What is Stretch Therapy?
Do you want to optimize your fitness game? Wonder why top athletes and high functioning people choose to have a performance stretch coach? Are you struggling to incorporate stretching into your daily routine or not certain how to get the most out of your stretches - we got you covered!
Stretching is key to good physical health and stretch therapy is a non-invasive, painless way to tend to your muscles and increase physical fitness. We have over 700 muscles in our body and a simple movement, such as picking something up off the floor, can engage up to nineteen of them. It is crucial to stretch our bodies regularly to maintain good physical health and help you avoid tearing a muscle.
The goal of a stretch therapy session is to allow you to access full mobility while helping you to destress and relax. Your stretch therapist as they move your body into different postures with a focus on connective tissue. All that you must do during your session is relax, focus on deep breathing, and allow your therapist to move you through stretches that will increase your mobility. While you may perform stretches at the beginning or end of a workout, a stretch therapist can manipulate your body and stretch muscles in a way you may not consider when doing it yourself.
When you book an appointment with our stretch therapist, Sean Fernandez, you can lie back and relax while he does the hard work – allowing you to move and feel better.
