1. Phases of Corrective Exercise

2. Corrective Exercise
Corrective exercise is choosing the right exercise that will keep your body in balance. The exercises must be performed with proper technique and posture.
Corrective exercise helps maintain balance, relieve pain, increase performance, improve movement efficiency and reduces the risk of injury.

3. The Four Primary Phases of Corrective Exercise

4. Phase I: Inhibit
Focuses on relaxing any over-active muscles, possibly caused by repetitive movements.
Massage and a foam roller are used to inhibit these muscles.

5. Phase II: Lengthen
Focuses on lengthening and stretching over-active muscles.
Massage can also be used for this phase.

6. Phase III: Activate
Involves increasing the activity of the underactive tissues.
Require trainer-facilitated activities.

7. Phase IV: Integrate
This phase is applied once the right muscles have been properly activated.
The exercises focus on total body movements, with emphasis on stabilization, control, and correct posture.
