Is it recommended to “stretch out” clients once they are done working out? Is there a certain protocol when doing so?

Stretching your client can be a great service

that you provide in your sessions. Partner

stretching creates dynamic resistance and

intensity that static stretching alone

sometimes cannot provide. Also, some of

your clientele might not be stretching as

frequently as you’d prefer, perhaps because

they don’t feel confident stretching on their

own, they don’t have (or make) the time to

stretch, or maybe they just don’t want to

stretch.

1. Communicate – Always have

open communication when it comes

to stretching your client and confirm

with them beforehand if they are both

comfortable with, and open to you

stretching them. By confirming, you

are showing them respect and

courtesy. You never want to stretch

out at client without getting their

permission. The very last thing you’d ever want to do is to make any of

your clientele feel uncomfortable,

either during the session or during

the stretching process.

Some

important tips

to remember

on the correct

protocol of

stretching out

your clients.

2. Know your Client – Stretching your

client can be incredibly intense for

them and quite personal. Therefore,

be aware of their physical and mental

limitations while keeping in the mind

their flexibility levels. Stretching

should be a release and therefore, a

gratifying experience.

3. Educate – Some of your clients

might not be aware of the benefits of

stretching. They may have questions

on why stretching is important, or

why you have chosen to stretch

particular muscles (and in certain

ways) for them during their session.
