Get Certified with a Trusted Organization
The Certificate in Stretching & Flexibility was created by Brad Walker and the Stretching Institute (est. 1995).
Brad is often referred to as the Stretch Coach and has even been called the Stretching Guru. He’s been involved in the field of stretching, flexibility and sports injury management since the early 1990’s and over that time has built a reputation as the go-to-guy for all things stretching and flexibility; so much so, that he now sits on expert panels for 7 different companies, and Google cites over 100,000 references to him and his work on the internet.
Brad has created flexibility training programs for some of the world’s largest fitness companies and has written more books and articles on stretching and flexibility than any other author. In fact, Amazon has listed his books on 5 of their best-seller lists both in the US and the UK.
You are correct that if one ignores stretching in there fitness regime then they do so at their own peril. Thanks,
Duston
After I started the course, I found additional books on rotator cuff and shin splints. Definitely looking forward to enhancing my fitness background to better assist my clientele.
After about a month using Beads stretching program pain has almost gone.
Send a view email's to Brad regards D's knee pain and great feedback. Hopefully Brad will develop a more specific program for knee pain and a stretching routine for the over fithy year old ones upward
My stretching routine was getting kind of stale so I bought the Big Book of Stretching Routines. It has routines for EVERYTHING. You can just start with a few muscle groups and see if they're tight. Then build your practice up plugging and playing as needed. One muscle group is loose then swap it out for another. Had a recent injury? There's probably a routine to prevent a future one.
Since doing these stretches I haven't pulled any muscles, and I'm moving as well the business end of the tournament as I was at the start. Before taking up Brad's stretches, I was prone to muscle injury and was considering retiring to the garden. A morning's skiing was enough. Now I'm on the slope every day I can.
Also, I enjoy Brad's updates as the knowledge he imparts enables me to understand the stretching process better.
The different articles - I print those out to read over lunch. It increases my knowledge, which I can then pass on to my clients for a better outcome for them.
Keep up the great work. Thank you.
