Lighter. Younger. Rejuvenated.
Stretching naturally produces a feeling of being lighter, taller and renews a youthful vibrance. Stretching provides an avenue to create space within our bodies and joints. During a session, individual muscles are isolated from the group to break up any adhesions or "glue" that has formed. Our lifestyles tend to be rather sedentary from sitting in the car, at the desk, watching television, etc. Proper targeted stretching can:
-
help relieve this tightness
-
improve posture
-
increase circulation
-
restore pain-free range of motion
Integrated Stretching Therapeutics
For thousands of years, stretching was practiced mainly by warriors before heading into battle. Today, research still supports it to be an effective modality to help improve range of motion and reduce risk of injury:​
-
Static Stretching (Fascial): Controlled hold at end the of range of the isolated muscle without pain. This type of stretching increases the flexibility of the muscle.
-
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): Technique that utilizes natural reflexes to allow an isolated muscle to contract, relax and stretch to their maximum capacity. These deep, intense stretches calm your muscles to improve flexibility and increase range of motion.
-
Active Isolated Stretching: Isolate the muscle to be stretched by actively contracting the opposite muscle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clients often wonder why they would need to book a Stretching & Flexibility appointment rather than just stretch at home.​​
-
The answer is really twofold. There are specific technical modalities to apply when feeling a muscle stretch that the majority of individuals do not understand without advanced anatomy & physiology education. Also, there simply are stretches you are not able to perform without two other hands providing the correct angle, pressure, and feedback.
What is the best choice of clothing when attending a Stretching Session?
-
These sessions are performed with the client fully clothed.​
-
Any type of clothing that is super comfortable, stretchy, and not bulky. The type of clothing you would wear to a yoga class or to workout at the gym would be great for your session.
