Certificate of Integrative Stretching Program
Take Your Flexibility to New Lengths
and Stand Out as an Integrative Stretching Specialist
Want to take your work with clients to the next level and add value to your services? Don't want to settle for a cookie cutter approach towards flexibility and mobility coaching? Want to improve and refine your own flexibility for a healthy and long career?
Then the Integrative Stretching Certification Program may be just what you're looking for if you want all of this and more. The Integrative Stretching approach doesn't limit itself to one tool, setting, or method. It is a holistic approach to flexibility training that utilizes what's been proven to work in promoting stronger, flexible, more resilient bodies and minds.
Story
The Integrative Stretching program itself started with my bodywork practice now known as Shift Rolfing and Wellness. Though I've been personally fascinated with flexibility training since I was a teenager I never considered starting a flexibility program until the foundation of Shift. Shift enabled me to find opportunities to share all of my experience working as a martial arts instructor, a personal trainer, a group fitness instructor, a yoga teacher, a yoga assistant, a massage therapist, and a Rolfer with other members of my community in the business of movement improvement.
As an integrative stretching practitioner you'll stand out among the growing community of stretch therapists as a practitioner with a greater amount of training and tools to offer the people you work with as well as yourself. The certificate program involves over 100 hours of in-person training and practice with an option to continue your learning with a study group
