Assisted Stretching

Service Description

Assisted stretching is a therapeutic technique in which a trained practitioner helps an individual perform stretching exercises to enhance flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce muscle tension. This method often involves the use of various tools or techniques to support the stretching process, allowing for deeper and more effective stretches than might be achievable independently. Benefits Increased Flexibility: Promotes greater flexibility by helping to elongate muscles and improve joint mobility. Enhanced Range of Motion: Supports improved range of motion in joints, beneficial for athletic performance and daily activities. Reduced Muscle Tension: Helps relieve tightness and tension in muscles, promoting relaxation and comfort. Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of injuries by preparing muscles and joints for physical activity. Improved Posture: Encourages better alignment and posture through targeted stretching of tight muscle groups. Enhanced Recovery: Aids in recovery from workouts or injuries by promoting blood flow and reducing soreness. Personalized Approach: Allows for tailored stretching routines based on individual needs and flexibility levels. How it works During an assisted stretching session, the practitioner guides the client through a series of stretches while providing support and resistance as needed. This may involve using techniques such as PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), where the practitioner helps the client contract and relax muscles during the stretch. Sessions can vary in length and are often customized to target specific areas of concern or improve overall flexibility.
