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.

important tips
to remember

protocol of

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.
