Exercises for Imbalances

Correcting muscle imbalances often involves strengthening exercises for weak muscles and stretching exercises for tight muscles. At MHV Clinic, we create personalised exercise routines to correct specific imbalances and promote overall balance.

Strengthening Weak Muscles

Exercises such as lunges, squats, and resistance bands target underused muscles, helping them regain strength and function.

Core Stability Work

Strengthening the core muscles helps to support the spine and improve overall posture, addressing imbalances in the lower back and abdominal areas.

Stretching Tight Muscles

Stretching exercises, such as hamstring stretches, chest openers, and hip flexor stretches, help loosen tight muscles that may be pulling the body out of alignment.

Postural Correction Exercises

Specific exercises, such as chin tucks and wall angels, help correct poor posture caused by muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulders.

Foam Rolling and Myofascial Release

These techniques help release tightness in overused muscles, promoting better blood flow and recovery.

By incorporating these exercises into your routine under professional guidance at MHV Clinic, you can correct muscle imbalances and improve your overall physical well-being.
