practical, will be presented in the workshop.

Most participants expressed an interest in returning after
8 credits
they had the chance to practice the techniques in their
workplace. This advanced workshop will give participants
the opportunity to elevate their skills and understanding of STR to ensure they produce the best possible results
for their patients/clients.
Workshop Details
This practical workshop will:
 Emphasize pressure (lock/glide) going from superficial structures to deep, and selecting the most
effective tool for optimal performance.
 Focus on strategies to ensure the patient/client actively moves towards the stretch. This is achieved by
applying resistance against movements that are gravity assisted.
 Give participants the opportunity to concentrate more on application because they are already familiar
with most of the techniques.
 Participants will learn how to apply the techniques in a sequence rather than individually.
 Give participants practice cases to work with an injury by developing a sequence of techniques to
ensure the appropriate muscles are addressed in an orderly fashion.
 Include Functional Soft Tissue Release (FSTR), aimed towards helping patients/clients safely return to
work/sport or leisure activities. These techniques include functional movements that are common in
sport, work and leisure activities. This unique concept focuses on applying pressure during the eccentric
load on the muscle. Movements such as squats, lunges, dead lifts, push-ups, lat pull downs, seated rows
will be examined in the workshop.
 Provide an opportunity for participants to discuss any challenges, successes or findings that they have
experienced in their practice, with the instructor and fellow workshop attendees.
Participant/Instructor ratio:
Participant/instructor ratio will be smaller to ensure more one on one opportunity with the instructor.
Manual
The STR manual has been completely revised. All photos have been updated and many new techniques have
been added. The Advanced workshop will include the new manual, plus even more material to reflect the
additional topics covered in this workshop.
