Stretch Therapy
Everyone can benefit from Stretch Therapy. Each therapy session is custom-made for each individual’s need. Some benefits of assisted stretch are:
Reducing stress levels by increasing serotonin levels
Increasing a sense of Well-being by releasing endorphins during and after the session
Easing muscle tension and tightness which helps to decrease pain and muscles stiffness
Improving range of motion (R.O.M.) and muscle tonus, thus improving overall quality of life
The technique of stretching performed is PNF-based. PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. It is a technique utilized to improve muscle elasticity through the use of resistance. PNF has been shown to have positive effects on passive AND active range of motions by combining a series of isometric and passive muscle positions.
Assisted stretching can also help muscles detox. It is important to hydrate before and after a session. This will also assist in the Endorphin release one experiences after an assisted PNF Stretch Session.
Session Length: 40-45 minutes
What else? Please bring socks with grippy soles (also known as Toe Sox or hospital socks). Wear gym clothing that does not restrict movement.
