The Benefits Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA

By Donna Wood


Correcting your posture is very important for maintaining your good health. The truth is that posture has more effects on your health than you think. Of course, some of your typical problems with posture are the usual back pains and neck pains. Some people with poor posture can also suffer from headaches. These health issues are only the tip of the iceberg, however, with the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA, you can get quick and permanent pain relief.

Most clients that turn up for this extermination tend to have a biomechanical imbalance. That is, quite simply, that our bodies do not move exactly how they should. Poor posture, tight muscles, misaligned hips, the list goes on, so how do we know if we are doing an exercise correctly? Well, it's very simple, when you are training a muscle group, ask yourself, is that muscle group working the hardest when you are doing the exercise and are the support muscles secondary in the movement.

The fact is that there was a good reason why your teachers often told you to sit up straight in the good old days. The issue is posture. Many of us, lately have slacked off from this regime and thus our posture muscles have also lost their strength. This is why correcting your posture is so important. So, how do you do it?

For example, if you are doing a sit up (crunch) is your core engaged and do you feel your tummy muscles working? Or are your neck, shoulders and lower back doing more of the work. Depending on the individual's fitness and muscle imbalances will depend on their ability and position to perform this exercise.

We all start to slow down as we age, but we do have control over how much physical activity we do. While certainly our muscles slow as we age, they will improve with regular exercise. This extends older peoples abilities to look after themselves in their own home for a longer period. It will increase balance and diminish the chance of falls.

What exercises to do I believe, depends on the individual, as in all things we are all different, with different capabilities. I like swimming after taking it up two years ago after an absence of 40 years from exercising. Swimming is gentle on the body, and best of all you do not have to be able swim.

Walking, and doing simple exercises in a medium that gives resistance to all the muscles, making them work harder! This regular routine has allowed me to climb two flights of stairs without becoming breathless. Something I could not do prior to taking up swimming!

It is not a magic cure for existing complaints but given time and the correct exercise may improve and control some of the pain associated with the likes of arthritis. As we grow older our heart, lungs and circulatory systems age along with the rest of the body. Even the brain cells slow down and unfortunately in some cases turn into dementia in one of its many forms. The bottom line is that corrective exercise comes with many benefits, but you have to find the right instructors to enjoy the full potential of this exercise regime in Santa Cruz.
