Stretch Therapy
STRETCH THERAPY POSTURE & FLEXIBILITY
Far more than stretching. P&F is a comprehensive system that includes stretching, strengthening, re-patterning, and relaxation. P&F is the safest, most efficient method to improve flexibility and was developed by Kit Laughlin. P&F is practiced by thousands of people worldwide, helping prevent or recover from injury and perform to their peak, at work, at home and in sport, regardless of age or fitness level. P&F is the most advanced approach to improving the body’s flexibility.
The Power Stretch approach draws on a number of body work disciplines with many novel techniques and includes the use of ‘partial poses’ to focus on a single joint, and contract-relax stretches.
SAFETY & EFFECTIVENESS
Safety
All P&F exercises have been subjected to a significant amount of testing by our teachers, therapists and students. Of the 100 standard exercise forms we use, we have probably rejected a similar number for failing this criterion.
Effectiveness
All potential P&F exercises are weighed against the criterion of efficiency. If two exercises are equally safe, the more effective one is selected.
