What is Assisted Stretching?
Assisted stretching is a passive stretch service where I will manipulate the body to perform the stretch for you. During the stretch, your focus will be on breathing and communication so that we can target the right areas together. Benefits of this type of stretching are similar to that of yoga or a self-stretching program, however we have the ability to be more thorough with targeting muscle groups that are specific to your goals to create proper balance and alignment within your body. With consistent work we can achieve better results for range of motion, flexibility, and mobility - helping you to reduce stress and feel more at ease in your body!
​
During your first appointment, we will discuss your activities of daily living (work, exercise, etc.), perform assessments to evaluate where the body needs assistance, and work through some of the stretches that best fit what we find. Wear something stretchy & comfortable, including socks!
Benefits of Assisted Stretch
Improved Flexibility
Passively stretching our muscles allows for greater range of motion and a deeper stretch. This happens because you don't have to engage the counter muscles to get the body into position. Breathe, relax, and let me do the hard part for you.
Reduced Stiffness
Stretching the muscles and fascia (which encases and connects muscles throughout the body) can alleviate tightness and discomfort. In consistent practices, it can assist with quieting chronic pain in the body as well.
Stress Relief
Any movement for the body is a healthy counter to daily stress - creating space in the body helps to create space in the mind. During your stretch we will also include mindfulness techniques to help you be more in tune with your mind-body connection.
