COURSE OVERVIEW

COURSE OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

Lastics Online Flexibility Training Course is NASM approved and designed for personal trainers who are interested in becoming versed in non-assisted and assisted stretching techniques.

The course is six lessons in a self-study format to make it convenient to do anytime and anywhere at your own pace. It is based on the premise that developing muscle, whether stretching or strengthening, should adhere to the same strategies in order to be effective and produce results. Our analysis shines a light on the deficiencies in current flexibility training and explains why net results in flexibility gains rarely match gains seen in strength training.

This training aligns strength with flexibility in its methodology and approach. It teaches you how to spot where obscured tightness is restricting movement and flexibility, and further, develop an eye to visually understand the mobility/flexibility story a body is trying to tell.

Approved by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), successful completion earns 0.8 continuing education credits toward your personal training certification. 

THIS COURSE...

  • Imparts a knowledge base and skill set that can be practiced by professionals and their clients of all ages, fitness levels and sizes.

  • Creates an inherent understanding that equips trainers to “train” flexibility on par with how they train strength.


UPON COMPLETION...

  1. You will understand how to identify where the body is restricted due to obscured tightness. 

  2. You will have felt a profound difference when Lastics Stretch Techniques are applied to release muscles where tightness is obscured.

  3. You will be able to apply these proven techniques to client sessions to help substantially, significantly, and safely increase clients’ flexibility and mobility, and decrease pain.

  4. You will finish having the technical expertise needed to become a flexibility expert.

  5. You will receive an official Certificate of Completion once you have satisfied the post-training test requirement.


*This workshop is not typically refundable though exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
