STRETCHING TECHNIQUES ORIGINALLY were used as an aspect of Swedish Gymnastics, and were taught in conjunction with Swedish Massage.
These stretching techniques are applied to a person as a means of stretching tissues, ligaments, tendons and bones. These techniques have been part of the curriculum at the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics since 1974. As the years unfolded many new stretches were developed and assimilated into the base techniques. These techniques can now be done as a complete treatment or integrated with other bodywork modalities.

- Energy itself has intelligence which must have a direction of flow or a way to go, or it defeats itself in useless expenditure and destruction. Every energy block in mind, emotion and in matter is an obstacle which often necessitates eruptions of a volcanic type in nature, and as disease in man and beast or in vegetation. In such conditions the norm of the mental pattern of energy flow in form and use has been interrupted and must right itself. The wise man and physician looks for the cause and assists nature in balancing this directional energy circuit back to its norm---physically, mentally and emotionally.Dr. Randolph Stone
