EXStretch
will provide the skater with all the desired body lines, in a
ballet-like spirit, in order that the skater reaches the necessary
easiness to execute wide-amplitude movements. Annick works
on the whole posterior muscle chain, with a focus on the hip joints,
to improve the understanding of the skater’s biomechanics. As a
result, the skater can execute
impressive leg lifts as never before.
BALLET
The
EXStretch technique
sums up 10 years of ballet training expertise. We aim at pursuing the
biomechanical re-education of your body. Get the most of your natural
range of movement, according to your own morphology. You can educate
your body lines, in a ballet-oriented spirit, to develop an improved
range of motion and execute wide-amplitude movements. Watching you
closely, Annick works on all the posterior muscle chain, releasing
the hip joint among others. Now that you have a clear understanding
of your own biomechanics, you are able to execute spectacular leg
lifts.
HOCKEY
Thanks
to the EXStretch technique, goal tenders will be able to completely
spread the legs, without the risk of injury, and develop an extensive
leg amplitude. This greater corporal ease allows goalies to show off
dynamic splits (Just like Van Damme, who is so strong yet highly
flexible). This is a must-have flexibility training routine!
The
other hockey players have not been overlooked! They can also develop
superior skating skills, thanks to greater leg ease of movement. They
can reach improved pike-position strength on their legs. Releasing
the hip joint will provide increased skating speed, strength and
agility.
DIVING | SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
EXStretch
will provide the swimmer with longer posterior muscle chains and very
smooth pike positions. Annick will offer numerous and varied
exercises aiming at modifying the pointed-foot line, while improving
flexibility in the shoulders and arms. This means serious focus on
the right leg and a comprehensive flexibility routine to be adopted
as regular training.
SPEED SKATING
EXStretch
improves leg flexibility, which allows for better articulator
amplitude and wider leg movement, releasing the hip joints, a pike
position amplitude (leaning forward on the legs), as well as a
clearer awareness of the foot flexion amplitude and gap.
MARTIAL ARTS
EXStretch
enables the athlete to better understand the required muscle
relaxation level to reach appropriate flexibility. The athlete is
able to create hip opening, to understand the direction of his legs
with strength and energy down to the tip of his toes. The proposed
exercises will allow for the stretching and lengthening of the back
of the knee, which in turn will make the legs longer. The pike
positions (nose on knees) will also be noticeably improved.
POLE DANCING
In
a ballet-oriented approach, EXStretch will allow for a re-education
of the desired body lines, and the flexibility required to execute
high-amplitude movements. Annick will work on the whole posterior
muscle chain, focusing on the hip joints, while improving the
understanding of the person’s biomechanics, so the dancer can
execute
eye-catching leg lifts.

fit, tennis, latin dances, yoga... or whether you just want to keep
your body in full motion!
