No one should settle for poor performance, chronic tightness or pain. The benefits of an individualized Corrective Exercise Program are immeasurable. 

The First Step

A Functional Assessment: 

Developing a Corrective Exercise Program begins with a thorough physical assessment, a review of an individual’s health history and goals. The assessment includes:

• an overall postural analysis
• muscle lenght/tension measurements
• a flexibility evaluation, joint integrity testing
• spinal curve and spinal  movement evaluation 
• a primal movement pattern assessment 

The Second Step

The Program: 

The information gathered from the in-depth assessment comes together in a customized written program that addresses the body’s specific needs. 

Each program consists of carefully selected stretches, mobilizations and strength exercises based on qualitative and quantitative data found in the functional assessment. This program may be preformed with Linda DeFever at Vitality, Inc., or in your home or health club. 

The Third Step

Program Progression: 

The Corrective Exercise Program trains the nervous system. Our nervous system has an incredible ability to adapt. Because of this, after performing the first program for 4-6 weeks, a re-evaluation is done so that exercises may be advanced, so that an individual’s ultimate goals are obtained.
