Stretch and Flex

About this course

Stretch and Flex focuses on stretching and mobility exercises aimed at improving movement control and range of motion. Participants practise activating and controlling stabilising muscles, developing more efficient movement patterns, and working with areas of muscular tension. A health questionnaire and/or initial assessment informs individual progression targets. The tutor assesses progress against class targets, while learners are expected to self-assess and reflect on their development. Home exercises may be recommended as learners progress.
