What is Assisted Stretch and what will it do for me?
Assisted stretching helps your body relax and move more easily. It can improve how far your muscles and joints can stretch. We use two types of stretching—Static and PNF—to help you feel your best.
​
Static Stretching
Static stretching means holding a stretch for 10-60 seconds without moving. This helps your muscles loosen up and become more flexible. It is safer and more effective than bouncing stretches.
​
PNF Stretching
PNF stretching was first used by doctors to help people with muscle problems. It involves tensing and relaxing muscles with the help of a partner to improve flexibility.
​
Regular assisted stretching can:
-
Increase flexibility and range of motion
-
Reduce soreness and stiffness
-
Prevent injuries
-
Improve posture
-
Help you feel less stressed
-
Improve blood flow
​​
Perfect for athletes who need fast recovery of joint and muscle pain!
