Description

Should you stretch before exercise? How long should you hold a stretch? Does stretching prevent injury or soreness? Join physical therapist and retired Associate Professor from the Washington University Program in Physical Therapy, Suzy Cornbleet, PT, DPT, for an engaging and evidence-based look at flexibility and stretching. Learn the latest thinking on maintaining mobility, staying active, and stretching safely as you age. Leave with practical guidelines you can use right away.

An optional 30-minute hands-on lab will follow the presentation. During this time, Suzy will guide participants through the techniques discussed in class and provide individualized tips and feedback as time allows. Participants are encouraged to take part in this interactive session, but please note that if attendance is high, individual time with Suzy may be limited.
