Teacher Training Certification

Dynamic Stick Stretching

Taught by Arthur Faygenholtz, DC

Course Overview

This Teacher Training seminar has become a dream come true.  Over the past 30 years, I have developed, practiced, and taught Stick Stretching classes to my patients and community in Santa Cruz.  For the last 3 years I have been teaching license renewal seminars to Doctors of Chiropractic throughout California.

During this time, I have researched the use of sticks as a tangible guide for creative and dynamic warm ups, stretching and strengthening routines.  As a result, I have discovered a myriad of ways to improve range of motion, balance, coordination, and so much more, with greater ease, grace, and pleasure.

I will be teaching you these innovative and revolutionary concepts in the areas of self care through new movement skills of stretching with sticks, for optimal health and fitness.

I am happy to present my life work, and personal training protocols.  You will have this first time opportunity to learn how to generate excitement, passion, and humor when working out with Sticks or teaching Stick Stretching.

Here is just a portion of what you will learn: 

•    Physical conditioning routines for daily living that are safe, fun, and easy to learn and teach.
•    Step by step process for learning and teaching dynamic warm-ups and stretching exercises using Stick Technology for improving posture, balance, coordination, strength, and range of motion.
