Chris and Ann Frederick are founders of 'Frederick Stretch Therapy', a specialist combination of movement and manual therapy, which they have developed over many years through decades of hands-on experience, authoring books, providing relief and teaching thousands, as well as conducting their own research.   In this podcast we talk about nomenclatur in the fascia space - including the evolving definition of the word 'stretch' - and the need for integration between science, the arts, and spirituality to deepen our collective understanding and use of language, in its effort to describe the implicit nature and behaviour of the fascia matrix.  Chris and Ann also list their highlights from the recent International Fascia Research Conference (IFRC) in Montreal.https://www.stretchtowin.com/

Simon Thakur is based in New South Wales, Australia. Ancestral Movement is his project, his “big idea” that has come from more than twenty years of practice and research across a wide range of fields. He has studied the natural sciences since he was in high school and through university – covering the basics of physics and mathematics and going deeper into chemistry, biology, physiology and anatomy (including a year of weekly cadaver studies), exercise science, nutrition, biochemistry, molecular cell biology and molecular genetics, immunology, and neuroscience, as well as psychology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, history and religious studies. During all of this time he has also been learning and practicing predominantly Eastern traditions of martial arts and mind-body transformation. He was obsessed with Yoga and martial arts as a child and read everything he could find in the public library (back in Dunedin, New Zealand, where he grew up). He did some Judo as a kid, some boxing and kickboxing as a teenager, then went on a year-long student exchange to Thailand when he was 17, knowing only that he wanted to practice Muay Thai and learn about Buddhism and meditation. He ended up living with his Muay Thai teacher, and ordained as a monk during by the end of his time there at the age of 18, staying for a wonderful month at Wat Tong Pai near Chumphon in south Thailand, and a beautiful couple of weeks at Suan Mokh forest retreat centre near Surat Thani. He was introduced to Buddhism through the works of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, whose incredible 550 page translation and commentary on the Buddha's Anapanasati Sutta (discourse on mindfulness based in the in- and out-breaths) is still his most treasured meditation manual, which he returns to every year for further study. Since then he has studied Japanese Jujitsu, Capoeira, Chinese internal martial arts and Qigong, Yoga and Yoga therapy, Feldenkrais, Butoh, Contact Improvisation, Pilates, Kit Laughlin's Stretch Therapy and Monkey Gym, parkour, smatterings of Russian Systema and Mixed Martial Arts, and more recently Brazilian Jujitsu, freestyle wrestling, and Filipino Eskrima (also called Kali, or Arnis). He has lived for close to ten years in Asia – in Thailand, India, Japan, China and Taiwan – and six months in Brazil, studying and learning from the best people he could find, always trying to get as close as he could to the source of the arts and traditions that he found most interesting.

This short twenty-minute set of instructions is designed to get you meditating today. It is an excerpt from the full discussion at "Why your meditation practice is not working – Kit Laughlin with Yusef Smit‪h. In one sense, meditation is simple: gently hold your awareness on something you have decided will be your “meditation object”, and see what happens! If you notice yourself being distracted by a thought, gently bring your awareness back to the object. You will need to repeat this! Noticing a distraction and bringing the awareness back to your object IS meditation. Suitable objects are discussed in this brief introduction.

The hosts of the Range of Strength podcast, Lucas Aaron and Jeffrey Wolf, engage Olivia Allnutt in a long discussion on a great many topics, including the Stretch Therapy *approach* to stretching, why adult bodies are more resistant to becoming more flexible than children's, and how little most strength coaches know about flexibility training!

Yoga legend and Fast Twitch manager Carmel Taylor joined Kane and Hayesy live in the studio to discuss the benefits of stretch therapy.

Kit recently recorded a two-part interview with two young North American coaches whom Kit has never met, Lucas Aaron and Jeffrey Wolf, but who have been working with the Stretch Therapy material for the last six years or so. Jeffrey has perfect front splits; and Lucas has perfect side splits. Part one concerns Kit's personal journey through middle-distance running, Olympic lifting, dance school (the worst student!), and the two year period where he trained in a pro. boxing gym, and worked the door of a nightclub in King's Cross. Part two is more philosophical in nature.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go. Often times you know it’s coming or it’s necessary, but it doesn’t make the process any easier. We have no training in this, so the natural inclination is to hold on… personally,  professionally, spiritually, relationships, ideas, narratives, etc. We cling to what we think we need. Change is hard all the way around and to admit that something is no longer serving you- something that you love, have created, spent a lot of time on, are committed to, or is part of your identity, is WORK. We often get to a space where we can literally no longer bare the situation and come to a choice point. Ideally, you let go, have some time, and can positively reflect on a hard decision that was the right decision and realize how happy you are in moving on.  This process will continue throughout our lives no matter what and the sooner we can be aware of the need to let go in situations, the better. It’s a constant check in point on all things with ourselves. How is XYZ really serving me? If it’s not, we need to let go. On the cast fitness and wellness rock star, entrepreneur, leader, and longtime friend, Andria Bever, and I discuss scenarios in our worlds where it was HARD, but necessary to move on. Both of us are entrepreneurs, contractors, and creators- anyone in that space knows, things move fast and are constantly changing. Business plans change, people change, budgets change, lots of variables… but that’s also what makes it fun:). We dive into the personal and professional, but focus on businesses and situations that we have built from the ground up and at some point, had to let go and move forward. Like me, Andria is someone that bleeds the brand. There is no middle ground, we are either all in or all out… balance is also a learning process:). We are both a bit type A, so we’ll commit until it’s right... or until we make it right. Right? Naa, we have both acquired an awareness on when it’s time to LET GO. Hopefully this cast can somewhat streamline your process in moving on if that is a current space you are in or choice point you are at. Let our work, work for you!! Whatever you believe, you can rest assure that there is a larger order to things. Often times our hardest decisions are the ones that point us in the right direction. Trust yourself, your gut, and the good people around you and advise you accordingly. The next thing WILL serve you.   Highlights: Letting go. It’s in the stars. Larger order. Bleeding the brand. Creating, building, and establishing a brand, only to let it go. Choosing your own path, even when it’s not the popular choice. Trusting your young self and being aware of how what you should be doing (or what you love) shows up early in life… go back to that kiddo!! Breakdown, breakthrough. Evolution and revolution. The next big thing.   Andria Bever: My love for sports began at a young age, which allowed me to discover my calling early in life. I found a passion for wellness and discovered the value of taking care of our bodies in order to obtain peak performance.  My career began in 2001 as a Soft Tissue/Stretch Therapist at Exos (teamexos.com, formerly Athletes Performance) from 2004-2011. This setting taught me the value of Recovery for optimal on-field performance. My experience working with professional athletes gave me unique insights into helping the weekend warrior reach his/her potential.  This belief became one of the guiding principles of Denver Sports Recovery.  As Co-Founder of DSR my work extended far beyond the realm of Soft Tissue and Stretch Therapy. I tapped into my entrepreneurial spirit and ran all aspects of the business. I defined the brand and led the business culture by hiring like-minded professionals, created and implemented all Systems and Processes, managed vendor relationships and established strategic partnerships. @andriabever19  

Stretching is one of the critical pillars of healthy, yet it is often underused and misunderstood. In this podcast, I interview Douglas Ho, stretch therapist and business owner from Kinetic Stretch Hong Kong. Over the decade of being in business, he has an in-depth understanding of how stretching is critical to health and has helped many of his clients, which include top celebrities and tycoons. He tells his story about how he got into stretching, the benefits of stretching, and gave many pointers on how to improve one's health through stretching.

Today's guest, Carmel Taylor, is a yoga teacher and stretch therapist. From her years of experience, Carmel has a wealth of knowledge which she generously shares with us in this episode. Carmel took up yoga over 30 years ago when it was still considered a "hippie" thing to do, unlike today where it has become mainstream and features in one form or another in most gyms. What Carmel loves most about yoga is the mind-body-soul connection and how that contributes to overall wellbeing. She also enjoys bringing yoga to as many people as possible, including those who, for whatever reason, cannot get up and down off a mat; her chair yoga classes cater for those people.Stretch therapy is distinct from yoga although they can complement each other nicely. Carmel explains the concepts of stretch therapy and its numerous benefits such as reducing the risk of injury for athletes and loosening up tight muscles, like tight shoulders many of us have from sitting at desks for hours at a time.In or busy lives, most of us only breathe into the first third of our lungs forgoing the benefits of deep breathing which can help reduce stress and relax the mind. During the podcast, Carmel shares a couple of easy breathing exercises with us and I urge you to try them - it is remarkable how focussing on your breath for only a short moment can have a tangible impact on how you feel. We discuss how anyone can take little moments of their day to restore their energy be it by deep breathing or stretching or focussing on the moment.Carmel teaches both yoga and stretch classes at Fast Twitch: http://fasttwitch.com.auWe mention the 6 Week Challenge at Fast Twitch which started at the beginning of August. If you are interested in joining the next challenge, it will start around October 2019.

  Stretch Therapy (Part 2)   I hope you enjoyed last week's interview with Kit Laughlin talking about Stretch Therapy.  Here is Part 2 and he imparts just as much wisdom (if not more) than in the last video!   Health, happiness & abundance mt xx

Stretch Therapy (Part 1)   What is Stretch Therapy? How I discovered Stretch Therapy...I have been practicing yoga for over a decade.  Of course, my flexibility, range of movement and general health has improved over the years because of it.  I don't easily hurt myself when twisting or doing sudden movements because I'm flexible and supple.  In general, I easily go into certain postures like kneeling, squatting and sitting cross-legged on the floor.  Over the years though, certain parts of my body have been "stuck", no matter what I did.  I did emotional work on these areas through kinesiology, I practiced my yoga & stretched more often, but.....NOTHING!  It was as if, I had reached the limit to my mobility for these areas.  Except, I knew that was not correct & that I SHOULD be able to go further...I wanted the mobility I was entitled to dammit!!  So as usual, I was on a mission to 'fix' this! I had a vision that what these areas in my body needed, was to be massaged whilst I was in a particular pose, so that there was a "release" which would allow me to go further into the stretch.  I came across Stretch Therapy quite unexpectedly (watch the video to hear the story) and it kind of does that.  Not exactly as I had envisioned, but in essence, there are some special techniques that Stretch Therapy utilises, to get your body to release further into a particular pose. Kit Laughlin, the creator of Stretch Therapy gives this explanation on his website about what it is, "...a comprehensive system that includes stretching, fascial remodelling, strengthening, neural re-patterning, and relaxation. The goals are grace and ease, and this is experienced as enhanced awareness and elegance in movement". One of the techniques they use is the 'contract and release' method.  What you do is, go into a particular stretch/pose, then you do an opposing contraction (you can get a better understanding of what this means in Kit's videos and books) then, once you hold that contraction for some time, say 10 seconds, you release the contraction which will enable you to go further into the original stretch/pose you attempted.  It really is amazing because you see the results immediately & it's so simple to do and you feel really loose & free afterwards. I have been going to the Sydney Stretch Therapy studio for the past 18 months and it has helped me in a number of different ways: more awareness throughout my whole body improved flexibility reduced tension in my neck & shoulders, which has helped with reducing my migraines improved stability getting closer to my goal of doing the splits (both side & front!) Kit shares a lot of his stories in this interview which will be in 2 parts over the next two weeks - Part 1 is below.  I highly recommend you listen, as he is very knowledgeable & wise! I also suggest that you look into Stretch Therapy to enhance any of your current stretching practices (eg, yoga or pilates) or if you don't have one, then this is a great place to start!  The great thing is, If you can't make it to a studio, then Kit has many videos on youtube (free) & vimeo (small fee) to follow along with, that will make you feel amazing and see results in your body, in a short period of time - the perfect practice for living limitlessly. Looking forward to your feedback on how you go with Stretch Therapy! Hack yourself to health, happiness & abundance mt xx

Justin Goodhart and Sean Mapoles interview Kit Laughlin. Kit compares his fascial structure to Dave Wardman's, showing how much natural variation these is in the population with respect to this little-understood tissue, and its influence on one's natural (untrained) flexibility, and how the future might play out as a result. Kit speaks about “specialised generalisation”—the state of being able to do anything you want, activity-wise, but not be the best, or even superior at anything. He calls this “plasticity” and argues that it's a valuable quality, and contrasts it with specialisation. Kit discusses the origin of the Stretch Therapy method, and how he discovered (actually, re-discovered, he learned much later!) one of the core techniques for adults to use to remake their flexibility patterns. He described how he used this technique on all of Mr Iyengar's basic Yoga poses while he lived in Japan, coming up with what he calls “functional units of flexibility” which can be used to build up larger, then whole-body flexibility. He found that the removal of restrictions was fundamental. He expands the discussion to consider the personal evolution of an example child, and how choices made in the period between 5 and 10 years have significant effects later, and how these choices will drive that individual's personal adaptation. He ties this to how an adult can try different challenges to determine what he or she needs to do to be able to better meet these challenges in the future. This becomes the new adaptation, and it will be goal oriented. Kit discusses the helplessness of a baby (compared to a newly born foal) and the consequently huge number of options for how that child may develop that exist as a result. In acquiring new ranges of movement, the “elephant in the room” is fear, Kit claims. This internal reaction is what stops you going deeper in a stretch, and Kit discusses how this can be worked with, and overcome. Kit talks about how the potential for adaptation into new skills is hugely larger than the individual can envisage when he of she is contemplating something new.
