In simple terms, assisted stretching is a technique where one person helps another person stretch. Assisted stretching uses specific techniques to increase mobility and flexibility of a muscle or group of muscles. A typical session will include an extensive assessment of an individual’s physical health. A specialist conducting a session will look at a person’s range of motion, flexibility, limitations, alignment, pain and discomfort levels. They will also take into account their client’s goals and develop a stretch program that will gradually help them reach those goals.

With the assistance of a stretch specialist, a client can go deeper into a stretch safely, effectively and without injury. These sessions are fully customizable and act as an enhancement to a client’s current wellness program. Clients who are stretched often experience improved posture, pain relief, a reduction in stress, rejuvenation and an overall feeling of well-being.
