Assisted Stretching
Assisted Stretching is a bodywork modality that allows a trained therapist to apply range-of-motion movements to the body on a massage table, with the spine in a safe and supported position.
The therapist is able to move the body into positions that break through hard fascia barriers that may have resulted from injury or a sedentary lifestyle, to gain flexibility and range of motion that would be impossible without expert intervention.
Stretch therapy allows a trained professional to identify each unique body’s limitations in a safe and relaxed position, and work on strengthening problem areas to ensure movement that happens off the table—be it yoga, running, walking or picking up a grandchild—can be done without causing further damage or pain.
