Stretching for Home-Care

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

application of stretching techniques for client home care. Participants will learn to perform and

instruct basic static upper- and lower-body stretches as well as best practices for duration,

frequency, and intensity. In addition to static stretching, more advanced techniques such as

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) will be taught and practiced. This course will

help therapists gain confidence in recommending appropriate and effective home-care routines

for their clients.
