  • Utilize stretching techniques that address various parts of body in terms of improving specific functions; 
  • Combine PNF patterns and myofascial meridians in stretching to better integrate changes to functional movements;
  • Develop a set of different baselines and systems of measurement in order to track progress for functionality;
