HOME / TRAINING
Learn how to incorporate the partner assisted stretching into your existing treatments, or offer facilitated stretching as a stand-alone service.
Assisted stretching can help improve overall daily function by improving flexibility, reduce risk of injuries, manage pain and discomfort.
As assisted stretch therapy has gained popularity in the recent decade, many physical therapists have been concerned about the increased risk of injury by undertrained staff performing aggressive stretching that can create injuries instead of alleviating them.
Our Certified Stretch Therapist course offers the most effective and safest stretch technique, known as “Facilitated Stretch Therapy”. Therapists will be extensively trained to
understand the human anatomy and to perform proper techniques to maximize results in the optimal period.
Whether you are looking to attend a single-day training or our full two-day training option, we can accommodate!
Our first day of training is comprised of the Upper Extremity and the second day is focused on the Lower Extremity and spine.
