Assisted stretching is a personalized stretching technique where a trained specialist helps guide and deepen your stretches to enhance flexibility, improve range of motion, and reduce muscle tension. By working with a professional, you can achieve more effective and controlled stretches than doing it on your own.

Assisted stretching offers a wide range of benefits, including:

• Improved flexibility: Helps increase your muscle length and joint range of motion.

• Pain relief: Reduces muscle tightness and discomfort.

• Increased circulation: Promotes blood flow and oxygen to muscles, aiding in faster recovery.

• Enhanced performance: Improves mobility for better athletic performance and daily activities.

• Stress reduction: Eases muscle tension and promotes relaxation.

No! Assisted stretching is suitable for all levels of flexibility. Whether you're new to stretching or an experienced athlete, your specialist will tailor the session to your needs, ensuring it's effective and comfortable for you.

Stretching should never be painful. While you may feel a slight discomfort or tension during the stretch, it should always be within a comfortable range. Your practitioner will ensure that the stretch is deep enough to be effective but not painful.

The frequency of sessions depends on your personal goals and physical condition. For most people, 1-2 sessions per week can be highly beneficial. If you’re recovering from an injury or want to improve mobility quickly, more frequent sessions might be recommended. Your practitioner will help guide you on the best plan based on your needs.

• Muscle strains

• Chronic pain

• Lower back pain

• Tight hip flexors

  It’s a great way to support rehabilitation and prevent future injuries by keeping your muscles and joints mobile.

During your first session, your highly trained stretch therapist will perform an initial assessment to understand your flexibility, mobility, and any problem areas. Based on this, they will guide you through a series of stretches tailored to your needs. Sessions are typically 25-50 minutes long and include a series of dynamic and static stretches.

Results can vary, but many clients start noticing improvements in flexibility, range of motion, and pain relief within just a few sessions. For optimal results, regular sessions combined with self-care and lifestyle habits (like staying active and hydrated) will help you progress faster.
