what is corrective movement?
Corrective Movement is a technique based on the understanding of body functioning and biomechanics to correct movement compensations and imbalances.
Have you tried stepping back and looking at the full picture? Looking further away from the site of your symptom? How does your whole body’s alignment look? What about your movement patterns? How does the whole body move?
Our bodies have an optimal way of holding posture and moving. We are designed to function at our best when we have a balance of tension throughout our body. The components of our body that influence our movement and posture the most are our muscles and fascia (connective tissue). They provide the tension that holds everything in place.
When this tension is well balanced throughout the body, our structure is in its most robust, efficient, and functional state. Our bones sit where they are designed to sit, our muscles do the job they’re supposed to, and there is enough space to allow for a full range of motion at each joint. We can sit, stand, walk, squat, jump and throw as our body is designed to do.
However, because we also have an incredible ability to change and adapt to our environment and injuries, many bodies become “imbalanced” over time. Our posture changes, we move differently, various areas of the body start to compensate, and the most vulnerable part of our body will take the brunt of these changes, which can often lead to pain.
Conventional treatments often don’t work, because they don’t address the underlying issue that is causing your pain.
Corrective Movement is used to help assess the primary cause of imbalances and faulty movement patterns that lead to issues with posture, balance, and body coordination. Once the root cause of the pain is found, a Corrective Movement Specialist can then create an exercise routine that addresses the problem.
Our body learning to move correctly again is vital in building our most comfortable and robust body for life.
