Elevate Your Recovery at the Ultimate Recovery Suite
Curious how heat fits into the Stretch U ecosystem? At our CWE location, we’ve integrated Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna technology to complement your assisted stretching. Unlike traditional saunas that just heat the air, our infrared tech penetrates deep into your muscle tissue to accelerate healing from the inside out.
-
Accelerated Circulation: Intense heat promotes vasodilation, flooding your muscles with oxygen-rich blood to speed up recovery between sessions.
-
Deep Myofascial Release: Warming the body to its core makes your fascia more pliable, allowing our Stretch Techs to achieve deeper, more effective results during your 1-on-1 stretch.
-
Total Detoxification: Sweat out toxins and reduce cortisol levels in a private, serene environment designed for mental and physical clarity.
Why Add the Sauna to Your Routine?
Slash Recovery Time
Why wait days to feel better? Using the Infrared Sauna immediately after a workout or a stretch session stimulates circulation and flushes metabolic waste. It’s the fastest way to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and get you back to peak performance.
Deep Fascial Prep
The sauna isn't just about heat; it’s about preparation. Infrared waves penetrate deep into the tissue, warming the body from the inside out. This makes your fascia more pliable, allowing your Stretch Tech to achieve a deeper, more effective release during your 1-on-1 session.
Total Body Detox
Sweat with a purpose. Our full-spectrum sauna promotes intense detoxification and improves skin health while relaxing tight, overactive leg and glute muscles. This "passive recovery" builds the functional foundation your body needs to stay flexible and strong.
Chronic Pain Relief
If you’re dealing with joint stiffness or old injuries, heat is your best friend. Regular sauna sessions help desensitize pain receptors and increase joint mobility. It’s a safe, soothing way to manage inflammation and keep your body moving without the "grit."
Active Movement Meets Total Recovery
At Stretch U – CWE, we are revolutionizing your wellness routine by creating a high-performance loop between three essential disciplines:
-
Assisted Stretching (The Passive): Our expert Stretch Techs take over where your mat practice ends. We guide you into a deeper, targeted passive release, unlocking a range of motion you simply cannot achieve on your own.
-
The Recovery Suite (The Optimization): Only at our CWE location, complete your session with Contrast Therapy (Cold Plunge & Sauna) or Red Light Therapy. This final step flushes toxins and reduces inflammation, locking in the gains from your active and passive work.
The Result: When you combine all three, you don't just feel better—you move differently. You break through flexibility plateaus, recover faster from workouts, and achieve a state of total physical relaxation that lasts long after you leave the studio.
Sauna Sessions - Only At Stretch U - CWE
Whether you are an athlete seeking performance gains or simply need relief from daily aches, our compression services are designed for you. We are here to help you move better and recover faster.

I’ve been to Stretch U many times and been treated by many different employees. Whoever you get, they are all great at the stretches and personalizing them to your needs. Most of all, they are all friendly and professional Highly recommend! Won’t be going anywhere else.

I'm so glad I finally tried Stretch U! I am a professional Massage Therapist, plus I lift heavy weights with a trainer 2 hours a week. I have had trouble finding a massage therapist skilled and knowledgable enough to give me the deep work that I need. So I tried Stretch U, and it has been a great addition to my self care routine. Since I added stretching sessions I am less sore from my workouts and work, and I'm sleeping better!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Stretch U!!!! I’ve been getting stretched for about two months now and my flexibility is almost 100% restored!!! The stretch members know their stuff! Although, I’ve been partial to Cameron; I believe ALL of the stretch staff members are equally awesome!

Very fun environment. Friendly staff. I cannot tell you how much it helps physcially and mentally. It leaves your stress behind. Im also a golfer and it has helped tremendously wuth being more limber and has increased swing speed. Definitely give this a try.
Brent Rushing
The staff are very professional and excellent at what they do. Stretch U is much better than a sports massage or Physcial Therapy session. Stretch U heals the body better and helps those deteriorating joints. Kyle was our technician and does an excellent job healing our bodies! Try it, you'll appreciate it.

After having two stretch sessions with Jordan, I feel so much better. I was not sure what to expect as I had never been to a “stretch” session before. Jordan made me feel very welcome and comfortable. He is very professional. A great technique with much improvement after the very first stretch.
