Course Curriculum
The Stretch Method consists of two progressive levels of training, designed to develop skilled, confident assisted stretch therapists.
Level 1: Foundations provides the essential techniques and principles that form the backbone of every assisted stretching session. Students learn a comprehensive system that can be adapted to a wide variety of body types, mobility levels, and client needs, creating a strong foundation for safe, effective, and results-driven stretching.
Level 2: Advanced Techniques is available exclusively to Level 1 graduates who have completed a minimum of 100 hours of practical experience. This advanced course introduces more specialised techniques that target deeper fascial layers, joint capsules, and complex movement restrictions, enabling therapists to achieve even greater therapeutic outcomes.
The Stretch Method courses combine theory with practical application to ensure students are fully prepared and confident in their new skills. Upon registration, students receive comprehensive pre-course study material covering the theoretical foundations of assisted stretching, providing essential background knowledge before the hands-on training begins. The three-day, in-person workshop is 100% practical, immersive, and fast-paced, allowing students to develop confidence through extensive guided practice.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certification as a Stretch Method practitioner. Stand out in the industry and attract more clients with your specialized skills.
​
Students are awarded their certificate of completion at the end of the course but must log a minimum of 25 hours of practice before offering paid sessions to clients.
