Corrective Exercise
Corrective Exercise combines personalised movement, strength, and mobility work to help restore balance and improve the way your body functions. It complements osteopathic treatment by addressing the underlying biomechanical patterns that contribute to recurring pain, giving you long-term tools to support your own recovery and move with confidence.
Why corrective exercise?
While osteopathy is a highly effective hands-on treatment that can ease pain, restore mobility, and bring the body back into better balance, corrective exercise offers something equally important — your autonomy.
Corrective exercise helps you carry the benefits of treatment into your everyday life. Through targeted movement and personalised guidance, it strengthens the areas that need support, retrains unhelpful movement patterns, and helps your body learn to move well on its own. It empowers you with practical tools to understand your movement, support your recovery, and feel more confident and in control of your body — not just in the treatment room, but in the moments in between.
Many people experience recurring hip, pelvic, or lower back discomfort because of underlying biomechanical patterns that aren’t fully resolved with treatment alone. These patterns influence how the hips, pelvis, and spine load and move. Structural variations such as cam lesions or labral tears are surprisingly common, even in people without symptoms. For others, muscular imbalances, reduced hip extension, pelvic tilt, or altered movement patterns can contribute to ongoing pain, tightness, or weakness.
Corrective exercise helps address these issues by restoring alignment, stability, and natural movement throughout the hips, pelvis, and spine.
What Corrective Exercise Involves
• A thorough history to understand what’s driving your symptoms
• Practical movement assessments to identify imbalances, restrictions, or compensations
• A tailored exercise program to improve mobility, strength, and movement control
• Education to help you understand how your body moves and responds
Corrective exercise can be helpful for:
• Hip impingement
• Pelvic tilt and instability
• Deep hip or outer hip pain
• Hip flexor pain or tightness
• Glute medius strains
• Piriformis pain
• Reduced hip extension
• Lower back discomfort linked to pelvic mechanics
By improving how the pelvis and hips function, we can also influence spinal alignment, posture, and overall mobility. Muscles play a key role in guiding joint alignment, and changing how someone moves naturally shifts how muscles engage and support the body.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise
Corrective exercise is also highly beneficial during pregnancy and postpartum. Programs are tailored to your stage and goals, with safe modifications throughout.
Support is available for:
• Pelvic floor symptoms
• Diastasis recti
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Leaking
• Postural changes
• Returning to exercise safely
A structured and supportive approach helps you rebuild pelvic and core strength with confidence and clarity at every stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. all begins with an idea.
