Korjausliikkeillä

Korjausliikkeillä, meaning "correctional movements" or "corrective exercises" in English, refers to a specific type of physical therapy and exercise program designed to address and improve biomechanical dysfunctions, postural imbalances, and movement patterns that can lead to pain or injury. The core principle behind korjausliikkeillä is to identify the root cause of a problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. This involves a thorough assessment of an individual's posture, movement, and muscle function.

These exercises typically target areas of weakness, tightness, or poor coordination. They are not general fitness exercises but are prescribed based on the findings of the assessment. For example, if a person has rounded shoulders, the exercises might focus on strengthening the upper back muscles and stretching the chest muscles. If there is an issue with gait, exercises might work on improving hip and ankle mobility and strength. The goal is to restore proper muscle activation, balance, and joint mechanics.

Korjausliikkeillä can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including those experiencing chronic pain, recovering from injuries, athletes looking to improve performance and prevent future injuries, or even sedentary individuals seeking to improve their posture and overall physical health. The exercises are usually performed under the guidance of a qualified professional, such as a physiotherapist, chiropractor, or athletic trainer, to ensure they are performed correctly and effectively. Consistency and proper technique are crucial for achieving the desired outcomes.
