Brook Seminars was founded by Marjorie Brook in 2007. Marjories experiences as a therapist, trainer & instructor contributed to the perspective that has allowed her to develop the STRAIT Method: a therapy that integrates scar-tissue work and therapeutic stretching with a fresh, whole-body-and-mind oriented approach. Marjorie offers invigorating seminars and lectures throughout the US, Canada and Europe. Marjories underlying approach to education and therapeutic care means her students leave with far more than innovative bodywork techniques. Marjorie understands that people learn and process information differently and tailors her presentations accordingly to reach across that spectrum. She is a big believer in humor and group participation and strives to teach in a way that immediately puts her listeners at ease and encourages everyone to feel accepted and included. As Marjorie must understand her students, she also emphasizes the importance of her students having a sound grasp of who their patients are beyond the therapy table in order to be truly successful.

Integrated Therapeutic Stretching (ITS)

An intricate, dynamic form of stretching based on the elemental actions of joints, ligaments, and muscles. The goal of Integrated Therapeutic Stretching (ITS) is to help the body become more efficient, thanks to an increased range of motion and the reeducation of muscles. Once the muscles and surrounding fascia have been released using ITS, the bodymind complex needs to be re-trained to function in its renewed state. Discover how to assist a patient in becoming aware of these changes to their body mechanics, and find out the myriad ways the changes will manifest in their daily activities. ITS seminars are available in multiple formats, from one to four day events worth 6-30 CEUs.
