About the iCocoon Stretch Therapy Workshops and Classes

The approach draws on a number of bodywork disciplines and features many novel techniques, the use of ‘partial poses’ and partner assisted stretching exercises to focus on a single joint, contract-relax (C-R) and other neural techniques to enhance posture and flexibility.

You will learn techniques to increase your awareness of what is happening in the body and to increase the range of movement of the body’s joints and muscles by effective re-mapping of the brain’s image of its capacities.

Why are mandatory prerequisites important?

Partial poses are easy to learn and can be used as daily maintenance. But your posture and flexibility will improve significantly when working with partners in class, one-on-one, benefiting from assisted stretches.

During the iCocoon Stretch Therapy Workshops and Classes you will learn the use of props to reduce the apprehension reflex, correct and perform each exercise independently. Ample practice of partial and assisted poses during the series will ensure that every one will walk away with an amazing experience.

Do you have sign and symptoms of neurological deficits such as:

Back pain which hurts as much at night as during the day, unrelenting pain down the back of the leg, areas of numbness on the buttocks or on the leg or feet, pins and needles in the feet, wasting of the leg muscles, or loss of feeling in part of the legs or feet. Similar signs can be present in the arms and hands. Stretch Therapy is not intended as a substitute for professional medical care. Be advised, as you may have a specific condition that could be worsened by using certain exercises. Check to be sure - talk to Giselle or/and consult your MD before signing up for the iCocoon Stretch Therapy program.
