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.

- I have walked along a quiet shore with lots of seaweed floating out in the water. I have watched this seaweed moving in rhythmic patterns with the groundswell, with the tide. Some were spiraling in one direction and some were spiraling in the other. For a large pattern, see the hurricane, see the potency in the eye of the hurricane, not the destruction around the outside. See the stillness at the center and the spiral movement.Dr. William Garner Sutherland
