30 Minute Sessions
STRETCH THERAPY
As we age, muscle length shortens and the elasticity of our muscles decreases. Sitting for long periods of time or having a sedentary lifestyle are key factors in accelerating this problem.
Stress can shorten muscles and improper load imbalances (carrying a pocket book or wallet in your back pocket) can cause all sorts of flexibility issues. It's never too late to start a stretching program and get great results. To gain maximum results from a stretching program, stretch at least three times per week for all muscle groups and problem areas. Start slow and work your way up through a steady progression model coupled with strength training.
WHAT IS STRETCH THERAPY
"STRETCH THERAPY", is a physical therapy based approach to flexibility training. These relaxing sessions will help educate clients to the benefits of stretching, the real science behind it and a practical hands-on segment from trainer to client. Our stretch service involves a cyclical approach to stretching with a dynamic warm-up to passive stretching. This approach will help you achieve maximum range of motion while increasing strength and power loads in your daily activities.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN EACH SESSION
It is required that clients arrive 5-10 minutes early to warm up the body. Once the body is warmed up, the client will lie down on the treatment tables, relax and be passively stretched by one of our stretching specialist. Each body part is worked in progression including: hamstrings, hip flexors, lower back, latissimus doors, triceps, upper/middle back, IT bands, pectorals major and minor, trapezius, rhomboids, piriformis, gluteus maximus/medius and your erector spinae. All stretches are done passively (specialist stretching you to your stretch reflex or limit) with pre-cautions set for injury or post-surgery.
The conclusion of the session is done with vibration therapy over the entire body for increased blood flow and relaxation.
