"Take exercise; for whilst inaction, weakens the body, work strengthens it; the former brings on premature old age, the latter prolongs youth."- Aulus Cornelius Celsus
Corrective Exercise Programming
Increase Mobility with Custom Corrective Exercises
Our Custom Corrective Exercises Improve Strength, Range of Motion, a Variety of Ailments, and Alleviate Tension. At Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, exercise is an intervention we prescribe for every client. Even if a client is in pain or finds it extremely difficult to move, they can perform some form of movement. Most of our clients tell us how much better they feel physically and mentally after completing the individualized corrective exercise regimen we’ve prescribed. We hope the following information will help our current and future clients better understand the importance of our custom corrective exercises and the benefits of following one of our plans. What Are Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are movements, stretches, or postures meant to restore graceful, pain-free movement for our clients. While plans are always individualized, these programs typically include exercises from the following three categories: Strength and endurance-building exercises such as weightlifting or walking Flexibility exercises including prescribed stationary and moving stretches Balance, coordination and mobility exercises to move the body efficiently and gracefully as a unified whole The exercises in these categories are all critical to maximizing fitness and reducing symptoms. The goal we have for each of our clients is a strong, flexible body that moves with good balance and exceptional coordination. Injury Rehab and Customized Corrective Exercises
At Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, we know about balancing work, family, and other demands. We want any intervention we prescribe to make the best use of our client's time and effort. Therefore, we carefully select exercises to meet our clients needs and fit their busy lifestyles. Benefits of Corrective Exercise
Movement has many mental, physical, and social health benefits. Some of the most critical include:
Reduces the risk for falls, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, anxiety, depression, and many other health conditions Corrective Exercise combined with clinical physiology optimizes each of these benefits by targeting skeletal muscle reeducation and neurological health. When the brain and body are in excellent condition, they can work together to more efficiently and effectively bring about positive health changes.

How We Create a Custom Exercise Plan
When clients first come to Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, they are amazed at some of the questions we ask. Asking about friends isn’t just about drumming up more business for our wellness fitness center. It’s about gaining insight into our clients’ social connections and support systems. In the case of corrective exercise, a robust social network can help our clients stick to their program and feel the difference movement can make in their lives. We believe movement is medicine. At Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, every consultation begins with a detailed interview, but it doesn’t end there. We conduct a thorough movement assessment. We need to uncover any medical conditions that may be limiting our client's ability to move and design a custom corrective exercise plan that helps them minimize the risk of injury as they get stronger. Another essential component of our initial evaluation is the functional movement tests we conduct. When clients visit Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, they don’t just sit and talk. They must walk, reach, and perform a variety of other movements. As they move, we evaluate functional abilities such as their range of motion, evenness of movement, and coordination. Functional movement tests give us insight into how our patients perform basic movements that are common in everyday tasks. As a result, we’re able to get a good idea of their daily performance. We can also design a program that gradually increases their functional fitness so daily tasks are more manageable. They are also able to reap the many benefits of exercise as quickly and completely as possible. What a Custom Corrective Exercise Plan Includes
Our exercise plans are designed to help improve functional abilities. Many of our relatively young clients often wonder what that means for them since they have no problem with carrying groceries from their car or performing household maintenance tasks. We explain that we want more for our clients than the minimum. No matter what level of functional fitness one has, one can constantly improve. Our clients who have higher levels of fitness receive exercises and goals that challenge them. clients with health issues that interfere with movement receive equally challenging goals. Still, they are working on different activities with modifications to guard against whatever injuries they may be more likely to sustain. After conducting a functional fitness test, we analyze the results for patterns. Once we determine a client’s strengths and weaknesses, we begin designing a custom corrective exercise plan for them by matching areas that need improvement with exercises we know get results. Before offering an exercise or movement to our patients, we research it and ensure it can safely deliver benefits. One factor that we always take into account is client safety. At Asylum PT: Fitness & Injury Rehab, our first mission is to do no harm, and that extends to any movement programs we prescribe. No matter what their level of fitness, we never assume that a client can go without guidance in this area or that we don’t need to design their fitness program with safety in mind. We use evidence-based practices within our programming. Developing a list of activities and movements to avoid is as important as knowing what to include. For example, we see many clients who have rheumatoid arthritis. This is an autoimmune condition that has periodic flares of symptoms in which some movements can become extremely painful. Our clients living with rheumatoid arthritis typically have two exercise programs. One is for non-flare days and extends their fitness to its optimal intensity. The other is for flare days and focuses on gentle, nourishing movement that supports the rebalancing of their immune system. After we’ve drawn up a list of exclusions, we focus on creating a list of exercises to provide a balanced program of strength, flexibility, and coordination training. Our coaching skill is indispensable since we use our intimate knowledge of the musculoskeletal and neurological system to create movements that maximize joint mobility, muscle conditioning, nerve, and brain health. Bringing the body’s communication system to optimal performance creates stability over everything that happens with the body. Of course, exercise isn’t any good if clients don’t perform it consistently. Since they’re the ones who need to do the exercises every day, we covet client input. We ask clients if they want to do the activities we’re about to prescribe, and we love it when they tell us they refuse to do a particular exercise. There are many variations for most of the movements we prescribe, and we enjoy accommodating our client's preferences. One issue many of our clients have is time management due to busy lifestyles. Our clients have busy family, school, and work schedules. Some of them can’t find thirty or even fifteen consecutive minutes to complete a custom exercise plan each day. This is not a problem. We’re happy to schedule exercise in ten or even five-minute bursts so our clients can add functional fitness to their daily lives.
