This stretch routine is liquid gold in a bottle. I prescribe it just about every day in the clinic. Sometimes I need to whackbonk a clients’ upside of the head to remind them they need to go back to this routine to feel better. I do this with kindness. But seriously. Practitioners’ orders.
This routine stems from my watching my clients getting so much out of being passively stretched by me during their treatment, and frustrated they couldn’t achieve the same results on their own. So I devised this routine in a way where you, the client, needs to do as little as possible except breath into the depth of the stretch itself, abating any need to hold yourself into the stretch.
Key Notes and Tips for this regime;
1. Give yourself AT LEAST 5 minutes to completed this routine.
2. Whilst I suggest 30 seconds for each stretch, ideally, please stay in each position until you feel the stretch is completed, this can be up to two minutes.
3. Please don’t stretch into the ‘pain’ – a stretch should never feel painful
4. This regime is ideal to do daily for maximum results.
5. Don’t have any wall space? Use a closed door
