How STRETCH Therapy Improves your Life
Improved Flexibility
STRETCH Therapy causes muscles to increase their flexibility by stimulating the receptors that tell your muscles to relax and contract. The stimulation of these receptors leads to the relaxation of your muscle fibers and overtime, permanent elongation the muscles.
Decreased Pain
Decreased flexibility can occur in muscles, joints and fascia and tightness in any of these causes problems in other areas. For example, restrictions in the posterior fascial line leads to pelvic alignment issues which will then place tension on the hamstrings leading to low back pain. STRETCH Therapy addresses each of these components thus decreasing pain.
Improved Sport Performance
The effects of muscle tension and restricted joint range of motion create imbalances that compound over time . These imbalances will affect your mobility and lead to poor movement quality, increased risk of injury and decreased sport performance. By addressing both flexibility and mobility, STRETCH Therapy combined with Myo-Fascial Release helps balance your body thus improving your sport performance.
Decreased Stress
STRETCH Therapy uses slow, deliberate movements, breathing and deep stretches to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system. This reduces the production of stress hormones like cortisol and encourages the release of endorphins, making it an excellent method for reducing stress and anxiety.
Improved Mobility
Mobility is the ability of your body to move actively through its ranges of motion. A large contributor to your mobility is the flexibility of your muscle, joints & fascia. Addressing these through STRETCH Therapy and therapeutic massage allows you to move as efficiently as possible resulting in improved performance and less risk of injury.
Increased Joint ROM
Joint range of motion (ROM) is the totality of movement a joint is capable of doing. STRETCH Therapy addresses layers deeper than just the muscles & fascia. It gets into the deep layers including the joint capsule, ligaments and tendons. STRETCHING these structures helps to maintain existing joint mobility, prevent adhesions, assist neuromuscular reeducation and enhance synovial movement; all of which improve joint health and ROM.
It’s never too late to begin your wellness journey. We are here to help.

The impact of viseral mobility on flexibility
Visceral manipulation and STRETCHING are an organ-specific treatment for scar tissue and fascial adhesions. It involves skilled hands-on techniques to release and STRETCH restrictions, adhesions and tension in the visceral connective tissues

STRETCH your spiral fascial line
The spiral fascial line starts at the intercostals and crosses the anterior hip of the opposite side before transgressing down the lateral leg. Restrictions in this line pull the shoulder toward the hip in a rotational movement causing multiple points of imbalance.

The link between the hamstrings and low back pain
Low back pain is extremely common, occurring in upwards of 80% of people at some point in their life. Hamstring “tightness” is often thought of as a contributing factor to LBP. This tightness is described as an inability to elongate a muscle or an actual shortening of the muscle. But in people with LBP, is this all that’s going on?
