Stretch Therapy
Kristin is a Certified Stretch Therapist
Stretching the muscles and fascia is so effective at relieving pain and increasing mobility, some swear it could replace a massage! Stretching the fascia is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, it addresses the body as a whole instead of targeting specific areas because fascia covers our entire body, muscles and organs.
Full Stretch Sessions
Benefits of Stretch Therapy:
-Frees up and improves the pliability in the fascia
-Achieve a quicker recovery from workouts
-Increase blood flow to muscles
-Increases range of motion
-Improves posture
-Decreases pain
-Decreases risk of injury
Stretch Therapy is a Floor Based Modality
Why on the floor you ask? Working on the floor allows the practitioner to gain more leverage and freedom in movement, which results in a deeper more effective stretch to muscles.
Will Stretch Therapy Hurt?
Stretching can be uncomfortable, depending upon the individuals level of flexibility. Our communication will be constant and I will never force a stretch or movement that is just not happening naturally. It is the responsibility of the stretch therapist to be present and listen to the body (not every stretch is for every body and movements can be modified accordingly).
What should I wear?
The client will be required to wear loose fitting clothes (no jeans), shoes will be removed (clean socks please).
How long is a Stretch Therapy Session?
The stretch therapy session lasts approximately one hour.
