WHAT
IS A CHEK PRACTITIONER?
The Corrective
High-performance Kinesiology Institute is an elite educational
and corrective exercise center based in San Diego, CA.
The C.H.E.K Institute’s approach to corrective exercise
is representative of the education and philosophies of the founder,
Paul Chek.
Chek Practitioners
are specialists in corrective exercise to successfully rehabilitate
from injury and strength and conditioning for sports performance.
Corrective exercise is a useful adjunct to chiropractic, osteopathic,
physiotherapy and any health-care treatment, especially when
the acute or sub-acute therapy is no longer needed by the client/patient.
Corrective
exercise commonly addresses:
Back, neck,
knee and hip pain
Postural & muscle imbalances
Work, home or sports injuries that seem to never go away even
after surgery or initial treatment.
HOW CAN A C.H.E.K PRACTITIONER HELP YOU?
A C.H.E.K
practitioner is skilled to help you achieve your goals:
- To recover
from injury
- Become
pain freeIncrease your sports performance
- Increase
your productivity at work
- Improve
your appearance
By using
corrective, traditional and mind-body exercise therapy, complex
issues can be resolved.
Every client’s
individuality (there is no ‘one size fits all’ exercise
program) will be assessed in a professional manner and ‘conditioned’ for
the way we need to live today in order to prevent the many
postural dysfunctions that have emerged over the last 20 years!
Depending
on the level of complexity you present it may be necessary
to suggest the use of other allied professionals of which I
will gladly recommend.
