How is this different from yoga or regular stretching?This program is different because we are using a little known stretching technique, Corrective Resistance Stretching that is backed by research in it’s effectiveness. Yoga and regular stretching is great and if it works for you, wonderful. This is a great complimentary program for it because we will be building strength while we stretch. We will also be looking at your lifestyle factors that may be contributing to stiffness, aches and pains. Corrective Resistance Stretching is a revolutionary technique which utilizes a person's own resistance for increasing lasting mobility. Corrective Resistance Stretching uses scientifically-backed methods to reduce injury, balance muscle groups and increase flexibility using concentric exercises for strengthening and eccentric movements for stretching. During Corrective Resistance Stretching, the muscles are being contracted and lengthened at the same time so the muscles are only taken as far as they can resist to keep stretching safe and effective. The basic concept of Corrective Resistance Stretching is that the muscles are strong throughout their ranges of motion. We've found that an "inflexible" muscle may actually be unable to stretch because of inactivated muscles, scar tissue or tightness elsewhere. The Corrective Resistance Stretching technique stresses the importance of working through these imbalances to release the muscles surrounding the problem area to allow for true flexibility and strength in full range surrounding the joints. Benefits of Corrective Resistance Stretching: -a scientifically-backed eccentric strength-training program -creates lasting gains in flexibility, strength and aerobic capacity -improves performance and recovery -creates more powerful, explosive, and core stable movements -realigns the body to improve posture -removes chronic joint stress, painful muscle tension and injuries -prevents injury from overstretching -targets specific areas of existing or potential injury

Can anyone do this program? What if I have a history of injuries or knee/hip/shoulder replacements?This program is generally safe for everyone, as I try to give as many alternative options as possible. But if you find it difficult to get up and down off the floor or are very de-conditioned, this program may be difficult for you. With my 7-day guarantee, you can try it without any hesitations. You will be guided to modify as needed based on your state of health.

Are there side effects to the program?Most likely you’ll feel muscle soreness. Corrective Resistance Stretching is an active form of stretching. You will be contracting your muscles as you stretch, potentially causing muscle soreness the next day. You may also feel some pain associated with the new alignment of your body. You'll have greater strength and better mobility.
-
When I join the Ultimate Stretch to Strength Program, will I be getting immediate access to all the lessons and modules?"Yes. You will have lifetime access after the program is complete, as long as the program is available.

Will Amy be available and accessible for any questions I have?Amy will be available to answer any questions via the private online group. For additional access to Amy, you can sign-up for one-on-one training.
