Start Your Recovery
Curious how Red Light Therapy fits into the Stretch U ecosystem? We’ve made it easy to experience the cellular benefits of Photobiomodulation. Enhance your recovery in our Central West End studio with sessions designed to prime your body for—or repair it after—your assisted stretch.
-
Pre-Stretch Prep: Use Red Light to increase blood flow and warm up muscle tissue at a cellular level, making your "Stretch Tech" session even more effective.
-
Post-Stretch Recovery: Calm inflammation and accelerate tissue repair. The perfect 10-20 minute "zen" finish to lock in the mobility gains from your assisted stretch.
Why Add Red Light To Your Stretch Routine?
Cellular Energy Boost
The specific wavelengths of Red Light Therapy stimulate mitochondrial function, increasing ATP production. This "cellular fuel" ensures your muscles are primed and energized for a deeper, more productive session with your Stretch Tech.
Inflammation Reduction
Red Light is a powerhouse for calming systemic inflammation. By pairing RLT with assisted stretching, you address both the physical knots in your tissue and the underlying biological stress, leading to faster relief from chronic tightness.
Enhanced Blood Flow
RLT promotes vasodilation, bringing oxygen-rich blood to the surface of the skin and deep into muscle fibers. This increased circulation allows our Stretch Techs to work more efficiently, accessing deeper layers of fascia with less resistance.
Accelerated Recovery
Recover like a pro in the Central West End. Whether you’re training for a marathon or recovering from a long day at the office, the combination of light therapy and passive release flushes toxins and repairs tissue at a fraction of the normal speed.
Cellular Recovery Meets Targeted Tension Release
You already know the relief of our signature assisted stretching. Now, amplify those results with the regenerative power of Red Light Therapy. At Stretch U - CWE, we are revolutionizing your wellness routine by pairing these two essential recovery disciplines:
-
Red Light Therapy (The Cellular): Using specific wavelengths of light, we stimulate mitochondria to increase ATP production. This reduces inflammation and optimizes your body's ability to repair itself from the inside out.
-
Assisted Stretching (The Structural): Our expert Stretch Techs address the physical tension in your muscles and fascia. We guide you into a deeper, targeted passive release, unlocking a range of motion you simply cannot achieve on your own.
The Result: When you combine both, you don't just feel better—you perform better. By reducing systemic inflammation with Red Light before or after your stretch, you break through mobility plateaus, recover faster from the active St. Louis lifestyle, and achieve a state of total physical restoration.
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'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.
