Corrective Exercise in Hamilton 

Rehabilitation, Back Pain & Women’s Health

At Hamilton Body Therapy, corrective exercise is designed to help you move better, reduce pain, and rebuild strength safely. These targeted programmes are particularly helpful if you are recovering from injury, surgery, chronic pain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes such as menopause.

Rather than generic exercise programmes, corrective exercise focuses on identifying movement patterns, muscular imbalances, and areas of weakness that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction. From there, we create a personalised plan to help restore strength, stability, and confidence in your body.

Melissa has completed extensive training in exercise rehabilitation, women’s health, and chronic condition management, allowing her to safely support clients with a wide range of health concerns.

Personalised rehabilitation programmes

 

Every corrective exercise programme begins with an assessment of your movement, strength, posture, and functional goals. From there, we design a tailored programme that may include:

• mobility and stability exercises

• core and pelvic floor strengthening

• postural retraining

• progressive strength work

• rehabilitation following injury or surgery

Our goal is to help you restore function, reduce pain, and build long-term resilience in your body.
 

Who Corrective Exercise Is For

Corrective exercise is ideal for people who want to reduce pain, improve movement, and rebuild strength safely. Many of our clients come to Hamilton Body Therapy after trying general exercise programmes that did not address the underlying cause of their discomfort.

Corrective exercise may be particularly helpful if you:

• Have ongoing lower back, hip, or joint pain

• Feel weak or unstable after pregnancy

• Are returning to exercise after surgery or injury

• Have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or arthritis

• Want support exercising safely with chronic health conditions

• Are experiencing changes in strength, stability, or weight during menopause

Our goal is to help you understand your body and build a safe, progressive pathway back to strength and confidence in movement.
 

Corrective Exercise for Women in Menopause

Hormonal changes during menopause can significantly affect muscle strength, joint stability, bone density, and metabolism. Many women notice new aches and pains, weight changes, or reduced strength during this stage of life.

Corrective exercise programmes at Hamilton Body Therapy are designed to support women through these changes with:

• Strength training for bone health

• Core and pelvic floor rehabilitation

• Joint stability and mobility work

• Safe progression back into regular exercise

With specialist training in menopause coaching and strength programming, Melissa helps women build resilience, strength, and confidence during midlife and beyond. Many women experiencing these changes also benefit from pelvic floor rehabilitation, which you can read more about on our pelvic floor therapy page.

​

Corrective Exercise for Pelvic Floor & Postnatal Recovery

Pregnancy, birth, and abdominal surgery can significantly affect core stability and pelvic floor function. Many women experience symptoms such as:

• pelvic floor weakness

• abdominal separation (diastasis recti)

• lower back or pelvic pain

• reduced core strength

• bladder leakage with exercise

Corrective exercise programmes are designed to rebuild the connection between the core, pelvic floor, and breathing system, helping restore stability and function.

Using evidence-based methods and specialist training in pre- and postnatal exercise, we support women in safely returning to exercise, lifting, running, and everyday activities. Many women experiencing these changes also benefit from pelvic floor rehabilitation, which you can read more about on our pelvic floor therapy page.
