First of all…..
• We are all asymmetrical.
• One’s corrective plan might not be relevant for someone else.
• If it addresses challenges, then it’s corrective!
What is corrective exercise?• Corrective exercise is a individualistic approach
where an assessment is used to determine specific weaknesses and/or limitations of the individual.
• This assessment drives the programming process, where a systematic and progressive approach is used to reduce the likelihood of injury and improve performance.
• The key is Specificity!
Why Corrective Exercise?
• Create balance
• Improve synergistic capabilities during movement
• Reduce likelihood of overuse injuries
What are asymmetries?• Patterns of muscular imbalance.
– Tight Muscles=Overused – Outstretched=Weak – Opposing Patterns
Ex: Tight Hip Flexors → Outstretched Hip Extensors
• Quite natural as we consider the construction of our bodies. (Anatomy/ Respiration)
• Developed via repetitive actions or daily living– International Chest Mondays– Long days at work (sitting)
Compensatory Actions• The outcome of muscular imbalance (asymmetries)
• Muscle imbalance →movement dysfunction (Compensation).
• Muscles prone to tightness generally have a “lowered irritability threshold” and are readily activated with any movement, thus creating abnormal movement patterns.
• Effect on recruitment patterns during muscular actions– Dominant muscle groups during synergistic capable movements.
• Ex: Quad Dominance → Glute & Hamstring Inhibition (Squatting)
• Resulting in overuse injuries & poor movement.
The General Approach (Tissue Level)• We now know that our bodies are asymmetrical to a
degree but how do usually approach this challenge? – Unilateral Training, – SMR (Foam Rolling), – Mobility Exercises.
• The issue with these techniques are that they only focus at the tissue level with no neural considerations.
• We must train the brain! (Recruitment)
The Common Perpetrator
Upper/Lower Cross Syndromes(Janda’s Approach)
•Resulting in:– Pelvic (Hip) Tilt– Scapular (Shoulder Blade) Instability– Shoulder Impingement– Core Instability
Upper/Lower Cross
• Characterized by alternating sides of weakness (inhibition) and overuse (facilitation) in the upper body and lower body.

Creating a Corrective Exercise Plan:
• Assess

• Implement

• The cornerstone of a quality service/program.
• Define specific weaknesses/limitations and using this information in program design considerations.
