Simply put, corrective exercise attempts to correct dysfunctional postures and movement patterns of the body by first identifying the cause and then prescribing exercise strategies to improve muscle imbalances in order to restore proper movement function. Pain may come from prolonged sitting positions, e.g. desk, car, couch. Or, cyclic injury patterns may occur because of faulty (compensatory) movement repeated over a long period of time. If you suffer from long term (chronic) pain, corrective exercise may be the ticket you're looking for. And, it's healthier than prescription drug therapy.
