Course Description: 

The main benefits of the Kinesio Stretch Therapy method include: enhancing athletic performance, movement re-education, restoring mobility, decreasing pain, mobilizing fascial restrictions, and promoting overall quality of life. It also helps retrain the nervous system by implementing specific movement patterns.

The Kinesio Myofascial Release Method is based on traditional Eastern medicine practice that involves applying specific acupressure points following meridian lines. By improving energy flow, acupressure helps to IMMEDIATELY release muscle pain with great patient results.
