Assisted Stretch Therapy
Assisted stretch therapy is a one-on-one treatment where a skilled therapist gently guides and manipulates you into various stretches, ranging from light to deep, to enhance your muscular and functional well-being. During a 45-minute session, you lie on a comfortable table in a serene, softly lit environment, while the therapist delivers lasting, transformative healing. Dressed in light, comfortable clothing, you relax and enjoy the experience. Regular participants often notice significant improvements in both athletic performance and everyday life.
Stress Relief
Promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels through calming techniques and deep stretching in a tranquil setting. Your therapist will incorporate deep breathing exercises and gentle, soothing stretches that help activate the body’s relaxation response.
Enhanced Flexibility
Assisted stretching significantly improves flexibility by allowing a therapist to guide and deepen stretches beyond what you might achieve on your own. The therapist applies controlled pressure and support to help stretch specific muscles and muscle groups more effectively.
Pain Relief
Stretching helps release tight or knotted muscles, which alleviates localized pain and discomfort. Enhanced blood flow from stretching helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles and remove metabolic waste, promoting healing and reducing pain. By relieving muscle tension and improving alignment, stretching reduces pressure on nerves and also decrease nerve-related pain.
Injury Prevention
Helps maintain flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of injuries. Stretching helps maintain a balance between opposing muscle groups, reducing the risk of muscle imbalances which often leads to injuries.
Enhanced Athletic Performance
Looser muscles contribute to better movement mechanics and reduce the risk of muscle fatigue during physical activity. Enhanced muscle recovery from stretching helps athletes train harder and more frequently without the risk of overuse injuries.
Promotes Muscular Health
Stretching promotes muscular health by increasing muscle flexibility, enhancing blood circulation, and reducing muscle tension. It helps elongate muscle fibers, improving range of motion and muscle elasticity, while stimulating blood flow to deliver essential nutrients and remove waste products. This process alleviates tightness, balances muscle development, and supports optimal muscle function.
