Course Description:
This course is based on the book Stretching Anatomy by Nelson and Kokkonen. This course
covers the fundamentals of stretching, the anatomy and physiology of stretching, types of
stretching (ballistic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, static, dynamic, and stretches for
athletes), and the benefits of stretching. The course presents stretching exercises for feet and
calves; knees and thighs; hips and lower trunk; arms, wrists, and hands; the shoulder; the back
and chest; and the neck, and it offers programs for mobility and flexibility. In each case the
course provides detailed diagrams of which muscles are involved in each stretch, how to execute
each stretch, modifications of each stretch, and when it is appropriate to use each stretch. It
includes beginner stretches, intermediate, advanced, and “expert” stretches, as well as stretching
programs for various sports for both pre-event and training. This course is a valuable resource
and reference for all PT clinicians.
