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.

- True health, like a gentle breeze or a honeybee, dusts and pollinates everything and everyone it touches. Healthy water, for example, demands that we safeguard the streams and rivers from which that water flows. Healthy, vibrant food requires healthy, uncontaminated soil. Proper oxygenation of the lungs demands not only long walks but also clean, unpolluted air. A peaceful social environment in which to raise healthy children requires good communication with other peoples of the world, a cultivation and appreciation of similarities and common interests.Svevo Brooks
