Corrective Exercise Continuum
The systematic programming process used to address neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction using inhibitory, lengthening, activation, and integration techniques.
Inhibitory Techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to reduce tension or decrease activity of overactive neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
Lengthening Techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to increase the extensibility, length, and range of motion (ROM) of neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
Activation Techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to reeducate or increase activation of underactive tissues.
Integration Techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to retrain the collective synergistic function of all muscles through functionally progressive movements.
The Regional Interdependence Model
Assessment and intervention model used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a patient’s primary complaint or symptoms is impacted by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions.
Scope of Practice
The procedures and actions professionals are permitted to administer in accordance to state and national law.
Biopsychosocial Model of Pain
Treatment paradigm for chronic musculoskeletal pain that accounts for the role of biological, psychological, and social factors in an individual’s experience of pain.
