The therapist will be tested upon how accurately they perform the requested stretches, monitor the strength of contraction, the duration of stretch, the plane of movement, and compensation at other joints. The practical portion is pass/fail, based on a 5 point scale from: no clue to excellent. One of the benefits of getting a Certification in Flexibility Training is that it shows to your clients and colleagues that you wish to excel at this powerful form of therapy. Your knowledge and training allows you to add effective myofascial tissue lengthening techniques to your other commonly used modalities when treating painful skeletal muscles. You can use your PNF and Active Isolated stretches as an adjunct to other therapies or as a solo method for pain relief. The high level of skill developed by training to be certified, can be used to help our clients improve their posture, help prevent injuries, and to improve their athletic performance.
