I was inspired to become a Corrective Exercise Specialist after witnessing the transformative impact of corrective exercise on a family member recovering from an injury. I realized the importance of addressing movement dysfunctions and helping individuals regain strength, mobility, and confidence. This career allows me to combine my passion for fitness with my desire to help others achieve long-term health and wellness.

I use a combination of movement assessments, such as the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and overhead squats, to evaluate a client's mobility, stability, and movement quality. I also observe their posture and gait during daily activities. This helps me identify imbalances, compensations, and potential injury risks, which I then address through tailored corrective exercise programs.

I worked with a client who had chronic lower back pain due to poor posture and weak glutes. I designed a program focusing on core stabilization, hip mobility, and glute activation exercises. Over three months, the client reported significant pain reduction and improved movement efficiency. This success reinforced my belief in the power of corrective exercise to address root causes of pain.

I regularly attend workshops, webinars, and conferences hosted by organizations like NASM and ACE. I also subscribe to industry journals and follow thought leaders in corrective exercise and functional movement. Staying informed allows me to incorporate evidence-based practices into my programs, ensuring the best outcomes for my clients.

I approach such clients with empathy and patience, emphasizing small, achievable goals to build confidence. I educate them on the importance of consistency and how it directly impacts their progress. By creating a supportive environment and celebrating small wins, I help them stay motivated and committed to their corrective exercise journey.
