Kit Laughlin presents Stretch Therapist (ST) and Stretch Teacher Training (TT) Workshops in 2010

 

Stretch Therapist (ST) training workshops
The Stretch Therapist (ST) workshop is presented by Kit Laughlin and Cherie Seeto and is based on Kit’s book Overcome neck & back pain. The workshop is designed for practitioners of a recognised school of bodywork who want to be able to offer clients the latest assessment techniques and the most efficient corrective exercises. This workshop will train bodywork practitioners in the diagnosis and treatment of neck, back, shoulder, arm and hand pain caused by muscular and skeletal asymmetries. Participants will gain mastery of relevant solo and practitioner-applied stretching and strengthening exercises and neural re-patterning techniques for the analysis and correction of dysfunction. The ST workshop will use a six-day format delivered in two stages: Stage I – three days; Stage II – three days: total of 36 contact hours.

Workshop Name:	Spinal Fitness Workshop
Description:	The importance of back care and rehabilitation has long been debated.  How do we really know we are doing the right thing when prescribing exercises for this population group?  What is the main focus of back care, strength, flexibility, endurance or power?  Do abdominal strengthening exercises actually help clients with back problems or contribute to further dysfunction or pain. Let’s look further in to the evidence – based prevention and rehabilitation protocols in current use.  Assessment or current myths and confusion around back disorders will be discussed. Within this workshop we develop the core program addressing three stages of spinal fitness.    Stage One: Groove motion/motor patte Stage Two: Building whole body and spinal stability Stage Three: Endurance   This series includes both lecture materials and workout components for your enjoyment and education
