Stretching helps to reduce stress, overcome injury and alleviate chronic aches and pains. Classes are designed to safely increase flexibility. The Posture & Flexibility (P&F)* approach uses detailed anatomy and tested training principles to select safe, effective and efficient stretches from many traditional forms (sports, yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, Pilates, etc.). Before exercises are used in classes, they are evaluated and often modified to create compound stretches/movements.P&F focuses on the process of stretching, targeting restrictions to effect change where it is most needed. The method incorporates stretching, core and postural strengthening, and breathing techniques.  There is no attempt to force the body into a final ideal position. As a result, the approach is challenging and can be adapted to meet the needs of participants at their own level of flexibility and fitness. We are excited by the results clients experience in our new ‘stretch and strength’ program.  Clinic staff have been training for several years in the methods developed by Kit Laughlin (www.pandf.com.au), and we now have three instructors available to teach classes at the clinic.
