Facilitated Stretching for Massage Therapists

8 CE Seminar

Students should dress for stretching and exercise.

Course Description:

Massage therapists often feel they don’t have the training or expertise to correctly perform stretches and avoid incorporating them into their sessions. They may also avoid including stretches for their clients because they seem too strenuous.

Facilitated Stretching is a safe, simple, yet dramatically effective PNF style stretching technique that can be used with a wide variety of clients to regain or improve flexibility. This method is easy on the therapist, engages the client in the process, and easy to incorporate into a massage session.

Facilitated stretching, combined with soft tissue work, enables the practitioner to obtain greater overall success in client treatment sessions. Additionally, a program of self-stretching using these techniques can be invaluable for clients in their home stretching programs.
