What Is Assisted Stretching?

Assisted stretching is a hands-on approach where a certified professional guides your body through targeted stretches that go beyond what you can achieve on your own. This method helps improve range of motion, release muscle tension, and correct muscular imbalances. Unlike static stretching, assisted stretching utilizes advanced techniques like Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), which enhances flexibility and neuromuscular coordination. By engaging both the muscles and the nervous system, this approach promotes long-term improvements in mobility and overall function.

Who Can Benefit from Assisted Stretching?

Assisted Therapeutic and Recovery Stretching is for everyone, regardless of fitness level or lifestyle. Here’s who can benefit the most:

• Athletes: Improve performance, prevent injuries, and enhance recovery post-training.
• Injury Recovery Patients: Regain mobility, reduce stiffness, and support rehabilitation.
• Active Individuals: Optimize movement patterns and prevent overuse injuries.
• Seniors: Maintain balance, flexibility, and independence as you age.
• Desk Workers: Counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting, like poor posture and tight muscles.

Why We Recommend an Assisted Stretching Program

The advantages of Assisted Therapeutic and Recovery Stretching go far beyond basic flexibility. This therapy enhances flexibility by improving joint range of motion and muscle elasticity while reducing muscle tension and soreness in overworked areas. It plays a crucial role in injury prevention by addressing muscular imbalances that could lead to injuries and supports faster healing after workouts or injuries. Assisted stretching also improves posture by counteracting the negative effects of daily stressors like sitting and repetitive movements.  Most importantly, every session is tailored to your specific needs and goals, ensuring personalized care.

What to Expect During a Session

Each assisted stretching session begins with a brief assessment to understand your goals and identify areas of tension or restriction. Our trained professionals then guide you through targeted stretches, focusing on your unique needs. To maximize the benefits, we may incorporate:

• Dynamic Stretching: Enhances functional movement and mobility.
• PNF Techniques: Boosts flexibility and neuromuscular coordination.
• Massage or Trigger Point Release: Relieves localized tension and improves circulation.
• Neubie Technology: Activates or relaxes specific muscles, enhancing stretch effectiveness.
• Percussion Therapy: Uses gentle vibrations to release tight muscles.
• Laser Therapy: Reduces pain and promotes muscle relaxation.

Sessions can focus on specific areas like the lower back, hamstrings, shoulders, or hips—tailored to your goals.

Assisted Stretching Techniques

Assisted stretching involves techniques like Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), which uses contracting and relaxing muscles to improve flexibility and strength. This technique activates the neuromuscular system, helping the body adapt to new ranges of motion. Additionally, integrating tools like Neubie Technology and Percussion Therapy enhances results by targeting specific muscles, improving blood flow, and reducing tension. These methods not only improve flexibility but also aid in pain relief and functional movement.
