Stretch Therapy
Stretch Therapy is a comprehensive system that aims to help people experience grace and ease in their bodies.
-
Stretching
Various techniques are used to improve range of movement. Nerves, fascia, and muscles are used as “gateways” to change the brain.
-
Repatterning
Inactive muscles are made active. Knees, shoulders, and elbows are stabilized. Posture and alignment are made more efficient.
-
Relaxation
A critical, yet often forgotten part of any health optimization program. While commonly understood as a fundamental part of rejuvenation and regeneration practices, “relaxation” in ST also refers to techniques that enhance speed, as any force-producing agonist needs its antagonist to relax equally quickly to move faster.
-
Strengthening
The capacity of the whole body to exert force is emphasized. Most ST techniques are body-weight only, and all involve the “core.”
-
Safety
All ST exercises have been subjected to extensive testing by our teachers, therapists, and students to satisfy this criterion.
-
Effectiveness
All potential Stretch Therapy exercises are weighed against the criterion of effectiveness (efficiency). If two exercises are equally safe, the more effective one is selected.
