The Benefits of Corrective Exercise Therapy
Pain Management
Progressing through the postural alignment process; the client can expect to feel changes. In most cases; the more imbalances someone has, the more pain the person will experience. Therefore, the more balance and alignment achieved, the better a person will typically feel.
Healing and Recovery
When the body is aligned, the system is able to respond to stressors such as pain and fatigue much more effectively. Following a workout or a tough pain cycle, the body will recover much faster when using Corrective Exercise Therapy.
Injury Prevention
When the body is properly aligned, it can better prepare for sudden movements. There is less imbalance within the skeletal structure, limiting stress on muscles, tendons, joints and cartilage. As an active adult or young athlete, more aggressive movements and changes in direction will be aided by alignment via Corrective Exercise Therapy.
Athletic Performance Optimization
Once the body has adjusted to the changes made and the muscles begin to fire in cooperation, athletic performance will greatly improve. Speed, agility, explosiveness, strength and stability will all improve.
Long Term Health
Postural Alignment via corrective exercise therapy is a preventative approach. Therefore, the injuries and long term damage that the structure may have taken on will be limited. Over time, this will help the body avoid long term stressors such as arthritis, tendonitis, tendon and cartilage wear and tear, as well as muscular damage, pain and tightness.
Mental Health Benefits
When the body is in harmony, the mind will follow. The more balanced and healthy the body feels, the more space the mind will have to function clearly without having to use all its energy thinking about pain or restriction.
