Flexibility - passive range of motion of given joint and surrounding soft tissue structures

range by external force (gravity, partner, stretch strap)

example #1 - Splits: Laying on your back (supine position), a Movement Coach assists by guiding your leg into a deeper hamstring stretch.

example #2 - Golf Swing: Performing a supine spinal twist, allowing gravity to facilitate a greater stretch (sinking deeper into a twist).

Mobility - active range of motion and neurological control of given joint and surrounding soft tissues structures

control by internal force (neuromuscular system)

example #1 - Splits: Executing a controlled high kick through full range.

example #2 - Golf Swing: Performing a golf swing with optimal joint mobility and range of motion.

Myofascia is the connection between the muscles and fascia—a web of tissue that supports, stabilizes, and links your entire body together.

Different tissues need different stretch techniques:

Muscles (myo): best stretched with PNF (contract–relax) methods

Fascia: responds to slow, long-held stretches

Myofascial stretching targets both the muscles and fascia to release tension, improve flexibility, and restore balance throughout the body. By combining different techniques and following the body’s myofascial lines—the pathways that connect muscles and fascia—it offers a more specialized, streamlined, and effective way to enhance movement and overall well-being.

Combined Benefits

• Improves movement efficiency and overall performance

• Reduces stiffness and pain for smoother motion

• Supports joint and tissue health for long-term function

• Enhances posture, balance, and body alignment

Mobility

• Improves joint stability and control

• Enhances coordination and functional strength

• Supports injury prevention and longevity

• Optimizes athletic performance

Myofascial Stretching

• Increases flexibility and range of motion

• Releases tension in muscles and fascia

• Boosts circulation and tissue recovery

• Prevents chronic tightness and imbalance

Mind & Body Benefits

• Promotes relaxation and recovery

• Strengthens mind-body awareness

• Improves daily movement and healthy aging

• Encourages deeper, more restful sleep

Sessions are fully clothed and interactive — this is not a massage.

Most of your session is spent relaxing as your Movement Coach performs hands-on stretching. Around five minutes are dedicated to active mobility work, helping you build control and maintain your new range of motion.

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.

Hands-on 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

• Pregnant or recently post partum

• 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.

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

• Communicate openly: Let your Movement Coach 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 your assisted stretching session — this is a normal response as your muscles and fascia adapt to new ranges of motion. Everyone’s body responds differently based on factors like hydration, movement habits, and daily activity. If you don’t feel sore, that doesn’t mean the stretch wasn’t effective — it simply means your body adapted smoothly. Mild soreness is temporary and part of the natural process of improving flexibility and mobility. Any mild tightness should ease within a day or two, but if you have questions, feel free to check in.

I’ve worked with diverse range of clients, from those seeking improved mobility and overall wellness to individuals managing specific physical challenges.

My clients include:

• Desk workers and busy professionals who sit or travel frequently

• Retirees and active older adults maintaining strength and independence

• Athletes and recreational movers such as golfers and pickleball players

• Individuals from both sedentary and highly active lifestyles

Specialized Experience

I have also had the privilege of supporting clients managing a variety of health conditions — with medical clearance and an emphasis on safe, complementary wellness care that focuses on the whole body, not diagnosis or treatment.

These include, but are not limited to:

• Neurological and chronic conditions: Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and dementia

• Pregnancy and postpartum support

• Post-surgical recovery (after completing physical therapy), including:

  • Total knee or hip replacement (TKR/THR)

  • Rotator cuff repair

  • Spinal fusions

  • Cancer-related muscle removal or breast reconstruction

• Chronic and mobility-related concerns:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tennis elbow

  • Frozen shoulder (thawing phase)

  • Arthritis

  • Carpal tunnel

• Other physical considerations: hearing and vision impairments, and paraplegia

By blending active movement (mobility) with passive stretching (flexibility), we retrain your body to move with greater control, coordination, and lasting range of motion

By combining different stretching techniques for the muscles (PNF) and fascia (long holds), and by working along the body’s myofascial lines, we enhance the way your entire body moves. This approach builds balance, strength, and smoother, more efficient movement.

You’ll feel the benefits in every aspect of your performance—whether it’s generating a stronger, more controlled golf swing, moving through exercises with full range and stability, or simply moving through your day with greater ease and confidence.
