Refine the material and concepts from The Stretch Experience Three Day Intensive. Prior to the day, we'll collect your questions and prioritise learning based on student requests. Learning will be hands-on with students practicing on teachers and peers.

In level 1 you will learn a specific 'choreography' of stretches that can be performed in approximately 1 hour. The stretches cover the entire body focusing on the major joints, muscle groups and fascial lines. The choreography is designed to help you digest a large amount of information as easily as possible, as the stretches are organised in a logical flow. Those with more experience in manual therapy will likely grasp 'the moves' more quickly, allowing them to layer in more nuance. Those who are new to manual therapy can focus on the basics of position and direction; achieving a good level of proficiency by the end of the course.

Level 1 has a heavy focus on therapist positioning as the efficacy of the stretch is impacted most by the position of the therapist. Being very physical work, teaching you to be efficient with your own body is paramount.

Learning is hands-on. Through the experience of working with your peers, you will learn how to guide each other to a place of deep relaxation and trust. You will be ‘on the stretch table’ for approximately half the time. Experiencing the work as the receiver is integral to understanding how to deliver assisted stretch to others.

Certification

Following attendance of all class hours and the final assessment, students receive a certificate of completion. The assessment is completed during the course hours.

In Level 1 we used specific choreography to anchor learning. Now, we break out of the mould, explore new material and refine the practice.

Refinement of headline concepts from Level 1 - Therapist positioning and body mechanics, traction, flow.

Client position - how does it impact the stretch and how to leverage it for better results.

Breathing function - how to coach breathing for improved results.

New stretches for all the major fascial lines/muscle groups.

Deeper investigation of common issues (chronic low back pain, lack of knee flexion).

How to work with hyper-mobile clients.
