Traveling to Lubbock?
Airport: Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport
Accommodations: Hotels or Airbnb Simply search for “Accommodations near Hub City Rossiter. You can also search for Hotels/Airbnb near the office. 7606 University Ave Lubbock, TX 79423.
Dining: Lubbock has nearly 360 restaurants- local mom/pop shops to bigger chains
Transportation: Rental cars at the airport or Uber. The city is small less than 300k people make up Lubbock. While public transit is available it is a little limited IMO depending on where you stay. Uber/Lyft or Rental car is your better option unless you find an Airbnb in walking distance. Truly, once inside the loop, (in the city) you can get anywhere in 10 -12 minutes!
Climate: Depends on the time of year. Generally warm, not much snow but bring layers for comfort. The springtime gets a tad windier. Drier climate.
Any prerequisites?
Yes, you must be able to physically get up and down off of the floor without assistance. Knowledge of the body is helpful but not required.
Can I take the classes back to back?
Yes, but….
I highly recommend taking levels 1 and 2 back to back. There is a foundation and understanding of the system comes only with practice.
This does not mean you have to have a business. But Levels 1 and 2 are the foundation of the system. There is a level of understanding that builds a foundation for safety, communication and appropriate application of the techniques. In my experience taking 1 and 2 back to back gives you a better understanding of the system than taking 1 by itself.
Levels 3 and 4 can be taken back to back with a good proficiency and understanding of the foundation of the system. However, it is recommended to space them out to fully integrate what you have learned.
Do I have to build a business?
Not at all.
Imagine taking the course with a friend, spouse or teammate. You can provide relief to one another to extend training life, athletic events, a child’s sports career and more. Sessions with one another are less than your deductible.
I already have a stretching program. Why would I use The Rossiter System of Stretches instead?
Most stretching programs focus solely on muscles and muscle groups. The Rossiter Stretching goes a level deeper by lengthening and loosening the body’s connective tissue – the fascia, tendons and ligaments that surround muscles, give them shape and flexibility, and connect them to other muscles and bones. Strong, well-developed muscles are important , but those muscles have to move well to function and perform optimally. Rossiter Stretching, in effect, loosens the entire outside support structure for the muscles, giving them an extra layer of looseness, range of motion and injury prevention.
