About STAR Tech® Professional Advanced Training Workshops STAR Tech® Professional Advanced Training Workshops will teach Health Care and Sports Professionals how to use STAR Tech® with a client or with a patient. Advanced Training Workshops are offered to Massage Therapists, Body Workers and other Healing Professionals including Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Reflexologists, etc. STAR Tech® Workshops also provide valuable techniques that can be used by Athletes, Coaches and Fitness Trainers as well. Learning Soft Tissue Active Recovery Technique Treatments will take place in layers. First we will examine the muscle or muscle group that is being targeting for treatment. After a brief anatomy review and overview of the causes for soft tissue issues involving that muscle, you will learn self-stretches to address that muscle. These are stretches you will be able to continue to do yourself, and stretches that you will give as homework to your clients or patients. When the self-stretching technique for that muscle is learned and accomplished, we will move on to practicing assisted stretching for that muscle with a partner. Finally, we will add a STAR Tech Treatment to the mix. With this logical layered learning approach, you will leave the workshop with the knowledge to take your client out of pain as well as have stretches to give your client as homework that will support your work and quickly move healing forward. If you are now using Active Isolated Stretching in your practice, you are already using a very powerful technique. With STAR Tech®, you will learn how to make your AIS work ten times more powerful and accomplish better results in a fraction of the time you normally spend to get results. Recovery accomplished with STAR Tech® is quicker and are also longer-lasting. Some Professionals may be able to use STAR Tech® Treatment Workshops towards their Continuing Education Requirements. Please check with the Governing Body of your organization to insure that it will accept credits for STAR Tech® Workshops if that is your goal. For anyone taking an Advanced Professional Training Workshop, a working knowledge of muscles is a pre-requisite.

Workshop: Active Stretching
4 EveryBODY Deposit: A $40 Deposit is required to hold your place in the workshop(s) Please make check payable to Barry Bailey. Who Can Use This Training: Massage Therapists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Chiropractors, Bodyworkers, Fitness Trainers, Coaches, Serious Athletes, Dancers, Bodybuilders and anyone else who is interested in learning Active Stretching. About the Workshop: This workshop is for individuals who are seriously interested in gaining a thorough knowledge of Active Stretching. If you are already familiar with AS, this workshop will expand your knowledge and its use. If you are not already using it, Active Stretching can be a powerful addition to your current physical activities, or your treatment or coaching tool box. For Therapists and Bodyworkers, adding to the way you perform your job can change the way you use your body to work, and lessen your chance of suffering from overuse syndrome. Adding Active Stretching to your arsenal of treatments or coaching has the potential of keeping you and the people you work with, pain and injury-free. And it can prolong your own career.  About Active Stretching:
The Active Stretching being taught in this workshop is based on the
Active Stretching of Aaron Mattes. Active Stretching can not be learned
initially from a book. The subtleties of the experience are lost in
print. Active Stretching must be experienced. As with learning to ride a
bicycle, the only way to learn how to do it is to actually do it,
ideally with someone who can lead you intelligently and watchfully
through the various elements of the experience.Active Stretching is the foundation of the STAR Tech Healing that Barry offers in his massage practice and also teaches to other practitioners. STAR Tech is ten times more powerful than Active Stretching used alone. STAR Tech is ten times faster in terms of the healing changes it helps to achieve in soft tissue. 
Saturday, January 16, 2010 Self-Stretching 
Learn how Active Stretching works, and why Active Stretching works.
Learn the physiology and body mechanics responsible for Active Stretching, plus how and why the body
responds so quickly and thoroughly to it. Learn Active Stretches to use for
both muscle maintenance and muscle injury recovery. In this workshop, sufficient time will be given to each stretch to give the student a thorough understanding of what is being done, and why. This workshop will include an anatomy review and an explanation of the muscle(s) being targeted (relaxed and contracted) in each stretch. There is no time to do this properly in the regular Active Stretching Class. Demonstrations of each stretch will include detailed instructions for doing the stretch properly, as well as tips for doing the stretch better and more effectively in able to get the most benefit. The workshop will include stretches that are not in the Active Stretching class routine because of time limitations, and therefore are also not in the Active Stretching Class Handbook or on the class CD. 
For students who are familiar with the Active Stretching class routine,
this workshop will expand your knowledge and understanding of what
is being done and why. For students new to Active Stretching, this
workshop will methodically, and without rushing, introduce you to
stretches that address all of the major muscles and muscle groups that
are involved in virtually all sports, fitness routines and physical
activities.This is stretching that you can use yourself, as well as stretching that you can teach your patients, clients, students or friends. For Professionals, these stretches can be given as homework to help them continue and enhance any work you have done with them. The goal of this workshop will be for you to leave knowing not only how to do Active Stretches that address the muscles of the entire body, but also to know why you are doing them, and how Active Stretching works. It is intended that you will know and understand Active Stretching well enough at the end of the weekend, that you will be able to share it confidently in either a personal or professional environment. This is a hands-on participation workshop. Expect to work hard and learn a lot of useful stretches completely. This workshop will consist of approximately 60 percent lecture/demonstration and 40 percent hands-on practice. Everything done in this workshop will serve as the foundation for tomorrow's workshop. This workshop can be taken alone (Saturday only).
