GET STRETCHED OUT - ASSISTED PASSIVE STRETCHING

---

Get stretched out, is a one-on-one assisted passive stretching session, facilitated by our wellness specialist. Our specialists will “stretch you out” by stretching various muscles groups such as your hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, chest, shoulders, arms, and lower back. Research shows that stretching improves mobility range of motion, reduce stiffness, muscular tension, and overall stress.

How to prepare for your session?

Dress comfortably. Wear tights, shorts or loose fitting pants. No skirts

At the beginning of your session our wellness specialist will instruct you to perform several dynamic stretches exercises on your own to warm up your muscles (i.e arm circles, leg raises, shoulder rolls). This will last for 1-2 minutes. They will also ask questions about muscle and joint pain and any diagnosed orthopedic issues.

Then they proceed with "stretching you out" 

You can request to focus on specific muscles/joints. 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Assisted Passive Stretching is NOT a medical service. 
• Assisted Passive Stretching is NOT not physical therapy or rehab. If you have any orthopedic problem (diagnosed or undiagnosed) Assisted Passive Stretching is not designed to replace physical therapy or any type of physical rehabilitative services. 
• Assisted Passive Stretching is NOT chiropractic services. Our wellness specialist will not "cracki" your back or "pop" any of your joints. While these reactions can happen with normal stretching that is not our intent and out of our scope of practice.

Assisted Passive Stretching DOES

• improve mobility
• range of motion, 
• reduce stiffness 
• reduce muscular tension and overall stress
• lower your risk of muscle and join injury
