What is Stick Stretching?
Stick Stretching is a low-impact, movement-based practice that focuses on improving flexibility, spinal alignment, and muscular balance. By incorporating a wooden stick as a guide, participants develop better posture, spinal awareness, and overall body coordination.
Benefits for Chiropractors:
-
Maintain and improve your own spinal health

Reduce fatigue and work-related strain
-

-
Add a safe, effective tool to your patient care repertoire
Our courses are based on Stick Yoga®, developed by Dr. Arthur Faygenholtz. Stick Yoga® emphasizes gentle, precise movements that support brain health, bilateral coordination, and musculoskeletal wellness. By adapting these principles for chiropractic practice, we provide a method that benefits both practitioners and their patients.
