Assisted Stretching

This 8-hour hands-on course introduces massage therapy students to the principles and

practice of assisted stretching, including static stretching, proprioceptive neuromuscular

facilitation (PNF), and pin-and-stretch techniques. All techniques will be learned on the massage

table for seamless integration into massage sessions. Students will explore the neuromuscular

mechanisms underlying flexibility and range of motion, and how to leverage those mechanisms

to achieve greater results for clients. This course will help therapists gain confidence in applying

a variety of stretching techniques to the whole body for a more holistic therapeutic massage.
