Muscle imbalances are a common precursor to injury. When the body’s muscles aren’t working in synergy with each other it puts more stress on the compensating muscles and eventually leads to wear and tear of the joints. An example of this is lower back pain, which is commonly caused by muscle imbalances such as weak abdominals and tight hip flexors. These issues can also inhibit the gluteus muscles from working properly and as a result overload the lower back.
At Form Fitness we recognise the importance of how the body functions, which is why we undertake postural and muscle imbalance testing before designing a personalised corrective exercise program specifically for you. By identifying the imbalances present we are able to incorporate the necessary strengthening and lengthening exercises required to perfect your posture and eliminate injury or pain.
In most cases by identifying the imbalances present and correcting them, the pain associated with injury goes away and the body is able to heal itself. By incorporating corrective exercise into your training regime and improving your body’s awareness we reduce the stress on your structure and decrease the likelihood of injury so you can reach your potential faster!
Eliminate those aches and pains now and contact us to find out how you can live a pain free life and do the simple tasks in life without discomfort.
After spending years in chronic pain with no answers from MRIs, and being told by various specialists I would need to start considering pain management I decided to contact Janelle at Form Fitness in a last effort to be pain free. Janelle quickly identified what my issues were and built a program to restore proper movement and function. I now have close to no days in pain and the difference it has made in my life has been enormous. The programs are tailor made, and are constantly being adjusted to ensure you meet your goals. She has an incredibly in depth understanding of how the body should function and is consistently positive, patient and fun to train with. The gym itself has a fantastic atmosphere, very friendly with great personalities all around. I really cant recommend Janelle and her Team enough and am excited to keep training with them. – C Cocks
Very thorough & professional. The balance assessment by Janelle was detailed & extremely useful. Training with Therese is tailored exactly to what my body needs. She breaks more challenging actions down so I can push as far as my injuries allow. The equipment is very good. I’ve gone much further with Form Fitness than I ever managed in a regular gym & in a much more pleasant environment! I feel much stronger. I feel safe & supported here. – S Newman
