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.
