Overview
What Are Corrective Exercises?
Corrective exercises are targeted movements designed to improve how your body moves, stabilizes, and responds during daily activity, training, or sport.
Instead of using generic stretches or random strengthening drills, Dr. Eddie selects exercises based on your specific movement limitations, muscle imbalances, posture, coordination, and injury history. The goal is to help your body move with better alignment, strength, and efficiency.
Corrective exercise may include mobility work, stability training, activation drills, balance exercises, breathing mechanics, or movement retraining depending on what your body needs.

The approach
Techniques Used
Not every client needs the same corrective exercise plan. Dr. Eddie selects each movement based on your assessment, goals, and ability to perform the exercise well.
Mobility-Based Exercises
Targeted mobility drills help improve restricted areas so your body can access better positions during movement.
Muscle Activation Drills
Specific activation work may be used when certain muscles are underperforming or difficult to engage.
Stability & Control Training
Exercises may focus on improving joint control, balance, and coordination.
Movement Pattern Re-Training
Improved mechanics for squatting, hinging, reaching, lifting, walking, running, or sport-specific movement.
