Asymmetry Correction Framework

Balance and optimize

Problem it solves

Individuals struggling to achieve sustainable improvements in health and wellbeing because they focus on isolated interventions rather than integrated lifestyle systems.

Best for

Individuals with noticeable asymmetries or imbalances

Not ideal for

Those without significant asymmetries or imbalances

Overview

Why this framework exists

The Asymmetry Correction Framework focuses on identifying and addressing asymmetries or imbalances in the body. By recognizing and correcting these imbalances, individuals can improve their overall movement, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance their athletic performance. This framework involves a combination of exercises, stretches, and movements designed to target specific areas of the body and promote balance and optimization.

Core principles

3 total
  1. Identify and address asymmetries or imbalances in the body
  2. Use targeted exercises and stretches to promote balance and optimization
  3. Focus on efficient and effective movements

Steps

3 steps
  1. Assess Asymmetries
    Evaluate your body for noticeable asymmetries or imbalances. Consider factors such as movement patterns, strength, and flexibility.
    Pro tipUse a variety of assessments, including visual observations and physical tests
    WarningBe cautious not to overanalyze or misinterpret assessment results
  2. Develop Correction Plan
    Create a plan to address identified asymmetries or imbalances. This may involve targeted exercises, stretches, and movements designed to promote balance and optimization.
    Pro tipFocus on progressive overload and gradual progression
    WarningAvoid overloading or pushing too hard, as this can exacerbate existing imbalances
  3. Implement Correction Plan
    Put the correction plan into action, consistently working to address identified asymmetries or imbalances. Monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.
    Pro tipBe patient and consistent in your approach
    WarningDon't be afraid to seek guidance from a professional if you're unsure about any aspect of the framework

Dr. Kelly Starrett's Experience

Dr. Kelly Starrett has successfully implemented the Asymmetry Correction Framework with his clients, resulting in improved movement, reduced injury risk, and enhanced athletic performance.

OutcomeImproved overall movement and athletic performance

Common mistakes

2 traps
Ignoring Asymmetries
Failing to address asymmetries or imbalances in the body can lead to poor movement, increased injury risk, and suboptimal athletic performance.
Overcorrecting
Overemphasizing correction of asymmetries or imbalances can lead to overloading, injury, or exacerbation of existing imbalances.

Origin story

How this framework came to be

The Asymmetry Correction Framework was developed through Dr. Kelly Starrett's work with athletes and individuals, recognizing the importance of addressing asymmetries and imbalances in the body. He found that by correcting these imbalances, individuals could improve their movement, reduce injury risk, and enhance their overall athletic performance.
