This special “Pop Up” class (short notice class) is being offered at a special reduced price $140 (Reg $250). It will be limited to 10 students to allow direct contact with the instructor. Focus will be on technique and mastering the sequence of stretches. We are looking for motivated students looking to learn in this intensive environment. There will be some required theory homework to be done online before class. The class is presented by our newest teacher, Bradley Martin. The rotator class presented the next day will focus specifically on the shoulder girdle area. Take both classes and receive another $20 discount (discount will be taken off after purchase). Both these classes can be taken individually, but even better they are part of our comprehensive Assisted Stretching Certification program launching Jan 2023. This certification is an A to Z treatment protocol allowing the student to perform a full stretching and mobility session. Components of the treatment protocol include effective stretching, positional release, relaxation modules, warm up and basic postural and strengthening exercises. More details to come. Successful completion of the PNF Stretching and Rotator Class count towards the certification if you choose to continue. If interested in these special discounted classes sign up soon. First come, first serve and we close out at 10. Class is open to massage therapists, fitness trainers, yoga teachers and others in the hands on wellness fields.
Class Details
In this course we will discuss in depth the anatomy of the muscles we intend to stretch. We will discuss the theory and physiology of stretching.

We will also be discussing self-care stretches that can be used to improve upon the health of our students as well as being recommended to their clients to enhance their treatment effect.
