HOW STRETCHME WORKS
ONE-ON-ONE STRETCHES
This session is a deep and extensive full body stretch that focuses on all major muscle groups and extremities. It’s great for improving your range of motion and flexibility, while also loosening tight muscles and easing stiff joints.
GROUP STRETCHES
During a group stretch, our Strectchologist will assist and guide you through a series of seated and standing stretches as well as how to work with stretching tools like stretch straps and foam rollers. It doesn’t matter what your flexibility level is – anyone looking to kickstart their flexibility journey is welcomed!
WHY WE GET STRETCHED
HOW STRETCHME WORKS
StretchMe provides one-on-one, customized assisted stretching sessions. The stretches are given on our custom designed benches by Stretchologists who will customize your stretch to your needs and talk you through your stretches. Our Stretchologists employ a “push & release” type of stretching (technically “proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching”, or PNF) where you will be resisting a bit at times during the stretch and then releasing, resulting in a more effective stretch.
This varies, but it is really up to you and your Flexologist. Based on your assessment, your Flexologist will work with you and recommend a stretch plan for you.
Just like any activity, consistency is key. We offer memberships to get stretched once or twice a week. Your Flexologist will talk to you about the best option for your needs.
Our Flexologists have a variety of backgrounds and are all certified and/or licensed in various bodyworking fields. We have massage therapists, yoga instructors, personal trainers, chiropractors, assistant physical therapists and more! They all complete an extensive training program that teaches them proper stretching techniques and how to work with clients of all body sizes and flexibility levels.
Don’t be. You will feel tension during your stretch, but not pain. Your Flexologist will be constantly checking in with you on your comfort level and will adjust the stretch to your comfort. As the stretches are given your Flexologist will ask you where you are on an intensity scale (your own scale) of 1-10. We shoot for about a 7 on most stretches; if it approaches being too intense, just tell the Flexologist that you are closing in on or at your limit. Some people like a more vigorous stretch, others less so; the stretch is in your control.
We prefer to not stretch anyone who is suffering from any sort of acute injury. You should definitely see a doctor or physical therapist and get clearance from them PRIOR to coming to StretchLab. We are NOT physical therapists. If, however, you suffer from chronic pain, discomfort or tightness, getting an assisted stretch is okay—as long as your doctor or physical therapist approves.
We take walk-ins and appointments. We recommend appointments, however, to guarantee a spot and the Flexologist of your choice.
You can wear whatever you will feel comfortable getting stretched in. People wear workout clothes, gym shorts, yoga gear, loose fitting shorts, T-shirts.
We do not offer services in private rooms. But you can certainly request a bench toward the back if you prefer.
There is no strict age limit. We welcome clients of all ages! However, a parent or guardian will have to sign our waiver for anyone under 18.
