercises
  • Injury prevention.  Corrective exercises not only improve the outcome of the injury but will also minimize the possibility of recurrence.
  • Increase your self-reliance  Corrective exercises can ensure that you play an active role in your care and improve your ability to perform daily life activities.

When executed on a regular basis and especially combined with proper chiropractic care and acupuncture, corrective exercises can provide relief for numerous types of pain, such as sciatica, joint, and neck pain. Although the results may not always be permanent, relief can be immediate and reproduced by doing them routinely.
  • Long-term benefit.  Spinal manipulation and/or mobilization combined with exercise can provide a long-term benefit for pain relief and functional improvement.
