NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Behavior Change Specialist

06/26/2023

I've had a few people ask about my certifications, namely what CES stands for. So I thought I'd shed some light on just plain old letters. lol. CES stands for Corrective Exercise Specialist. Corrective exercises are exercises that can help correct, or at the very least improve potential muscle imbalances. A muscle imbalance could be something as simple as one muscle working more than another because of repetitive movements. An example would be tightness in your hip muscles because you work at a desk and your hips are in an almost constant state of flexion throughout the day. This is where some corrective exercises and stretches would come in to play. Certain stretches and exercises can help alleviate the stress on your hips. You can stretch those hips out and strengthen other muscles to help restore some balance. Rich Fauhmy, MS, NASM-CPT, CES, PES, said that corrective exercise is about, "Focusing on quality of movement, movement efficiency, injury resistance and recovery..."
Years ago I went to a physical therapist for help with muscle tightness in my neck that subsequently triggered migraines. The physical therapist, well meaning and helpful, began telling me all sorts of things that were wrong with my posture. Needless to say, I left feeling like Quasimodo, with exercises in hand and somehow grateful to have been told how deficient I was. Lol. Shoot, I even paid the guy for it. Lol. Anyway. . . I was grateful because I learned some things about my body and how to improve my movements and alleviate pain. I am in no way saying that I'm a physical therapist. In fact, I'm who you come to once you've graduated from physical therapy and want to maintain the progress you've made. I create training plans that include corrective exercises tailored to your needs and that fit you and your life. Everybody and every BODY is unique in structure and movement. Being a Corrective Exercise Specialist helps me to better help others. And I promise, you don't look like Quasimodo and you won't leave feeling like you do.
