    As with any wellness service, the results depend on individual needs, health status, and consistency.

  • Assisted stretching is a one-on-one, hands-on session where a trained specialist gently guides your body through targeted, full-body stretches. During your 50-minute session, you’ll relax on a comfortable stretch bench while your specialist uses proven techniques — including traction, joint mobility work, and PNF — to safely increase flexibility, balance, and range of motion. Most clients leave feeling looser, lighter, and more at ease, with noticeable improvements in mobility and overall well-being.

  • Come dressed in comfortable clothing you can move in — similar to what you’d wear for a workout.

    If you prefer wearing shorts, please be mindful that some stretches involve leg movement. Biker shorts or fitted spandex shorts under looser shorts work best for comfort and coverage.

    Clean socks or bare feet are perfectly fine — whichever feels best for you.

  • Assisted stretching can be helpful for many people looking to improve how their body moves and feels. It may benefit those who:

    • Experience general muscle tightness or stiffness

    • Want to improve flexibility and range of motion

    • Sit for long periods or have physically demanding jobs

    • Are active or athletic and want to support recovery

    • Are looking to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation

    It can be a great complement to strength training, mobility work, and other wellness practices.

  • My priority is always to make sure your session is safe, comfortable, and effective for your body. It may not be suitable for individuals who have:

    • Have a recent injury, surgery, or ongoing pain

    • Experience joint hypermobility

    • Are dealing with inflammation, swelling, or infection

    • Have severe osteoporosis or other bone or joint concerns

    • Live with a neurological condition that affects movement or sensation

    • Have uncontrolled high blood pressure or certain heart or circulation issues

    • Are feeling unwell, have a fever, or experiencing vertigo

    • Are a child or adolescent whose body is still developing

    If any of these apply, it doesn’t always mean stretching is off-limits, it just means a few modifications or medical clearance may be needed first.

  • Before Your Session

    A little preparation helps you get the most benefit from your stretch:

    • Hydrate well throughout the day — staying hydrated supports muscle and joint function.

    • If you plan to work out, it’s best to do your exercise before your session, not after.

    • Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows full range of motion.

    • Communicate openly: Let your Stretch Specialist know about any injuries, pain, or medical conditions and how your body feels that day. Each session can be safely adjusted to your comfort level.

    Coming in relaxed and well-hydrated helps your muscles respond more effectively to stretching.

    After Your Session

    Your muscles may feel relaxed, lengthened, and temporarily less ready for intense activity. Support your recovery by:

    • Continuing to hydrate to aid circulation and tissue recovery.

    • Moving gently — light walking or mobility work helps maintain range of motion.

    • Avoiding high-intensity or heavy strength training right after, as muscles and tendons may be in a more relaxed state and temporarily less stable for maximal force output.

  • You may experience mild soreness after an assisted stretching session. This is simply your body’s natural way of adapting to new movement.

    If you do not feel any soreness that does not mean the stretch was not effective. Everyone’s body responds differently depending on things like hydration, movement habits, and what you’ve done that day.

    This mild, short-term soreness can happen as your muscles and connective tissues adjust to being lengthened and mobilized. It’s not harmful — just a sign that your body is responding and resetting.
