The Worlds First Framework for Programming Mobility and Flexibility
Would you program a strength exercise and NEVER PROGRESS IT? This is exactly what is happening with mobility, and it doesn’t make sense…
In only 4 Weeks You will:
Gain Clarity
Bust the mobility and flexibility myths that are damaging the industry, as the program simply breaks down the science of what we really need to understand. It’s like having my 2 decades of experience uploaded to your brain.
You’ll understand why the industry is so confused about mobility and flexibility and be able to set your colleagues and clients straight. This is stuff even the apparent “experts” are getting wrong.
Get Results
Learn simple assessments for your clients and program to what they need
Have a strategy for how to use a wide range of mobility techniques-even the fancy ones that score likes on socials. Except you’ll know how they fit into a program and when they become useful to create results.
Build Your Business
Know exactly how to fit this into your business. Many courses show some great techniques but you finish under of how it makes a difference to you and your business. You’ll finish knowing what to do to make a real difference.
Have a framework you can plug into your business to get clients amazing results and generate referrals, word of mouth clients and create new opportunities.
Realistically you’ll already be well on the way after Week 1, and by the end of Week 2 you’ll already have a strategy for trying out your new wisdom on your clients.
What Graduates Are Saying
“I’ve been giving clients mobility exercises for years but never really had a strategy for it to make a difference for them. It’s become such a big part of my programming now that I’ve even put on a class at the gym which has been a massive hit, and I’m looking to expand this massively.“
— Daniel Gurnhill (Trainer)
“I've done a lot of courses over the years and this is one of the best I've done. I particularly liked that it is a framework approach.”
— Jim Armstrong (Owner Raw Combatives)
“ I’ve never seen or done anything like this before and a lot of my clients have begun using it with great results. There is a lot of great tools that aren’t touched on through uni or aren’t well known in the industry that you teach very well. I recommend this course “
— Daniel Deed (Exercise Physiologist)
“Before doing this course I thought I was pretty up to scratch with mobility. I'm blown away that I haven't learnt this stuff in any of the other courses I've done”
— Kirsty Daniels (PT)
The next evolution in mobility and flexibility
In the 80’s we had stretching in spandex.
The 90’s saw us leg swinging into dynamic stretching and the naughties set up PNF as the all the rage.
The decade just gone has set the world up for mobility and precarious toys and massage guns, but the industry is still stuck on isolating individual techniques and exercise with no way to progress anything, or ensuring the client can create change in their muscles or use it for performance or injury prevention.
This is the next evolution in mobility and flexibility training and in only 4 weeks you’ll be changing you clients lives, and your business, with the wisdom gained form the following modules.
The 8 Module online certification is broken into 3 parts
-
Modules 1 and 2 cover the what and why. We look at when and where to apply flexibility training and reasons you would include it in your programming.
Because just stretching for the sake of stretching just makes clients good at stretching.
And if you are a trainer or therapist that is interested in getting results for your clients (since you are reading this I’d say you are), then we want to know when to apply the teachings and why they work.
Highlights
-In only 20 minutes, you’ll understand the theory behind gaining flexibility, and keeping it, so you can explain it in simple terms
-Debunk myths and set colleagues and clients straight on where we have gone wrong with flexibility and mobility
-Finally understand how flexibility works and be able to answer your clients curly questions, just like an expert should
-
Modules 3-6 cover the 4 Phases of programming that make up the Stretch yourself Strong framework. This framework will allow you to plug in any of your favourite techniques or strategies that you may already be use into a progressive system that ensures results for clients, as well as learn a range of new techniques and methods.
Phase 1 will help you understand why stretching is a skill and how to coach it. You’ll understand how to coach a stretch simultaneously through 3 planes of motion and will develop a deeper understanding of functional anatomy.
Key adaptation-Stretch Tolerance
Phase 2 delves into showing clients how ti use their improved ROM so it makes a difference in the real world.
Key adaptation-motor control and continued neural adaptations
Phase 3 focuses on strength through ROM and laying the foundation for creating change at the muscle fibre level.
Key adaptation -structural change to the muscle, strength through ROM
Phase 4 Injury prevention and flexibility training is a controversial topic. In this module you’ll learn the keys that most programs are missing for injury prevention and also in improving performance.
Key adaptation-using ROM with power and velocity (the techniques you’ll learn in this are as god as plyometrics for improving athletic performance)
Highlights
-Creating lasting results for clients requires your programming results in structural change for clients, not just teaching them how to get good at stretching. In these modules you’ll learn how to be the person to make that happen
-You wouldn’t give someone a strength exercise to do forever. Learn the worlds only system to periodise mobility and flexibility to create lasting results and raving fans
-Understand how to create a unique progression using isometric exercises to gain strength, range of motion and even power.
-Show clients how to make their range of motion not only last, but to use it.
-Learn how the framework can be applied across a large range of techniques from bodyweight training to barbell
-Learn how to attract new clients and retain existing ones as you take them on a journey through the 4 phases
-Give clients those aha moments as they say things like “no-one ever told me this before!”
-
Most courses show you a bunch of cool stuff but you are left trying to figure out how it works for your business. In some cases it doesn’t!
In Part 3, and beyond, you will get insights into assessments and programming so you can make the framework fit with your clients unique needs and your own. Our relationship won’t be done until you are certain of how this will make a difference to you and your business.
Highlights
-Learn a simple set of assessments that are effective conversation starters for any client, from one-on-ones to group sessions. Learn how two expand those conversations for programming, and developing client relationships
-Get help understanding how the system applies to individual clients and troubleshoot any specific problems you may be having with clients

Meet Your Instructor
I can’t wait to guide you through the next 4 weeks of training.
I’ve spent 20 years confused by information on mobility and flexibility. From my early days as a Yoga Teacher, through to graduating top of class in my Masters of Exercise Physiology, I’ve always had more questions than answers.
Finally, I’m at a point in my career where I may have more answers than questions, and here I share them with you. I’ve shared my knowledge with world champions, military, olympians, and helped people get back to their best with this framework.
Now I am excited to share it with you.
Reach out if you have any questions. I’m a real person and care about everyone that extends their trust and time to share in what I offer here.

I’m a former rebel yoga teacher turned dogged Exercise Physiologist bent on creating change in an industry that desperately needs it. I’ve spent over 20 years involved in trying to figure out how to get people to move better. The first person I wanted to make move better was me, as I was tight and always injured, even though I trained hard and did what everyone told me to. Even the biggest guys at the gym.But I was still injured!
Yoga helped me feel less tight, but I was still injured.
As I became more known for helping other athletes work on their bodies through yoga, it became obvious that yoga alone couldn’t give the people that came to my classes what they wanted. So hitting the books, and becoming an in-demand Exercise Physiologist initially gave me more questions than answers, but I’m finally at the point where I have more answers than questions, at least when it comes to mobility and flexibility.
Yet that certainly isn’t the same across the industry.
Confusion, broscience, sticking to beliefs with no apparent rhyme or reason, is harming the growth of the industry, in nearly all areas of training. While I plant my flag on creating change in the are of mobility and flexibility, my clinical practice sees me constantly step outside what has become a not-good-enough box, to help my clients and patients improve performance and solve pain.
Why should you listen to me?
Experience is great as it means you’ve come across a lot of different things, and hopefully tried to do a lot of dumb stuff. Though accruing years in an industry aren’t enough alone to mean you should had someone your cash, what someone has done along the way, and where they have ended up, might help you decide on who to trust.
I’ve trained World Champions across a wide range of sports, even when they had team provided coaches and had to pay me out of their own pocket. I’ve helped Paralympians and taken on the role as Head coach of the Australian adaptive surf team. Weekend warriors, post surgery, chronic conditions and anyone who needs some insight to their bodies has seen me become a go-to referral for a range of doctors, surgeons and other coaches and trainers. In many cases I’ve been someone’s last hope at getting back to what they want to do. I’ve been part of rewriting training and assessment protocols for the Military, worked with the SAS and helped with product development with fitness industry products. I’ve appeared in a range of media from TV to the fitness mags you like. There’s more, and it’s all great, but the main thing is, I have set myself on a mission to help anyone avoid the blackhole of fitness industry myths, and I care about anyone who trusts me enough to be the person that steers them in the right direction. As an athlete I’v waded though the sewers of broscience come out clean and clear on what the industry needs to create change for effective trainers and fulfilled clients.
I understand what it’s like to be confused by the massive amount of misinformation out there-especially when it comes to mobility and flexibility.
Right now you have the chance to not only obtain true clarity on this subject, but to also establish yourself as an expert in the subject. Or , you could continue to google the answers to the questions clients are bringing you, or figuring out how to get the results they need..meanwhile, they are probably doing the same thing.
Even if doing this course attracts one more client, or even retains a client or 2 for a little longer as you take then through the 4 phases as they wonder what comes next, it will be worth it.
