Stretching Massage A gentle to moderate pressure massage that incorporates assisted stretching techniques aimed at elongating muscles, improving flexibility, and relieving muscle tightness. This massage provides a full-body stretch that enhances mobility and overall muscle health. Stress Relief Muscle Relaxation Improved Flexibility Enhanced Well-being Stretching Level Moderate Stretching A stretching massage designed to increase flexibility by stretching muscle groups with gentle, sustained pressure. Assisted stretching techniques are used to improve range of motion and muscle relaxation, promoting better posture and reducing muscle soreness. This massage is ideal for individuals looking to alleviate muscle stiffness or improve mobility after physical activities. Benefits Flexibility Enhancement: Regular stretching massage helps to elongate muscles, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness, making everyday movements smoother. Posture Improvement: By relieving tightness in muscle groups that affect posture, this massage can help realign the body and improve overall posture. Muscle Tension Relief: Stretching helps release built-up tension in the muscles, preventing injuries caused by tightness and overuse. Improved Circulation: By enhancing blood flow through stretching movements, this massage ensures that muscles receive a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients. Reduced Risk of Injury: The consistent stretching and lengthening of muscles can reduce the risk of injuries related to muscle tightness or stiffness. Joints Improvement: Regular stretching helps improve joint mobility, increases the range of motion, and maintains healthy joint function by reducing stiffness and promoting synovial fluid production. Techniques Assisted Stretching: Gentle manipulation and stretching of the muscles with assistance from the therapist to improve flexibility. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): A stretching method involving both muscle contraction and relaxation to achieve maximum stretch. Static, Dynamic & Isolated Stretching: Controlled, smooth movements through the full range of motion to prepare muscles and joints for activity. Recommended Frequency General Health & Flexibility: 3x per month (to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness) Gym and physical activity: 6x per month (to prevent injury, enhance performance, and recover from intense physical activities) Elastic Bands Elastic bands, also called resistance or therapy bands, are versatile tools used in stretching and physical therapy. Made from flexible, durable materials, they provide different levels of resistance, aiding in exercises and stretches. In therapy sessions, they assist in deepening stretches, improving mobility, and engaging muscles effectively. Assisted, Controlled and Safe Stretching Progressive Resistance Muscle Activation Joint Support Therapy Risks This therapy may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions: Burns or Healing Wounds (could cause irritation or delay healing) Fractures (pressure may worsen the injury) Osteoporosis (risk of fractures due to bone fragility) Recent Surgery (may interfere with the healing process) Muscle Injuries (could worsen strains or sprains) Joint Inflammation (may aggravate joint pain) Severe Circulatory Issues (stretching may lead to complications) Herniated Discs (may exacerbate nerve compression) Severe Arthritis (could increase pain and inflammation) Pregnancy (certain stretches may be unsafe depending on the stage of pregnancy)
