Stretching is an underutilized tool in massage therapy. It enhances flexibility, reduces muscle tension, and improves circulation, which means less discomfort and more freedom of movement. Regular stretching helps prevent injuries, boosts your posture, and even supports stress management. Stretching is the perfect way to keep your body in top shape.

Stretching should only be performed on a muscle that is warmed up. Stretch therapy sessions start with a combination of table warmer, heating pads, and massage to warm up the muscles followed by assisted stretching working within your comfort level. These sessions are performed over the clothes, and workout clothing that will allow for unrestricted movement is recommended.

Although stretch therapy sessions are a great way to improve mobility and muscle health, incorporating stretching into a general massage treatment is also a great option. Just mention at your appointment that you would like to include stretching.
