About Stretch Therapy
Stretch Therapy works with the fascial system to create more range of motion, reduce tension and stiffness, improve circulation, improve movement patterns and accelerate athletic performance. Using passive, active and dynamic stretching techniques this work is customizable for all bodies.
Stretch Therapy is gentle yet deep, and will leave you feeling longer, lighter and more spacious.Stretch Therapy works with the nervous system, helping you to relax and drop into a parasympathetic state which promotes healing at a cellular level.
Stretch Therapy is a powerful stand-alone modality of healing and also enhances other healing or manual therapy practices.
Our method of stretch therapy involves work on the table, on the floor and self-stretching.
