Incorporate effective stretching techniques

Are you looking to expand your massage services? Learn effective stretches to incorporate into your massage treatments

Stretches and mobilising techniques can be very useful in massage sessions for relaxing the client, releasing particular muscle tension, mobilising the joints, and expanding the client’s flexibility.

They also provide the massage practitioner with an effective alternative to having to constantly apply pressure in massage treatments.

This 1 day workshop covers a range of stretches and mobilising techniques that can easily be incorporated into massage sessions. It looks at how to modify and adapt them to suit the individual client and the 'flavour' of the treatment session - e.g. gentle stretches for the frail, stronger stretches/ mobilisations in firmer treatments. It also offers guidelines and practice in creating further techniques on your own.

Suitable for: All qualified massage therapists who want to introduce dynamic stretches into their massage routines and their after care advice.
