"Very intense and high payoff. If you think stretching is boring or marginally useful,
think again."

~Peter B.I. Crossfit Athlete, Vancouver

FAQ:

Q. Why should I sign up for The Drill?
A. Because lack of mobility increases risk of injury and can weaken your performance.

Q. Will I learn anything new?
A. Yes. This workshop is a smart fusion for avoiding painful injuries and to learn stretch re-patterning techniques based on the innovative principles of Stretch Therapy. We will tailor each P&F Drill to the participants area of interest!!!  Every class you will learn new amazing assisted stretches and mobility drills!

Q. How does Stretch Therapy work?
A. Mastering safe and efficient stretches releases joint stiffness and muscular tension.

Q. Is Stretch Therapy like yoga?
A. While yoga is an activity that combines physical exercise with relaxation techniques, Stretch Therapy applies the Contract-Relax (PNF) technique, a more advanced form of flexibility training that involves both the stretching and contracting of the muscle group being targeted.

Q. What is PNF?
A. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation – was originally developed as a form of rehabilitation, and it is very effective to help you gain long term functional flexibility. It is safely used to also improve muscular strength in the end range of movement.

About the iCocoon Stretch Therapy Workshops:

The approach of Stretch Therapy is based on the teachings of master trainer and author; Kit Laughling. Kit is the developer of the innovative Posture and Flexibility (P&F) program.

Much dedication and patience is required to learn this noble approach. This becomes very obvious after you have participated in the iCocoon Stretch Therapy Intro Workshop for the first time.

Without mastering proper form and in depth understanding of the technique, you would not be able to progress as well as expected. Our goal is to empower you with confident movement patterns that will support performing both partial and partner assisted exercises during regular P&F classes. This is why the iCST Intro is mandatory prior to attending regular weekly P&F Classes.

Why Stretch Therapy?

When performed on a regular basis, stretch therapy offers you an independently achievable preventative daily routine that will provide a lifetime of benefits:

  • Learn about your own patterns of tension, and how to change them
  • Gain deeper insight to yourself and enjoy confident movements
  • Your body will feel looser
  • Your range of movement will be greater
  • You will be more relaxed and you will sleep better

    Exercises introduced during this clinic:

    There is an exercise for all parts of our body.  AT the beginning of each class we will determine what are the participants areas of interest and build the routine spontaniously.

    This way every single person can walk away with the results of a full body stretch class.
