20 Minute Assisted Stretch

Effective Tension Relief

Our 20-minute session is specifically crafted to relieve tension throughout your entire body. Our certified stretch techs begin by assessing your individual needs, ensuring you receive a personalized experience in assisted stretch therapy. By focusing on both passive stretches for the upper body and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching for the lower body, this session targets common areas of tightness. As a result, you can expect a noticeable reduction in muscle tension, promoting enhanced relaxation and comfort.

Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion

One of the primary goals of this session is to improve your flexibility and range of motion through effective assisted stretching. Regular stretching can help elongate muscles, allowing for greater mobility during daily activities and exercise. Our expert stretching services not only enhance your physical performance but also contribute to injury prevention. With each session, you'll notice improvements that allow you to move more freely and confidently, benefiting both athletic endeavors and everyday tasks.

Relieve Nerve Pain

During the 20 Minute Stretch, we include nerve glide stretches specifically designed to relieve pain from compressed or irritated nerves. Some of our nerve stretches include the sciatic nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, and ulnar nerve. These are fantastic stretches for anyone dealing with sciatic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, or general symptoms associated with excessive sitting, typing, and texting.

Correct Muscular Imbalances

One of the largest contributors to chronic pain is poor posture caused by muscular imbalances. When one muscle becomes weak and another becomes tight, this can pull the joint out of its natural alignment and cause pain. During our 20 Minute Stretch, not only do we “stretch” the muscle, we help you activate and strengthen your muscles in these stretched positions which is fantastic for joint health and posture.

Convenient Option for Busy Lifestyles

The beauty of the 20 Minute Stretch is its convenience. Many of us lead hectic lives, making longer appointments seem daunting or unmanageable. With this brief session, you can integrate effective stretching into your daily routine without feeling overwhelmed. It's an excellent option for those who may not have the time for a full 40 or 60-Minute session, allowing you to prioritize self-care amid your busy schedule. Whether before or after work, you can quickly fit this stretch massage into your day.
