Stretch Session

What is a Stretch Session?

A stretch session is a 30 minute session where your clinician will move you through a series of hands-on stretches to increase your range of motion and reduce stress and strain on your body. They will utilize various stretching techniques including static, dynamic and contract/relax techniques to maximize your body’s ability to move through and hold a range of motion. Each session will start with a quick mobility assessment and discussion of your goals to assure your areas of limitation and restriction are the focus of each session.

Benefits of a Stretch Session:

• Improve Sports Performance – Prepare your muscles for activity and prevent future strains.
• Maintain Independence and Improve Functional Mobility –  Keep doing the things you love, whether that’s getting up from the floor after playing with your grandkids or running up and down the basketball court in a pick-up game with friends.
• Increase Your Range of Motion and Flexibility – Make everyday tasks easier and delay reduced mobility that can often come with aging.
• Reduce Musculoskeletal Pain and Encourage Proper Alignment – Stretch sessions can contribute to improved posture.
• Prevent Future Back Pain – Reduce your risk of muscle strain.
• Reduce Stress – Calm your mind and focus on releasing tension in tight muscles.
