OmniFit is San Diego's post-rehab and executive posture specialist, offering corrective exercise and post-rehab personal training in Pacific Beach designed to bridge the gap between physical therapy discharge and independent strength training. Every program begins with a 45-minute movement and postural assessment using NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) and ACE Orthopedic Exercise Specialist protocols to identify restrictions, compensations, and asymmetries. From there, clients follow the Assess → Correct → Build → Sustain methodology — progressing from targeted mobility and activation work through progressive strength loading and ultimately to independent training with corrective maintenance built in. OmniFit applies a strict 3/10 pain ceiling rule to every session: if a movement causes more than mild discomfort, it is immediately modified or replaced. Progress is tracked through quarterly posture comparison photos, strength benchmarks, and formal 30-day reports covering seven standardized metrics — ensuring every program adjustment is data-driven. This program is not physical therapy — clients must be cleared by a licensed medical professional before beginning.
Ideal Client
Who Corrective Exercise Training Is For
- Post-PT professionals — Cleared from physical therapy but unsure how to train safely or rebuild strength on your own
- Desk workers with chronic discomfort — Recurring neck, shoulder, or lower back pain from prolonged sitting
- Former athletes recovering from surgery — Need structured return-to-performance programming that respects healing timelines
- Adults 30–60 with movement limitations — Experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or compensation patterns during workouts
- Professionals burned by generic training — Past experiences at gyms or with trainers who ignored pain signals or pushed through discomfort
OmniFit's corrective exercise program is designed for the professional who has been told "you're cleared" from physical therapy but doesn't feel confident walking into a gym and training independently. The typical corrective exercise client is between 30 and 55, works a desk-heavy job, has a history of at least one significant injury or surgery, and needs a coach who understands how to load the body progressively without triggering flare-ups. OmniFit functions as the structured bridge between rehab and real-world performance.
Common Conditions
Postural & Movement Issues We Address
Every program starts with a postural photo analysis and movement assessment. These are the most common patterns we see in desk-bound professionals:
Forward Head Posture
Chronic forward carriage from screen work, leading to neck strain and headaches.
Rounded Shoulders
Thoracic kyphosis and upper crossed syndrome from prolonged desk sitting.
Shoulder Impingement
Scapular dysfunction and rotator cuff irritation from poor pressing mechanics.
Anterior Pelvic Tilt
Hip flexor tightness and weak glutes from 8+ hours of daily sitting.
Chronic Low-Back Pain
Lumbar instability and core weakness — often the downstream result of hip and thoracic dysfunction.
Knee Discomfort
Patellofemoral issues from quad-dominant movement patterns and weak posterior chain.
Important: OmniFit does not diagnose medical conditions. These are common movement patterns identified through postural assessment and corrective exercise screening. If you have an active injury or undiagnosed pain, consult a physician or Doctor of Physical Therapy before beginning training.
Our Process
The Corrective Exercise Process at OmniFit
Every corrective program follows the same evidence-based framework used across all OmniFit programs — Assess → Correct → Build → Sustain — with additional emphasis on pain management and movement confidence.
Phase 1
Assess
45-minute movement and postural assessment. Overhead squat analysis, single-leg tests, postural photos, range-of-motion screening, and full injury history review.
Phase 2
Correct
Targeted corrective strategy: foam rolling and myofascial release, muscle activation drills, motor control progressions, and integrated movement patterns — all within the 3/10 pain ceiling.
Phase 3
Build
Progressive strength loading with refined technique. Controlled tempo, strategic exercise selection, and gradual volume increases while maintaining movement quality.
Phase 4
Sustain
Transition to independent training with corrective maintenance built in. Skills transfer, self-assessment awareness, and long-term programming that prevents regression.
The full corrective arc typically spans 4–6 months, with measurable postural improvements documented through quarterly comparison photos, strength benchmarks, and 7-metric progress reports. Most clients notice improved movement quality within 3–4 weeks.

Collaboration
Working With Your Healthcare Team
When appropriate and with your permission, OmniFit can share general training considerations with your physical therapist or physician to support a safe transition from rehab to training. We do not provide medical recommendations or modify a PT's treatment plan — we complement it.
If at any point during training your symptoms change or pain increases beyond the 3/10 threshold, we will refer you back to your healthcare provider before continuing.
Medical disclaimer: Corrective exercise and post-rehab training at OmniFit are not physical therapy and do not replace medical care. Clients must be cleared by a licensed physician or Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) before beginning post-rehab training. OmniFit does not diagnose conditions, treat acute injuries, or prescribe rehabilitation protocols.
Questions
Corrective Exercise FAQs
Is this the same as physical therapy?
No. OmniFit provides corrective exercise and post-rehab personal training — not physical therapy. We focus on restoring movement quality, rebuilding strength, and preventing re-injury after you've been cleared from PT. Clients must have clearance from a physician or DPT before starting.
What is the 3/10 pain ceiling rule?
No exercise in an OmniFit session should cause pain above a 3 out of 10. If a movement causes more than mild discomfort, it's immediately modified or replaced. If pain worsens during or after training, we refer you back to your healthcare provider.
How do I know if I'm ready for corrective exercise training?
If you've been discharged from physical therapy but still feel unsure how to train safely, you're likely a strong fit. If you have an active, undiagnosed injury or haven't been evaluated by a medical professional, start there first.
What postural issues do you help with?
The most common patterns we address include forward head posture, rounded shoulders, thoracic kyphosis, anterior pelvic tilt, hip flexor tightness, shoulder impingement patterns, and chronic lower back discomfort from prolonged sitting.
How long until I see results?
Most clients notice improved movement quality and reduced discomfort within 3–4 weeks. Measurable postural changes typically appear within 6–8 weeks, documented through comparison photos. The full arc is typically 4–6 months.
Do you coordinate with my physical therapist?
When appropriate and with your permission, yes. We can share general training considerations with your PT to support a safe transition. We don't modify treatment plans or provide medical recommendations.
Can I do corrective exercise virtually?
Yes. Virtual corrective exercise includes remote movement screening, guided progressions, and real-time form feedback via video. Available as part of the
Executive Reset or standalone sessions.
What credentials does the trainer have?
Nemezio Lopez Perez holds NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES), Behavior Change Specialist (BCS), and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) credentials, plus an ACE Orthopedic Exercise Specialist certification — with 10+ years of coaching experience.
