Corrective Exercise + Functional Massage

FSTM is more than just a massage; it’s a focused approach that addresses specific areas of tension or restriction, health & active history and movement patterns. By applying slow & targeted pressure, we work together to release tightness & improve range of motion. This process not only helps you feel better but also empowers your body to perform at its best.

Corrective exercise is a science-based way of helping your body move the way it was designed to.
Instead of only focusing on where you feel tight or sore, corrective exercise looks at how your body moves as a whole— identifying imbalances, weaknesses, and habits that may be keeping you stuck in a cycle of tension.

Think of it as training your body to create lasting change, not just temporary relief.

Every corrective exercise session at CLIO blends movement and massage for a complete reset:

1. Assessment → We look at how your body moves, noticing compensations, imbalances, and areas of weakness.
2. Activation → You’ll practice targeted drills that “wake up” underused muscles and restore balance.
3. Integration → Movements are built into functional patterns (like squatting, reaching, twisting) so your body learns to move efficiently and safely.
4. Reinforcement with Massage → Hands-on massage clears restrictions and reinforces the changes you’ve just trained into your system.

• Break past progress plateaus
• Reduce recurring tightness and stiffness
• Improve posture and joint alignment
• Increase mobility and strength
• Support better performance in workouts, yoga, and everyday life

Massage is powerful for creating space and releasing tension. Corrective exercise fills that space with new, healthier movement patterns.
Together, they create results that last — not just for a few days, but long-term.
