What is Assisted Stretch Therapy?

Assisted stretch therapy is a type of recovery service that involves the use of a therapist to help you stretch your muscles. It can be used to improve flexibility, reduce soreness and improve range of motion. Assisted stretch therapy can be used to assist with a variety of conditions, including back stiffness, neck stiffness, shoulder stiffness, and more. It is also used as part of an overall fitness program to help improve overall recovery.

Benefits of Assisted Stretch Therapy

Assisted stretch therapy has many benefits for both athletes and non-athletes alike. It can help improve flexibility and range of motion in the joints and muscles, reduce soreness associated with acute or chronic conditions, improve posture, and even reduce stress levels. Additionally, assisted stretch therapy can help performance via the body's ability to move through its full range of motion without strain or discomfort. This can be especially beneficial for athletes who need to perform at their best in order to stay competitive.

How Does Assisted Stretch Therapy Work?

Assisted stretching works by using a therapist or other trained professional to guide you through stretches that target specific areas of the body. The therapist will use their hands and other tools such as foam rollers or massage guns to apply pressure and provide assistance as you move through each stretch. This helps ensure that you are performing the stretches correctly and safely while also providing additional support if needed.

Types of Assisted Stretch Therapy

There are several different types of assisted stretching that can be used depending on your individual needs. Static stretching involves holding a stretch for an extended period of time in order to increase flexibility in the muscles being stretched. Dynamic stretching involves actively moving through a range of motion while maintaining control over each movement in order to increase mobility and strength in the joints being stretched. Myofascial release is another type of assisted stretching that uses gentle pressure on specific points along the body’s myofascial tissue (connective tissue) in order to release tension and restore balance within the body’s systems.


No matter what type of assisted stretching you choose, it is important that you work with a qualified professional who is experienced in this type of therapy so that you get the most out of your sessions and experience all the benefits it has to offer!
