A Physical Therapist's Guide: How to Stretch & Mobilize

Course details

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN THIS COURSE?...

As a physical therapist, I work with thousands of people who need help with stretching, mobility, and dysfunctional joints. I've created thousands of home exercise programs for people since I graduated with my Master's in Physical Therapy as well as becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). 

My name is Nick Helton The TravelPhysio, and I hope to be your instructor! I work full time as a physical therapist in an orthopedic setting.  

Join the over 7,000 students who have already enrolled in one Nick's courses!

I created this course because I want to achieve 4 main objectives:

1. WHY should or shouldn't you stretch - This question comes up ALL the time. Do I need to stretch? What kind of benefit can stretching provide for me? Take this course, and I'll walk you through if you should or shouldn't stretch.
2. WHEN should you stretch - I get asked this all the time as well. What's the proper amount of time to stretch for? Should I stretch before or after or during a workout? Does the timing matter? Take this course, and I'll walk you through when you should stretch and for how long.
3. HOW do I stretch - This one is simple. I've created 21+ videos (more to be added based on request) that will walk you though HOW to perform a stretch, as well as stretching for major muscle groups in the body. The great thing about the videos is you can re-watch them anytime you need to! They are available to you for life! That way, any time you want to try them you have access. You can watch them on your mobile device or on your computer at home.
4. And finally, the reason I created this course is to help YOU move. OneBetter Movement is all about helping people move. I created this course to try to help as many people as I can move better. I put hours of editing and video creation into this course. I hope you get value out of it, and I hope that you like it enough to enroll in some of my other courses!

I made this course for people to achieve a baseline understanding of stretching, mobility, and beginner level activity.
