Corrective exercises and stretches

Target the imbalances holding you back—with movement designed to restore balance, strength, and mobility.

What Are Corrective Exercises and Stretches?

Corrective exercises and stretches are purposeful movements prescribed to improve posture, movement quality, joint function, and muscular balance. They’re designed to fix dysfunctional patterns that can lead to pain or injury—and are often used alongside chiropractic care, rehab, or massage therapy.

What Can They Help With?

This approach is effective for:

Addressing muscular imbalances or asymmetries
Improving joint mobility and flexibility
Reducing pain from poor posture or overuse
Restoring movement after an injury
Preventing future injuries by fixing underlying dysfunctions

WHY IT MATTERS

Pain and injury rarely appear out of nowhere. Often, they’re the result of small movement faults or muscular imbalances that build up over time. You may not notice them at first—but eventually, they lead to strain, tightness, limited mobility, or recurring injuries.

Corrective exercises and targeted stretching give us a way to address the root of these issues—not just the symptoms.

At Function Performance, we don’t believe in generic “one-size-fits-all” rehab programs. Instead, we evaluate your movement and build a personalized corrective plan that works with your body, not against it.

For example, if your knee hurts, the problem may actually be in your hip, ankle, or core. By identifying weak or overactive muscles, we can create a movement sequence that retrains your body to move the right way—restoring stability, strength, and coordination where it’s needed most.

Corrective stretches help reduce tension and lengthen muscles that are overworking or compensating, while strengthening exercises bring attention to areas that are underperforming or inactive. It’s a powerful combination that promotes long-term, sustainable change.

These sessions are guided and instructional—we don’t just show you what to do; we make sure you’re doing it correctly. Our goal is to empower you with the tools, body awareness, and confidence to take control of your recovery and performance, both in the clinic and at home.

Corrective exercises and stretches are useful for everyone—from athletes and gym-goers to office workers and active parents. Whether you’re trying to fix pain that won’t go away, improve how you move in your sport, or prevent future issues, this method helps you create a stronger foundation.

It’s not about “more exercise”—it’s about better movement.

Common Questions About Corrective exercises and stretches

Are corrective exercises just physical therapy?

They’re similar, but more targeted to your movement mechanics. We often use them as part of a broader care plan, including chiropractic or massage.

How often should I do the exercises?

We’ll recommend a frequency that fits your lifestyle and treatment goals—often just 10–20 minutes a day can make a big difference.

Can I do these at home?

Yes! Most of your program will include home-friendly movements that require minimal or no equipment.

What if I have pain during the exercise?

We’ll never push you into pain. Our team will adjust the movements and intensity based on how your body responds.

Are these exercises only for people who are injured?

Not at all. They’re also perfect for preventing injury, improving performance, and correcting posture or imbalances before they become a problem.
