We had a class full of favorites to break in the new Colorado Springs classroom!
It was the BEST!
These therapists from Colorado, Kansas, & Nebraska learned to use Passive, Active and Resisted ROM stretch therapy techniques while standing on the massage table, maneuvering clients’ limbs with their feet, using the strong muscles of their legs and hips. We held onto overhead bars and leaned into our suspended support straps for balance and leverage as we lift, bend, and twist clients into the most amazing stretches. This helps a practitioner effortlessly maintain consistent pressure and counterbalance while providing deep point holds, or long fascial stretches.
We also compress or restrict clients compensating body parts down into a neutral alignment while creating various ranges of motion throughout all major joints in the body. The Barefoot Massage Therapist can observe movement patterns and queue the client into resisted actions to help build joint stability, and encourage their interoceptive awareness during passive fascial stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
It’s so much more than a basic stretch session & these therapists rocked it!!!
