Back Pain Relief: How Assisted Stretching Can Help
Ever find yourself wincing in pain after hours in the car or hunched at your desk? You’re not alone—back pain affects millions of people and can seriously impact your quality of life.
Fortunately, there’s a solution that targets the root of the problem: Assisted Stretching. Let’s explore why this form of treatment may be best for you.
Understanding Back Pain
Anatomy of Motion does a great job illustrating one of the most common causes for lower back pain. Simply put, to move freely, we need to be able to rotate our bodies. Most of this rotation should come from the hips. When the hips stiffen, the body will compensate and rely on the lumbar region. Excessive movement at the lumbar region comes at the cost of decreased stabilization which often leads to pain.
How Assisted Stretching Helps With Back Pain
- We use a Myofascial Release technique to bring circulation and healing to the affected area.
- We decompress the spine by stretching key muscle groups that support the pelvis and proper posture. These include the hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, adductors, and more.
- We have you “push” against us to activate and strengthen your hips in these stretched positions. This will help to solidify this new range of motion and posture over time yielding lasting results.

Peter is amazing. I’ve been dealing with back pain even after my back surgery, but Peter has helped me relieve all my back issues and any other pain I’m dealing with. He’s very professional, and since I’ve been getting stretched, my pain has been subsiding. Everyone needs to do this to maintain a healthy functional lifestyle.

I’ve been in pain around my hips and low back for 3 yrs. This was EXACTLY what I needed. Pain is gone completely. Sometimes tight muscles are the key.

I visited Stretch U because my lower back was getting super tight even after minimal activity. The first time I went I could immediately feel a difference; now that I have been going for a month or so, my back and legs feel great during workouts. I highly recommend Stretch U for everyone.

Highly recommend Stretch U to any active person. I initially started to help a back injury, but now I go every week to keep my body pain-free.

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.

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.
