Abstract:	NASM Essentials of Corrective Exercise Training introduces readers to NASM's proprietary Corrective Exercise Continuum, a system of training that uses corrective exercise strategies to help improve muscle imbalances and movement efficiency to decrease the risk of injury. It offers knowledge and advanced skills needed to successfully work with clients suffering from musculoskeletal impairments, injuries, or post-rehabilitation concerns. The text provides applicable corrective exercise techniques and programming using the National Academy of Sports Medicine's proprietary Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model. The OPT model is a system of training that uses corrective exercise strategies to help improve muscle imbalance, movement capabilities and decrease the risk of injury. More than 100 corrective exercise techniques in the categories of self-myofascial release, static stretching, neuromuscular stretching, isolated strength training, positional isometrics, and integrated dynamic movements are included. These, as well as corrective exercise strategies for common movement impairments seen in each segment of the body and advanced corrective exercise applications, make this text the premier resource for learning and applying NASM's systematic approach to the Corrective Exercise Continuum.
