What Are Stretching Sessions?

Assisted stretching is a 1‑on‑1 session where your provider helps move your joints and muscles through safe, targeted ranges you might not reach on your own. Sessions typically combine dynamic (movement‑based), static (hold) stretches, and when appropriate, gentle PNF techniques (contract‑relax) to improve flexibility and comfort. The goal is to ease stiffness, enhance range of motion, and support posture and recovery.

Minimally invasive: No needles or machines required—just guided movement on a padded table with careful cueing and breathwork.

How It Works

Consultation & Movement Check: We review your history, goals (desk tightness, sport recovery, general mobility), and perform simple mobility and posture screens to target priority areas.
Personalized Stretch Plan: Your provider selects techniques (dynamic, static, or contract‑relax), pacing, and order. We can focus full‑body or select regions (hips/hamstrings, back/shoulders, calves/ankles, etc.).
The Session (25–30 minutes): You’ll be positioned comfortably while we guide you through controlled ranges. Expect clear prompts for breathing and light muscle engagement. Extended sessions are available when more regions need attention.
Aftercare: Most people feel looser right away. Mild soreness—like after a new stretch—can occur for 24–48 hours. We’ll send simple at‑home stretches or posture tips to help results last.

What You’ll Feel & When (Typical Timeline)

Immediately: Easier movement, lightness, and improved comfort.
24–48 hours: Possible mild soreness; light movement and hydration help.
1–2 weeks: With consistent sessions and home drills, posture and mobility gains build. Ongoing maintenance is optional based on goals and job/sport demands.

Benefits of Stretching Sessions

Flexibility & range of motion: Regular stretching supports joint mobility for daily life, desk work, and training.
Posture support: Targeted stretches counter common patterns (rounded shoulders, tight hips) and pair well with ergonomic tweaks and strengthening.
Recovery & stress relief: Gentle, guided stretching may reduce muscle tension and support cooldowns after activity.

Stretching complements good sleep, nutrition, and exercise—you’ll get the best results when combined with strength and movement practice.

WHO IT'S FOR

Safety & Who Should Avoid or Consult First

Assisted stretching is safe for most people when guided by a trained provider.

Use caution / consult first if you have:

Acute strains/sprains, recent surgery, or unhealed injuries
Significant joint hypermobility or connective‑tissue disorders (we’ll use gentler ranges)
Osteoporosis or conditions where end‑range force is limited
Any neurologic symptoms (numbness/tingling) during stretch—tell us immediately

We’ll tailor intensity and technique to you and avoid painful ranges. Stretching should feel like tension, not pain.

FAQ

Any Concerns?

We'll put your mind at rest

Q: What types of stretching do you use?

A mix of dynamic (movement‑based), static (held), and gentle PNF (contract‑relax) methods—selected to match your goals and tolerance.

Q: Is assisted stretching a warm‑up or a cooldown?

We often use more dynamic work before activity and static holds after. If you come in “cold,” we’ll start with light movement first.

Q: How often should I book?

Depends on goals. Many do weekly for a few weeks, then shift to biweekly or monthly maintenance with brief daily home stretches.

Q: Will it hurt?

No—stretching should never be painful. Expect a gentle pulling sensation. Tell us right away if you feel sharp pain or numbness.

Q: Can stretching fix posture by itself?

Stretching helps, but pairing it with simple strengthening (core, upper back, hips) and desk ergonomics leads to the best results.
