Assisted Stretching

What is Assisted Stretching?

Assisted stretching is a guided approach where a certified stretch therapist helps move your body through specific stretches, targeting tight or restricted muscles. The technique used at StretchWELL is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), which alternates between gentle muscle contractions and stretches. This method encourages deeper flexibility by signaling the muscles to relax during stretching. Over time, assisted stretching can improve mobility, relieve stiffness, and support better muscle function especially in areas that tend to stay tight due to stress, injury, or prolonged sitting.

Why Choose Assisted Stretching?

In today’s world, many of us live highly sedentary lives often spending hours seated, hunched over phones or computers. Over time, this leads to poor posture, tight muscles, and limited mobility. Assisted stretch therapy helps address these imbalances by releasing chronically tight areas and restoring natural alignment. When muscles are tight, they can limit joint range of motion, reduce coordination, and contribute to aches or stiffness. Through guided stretching, the body regains proper muscle tone and flexibility, allowing for more comfortable, pain-free movement and improved overall function.
