FHT Hosted Course: Stretching your Clients

Would you like to be able to incorporate stretches into your massage routine? This workshop provides you with the skills to deliver couch-based and seat-based stretches for the neck, back, chest, upper and lower limbs. Specifically:

• Gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in the calf

• The hamstrings and quadriceps of the thigh, hip flexors and gluteals

• Latissimus dorsi and quadratus lumborum in the back

• Pectorals

• Internal and external shoulder rotators

• Rhomboids

• Muscles of the neck.

By the end of the day will know how to incorporate the stretches you have learned into your own routine. This is a practical workshop and yet there is time to discuss for which clients stretches are particularly useful and for whom they may be contraindicated. Variations of each stretch are provided so that you can use these techniques even with the most inflexible of clients. This workshop focuses on passive stretching. That is, stretching that you will perform on your client while they are completely relaxed. Please see our Designing Home Stretching Routines course which is running on the following day to take part in the ideal accompaniment to this course.
