Assisted Stretching
Assisted stretching is a passive technique where a therapist guides muscle extension to improve flexibility and reduce tension. It benefits clients with limited mobility or tightness, such as seniors or desk-bound professionals.
• A form of passive stretching where a trained professional helps extend your muscles to boost flexibility.
• Involves gentle pressure or support from the therapist to ease you into stretches and expand your range of motion.
• Improves flexibility, reduces muscle tension, and enhances overall mobility.
• Uses techniques that outperform solo stretching for deeper, more effective results.
• Rarely a standalone session—typically blended with other modalities to meet the session’s goals.
Assisted stretching is a passive stretching technique that relies on the guidance of a trained professional to extend your muscles and enhance flexibility. The therapist provides gentle pressure or support, allowing you to relax into each stretch while progressively expanding your range of motion. This method offers significant benefits, including improved flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and greater overall mobility. By employing specialized techniques, assisted stretching surpasses the effectiveness of solo stretching, delivering deeper results. While rarely the sole focus of a massage session, it is typically integrated with other modalities at Strategic Bodywork to align with the session’s specific objectives, amplifying its impact.
