3D Stretching Workshop

Not just any old flexibility course

Ever noticed how traditional stretches have little, if any, long term impact on muscle length? Have you ever wondered why?

Every move you make some muscles have to stretch to facilitate the movement. Others contract to form a balance. In effect, you are ‘stretching’ all of the time. Whenever you move, you move in three dimensions at each joint – this means that movement itself can be more effective than the static single plane practice of modern stretching you use on yourself and on your clients.

It has been proven that stretching dynamically and in 3 planes of motion is of greater value than stretching statically and in a single plane. A three dimensional stretch triggers a three dimensional contraction, all muscles operate in a stretch - contract - stretch - contract format, fulfilling the functional role of the muscle.

This one day practical workshop is designed to offer a complete overhaul of anatomic stretching that is characteristic of: improving flexibility, muscle tone, joint ROM, strength, balance and physical wellbeing.

Including:

• The new Science of stretching
• Stretching statically versus dynamically
• The pro’s and cons of stretch and strengthen protocol
• The short & tight/long & weak debate
• How a muscle works
• The role of stretching in motion anatomy
• Joints ACT & muscles REACT – the eccentric model of anatomy introduced
• Stretching couples
• Eliminating tension from the body

This workshop will open your eyes to a whole new way of working with the human body and you'll see results instantly amongst your clientèle and in your own training too.
