Yes. The therapist adapts intensity and range to your comfort, guiding gentle, controlled stretches. Sessions focus on safe progress, breath, and alignment, making this service appropriate for most beginners and those with reduced flexibility when cleared by a healthcare provider.

By applying targeted passive and active-assisted techniques, therapists lengthen shortened muscles, reduce guarding, and improve circulation. Regular sessions can decrease persistent tension, enhance movement patterns, and complement rehab or massage treatments for longer-lasting relief.

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows full movement—shorts, leggings, or loose athletic wear. Avoid restrictive garments or heavy jewelry. You may be partially draped for modesty; communicate comfort preferences with your therapist before beginning.

Frequency depends on goals and condition; many clients benefit from weekly to biweekly sessions initially, then shift to maintenance every two to four weeks. Your therapist will recommend a personalized plan based on progress, activity level, and recovery needs.

You may feel mild, temporary soreness similar to post-exercise stretching. Therapists monitor intensity to minimize discomfort; report any sharp pain immediately. Hydration, light movement, and gentle self-stretches after the session help reduce soreness.

Certain conditions—recent fractures, unstable joints, severe osteoporosis, acute inflammation, or uncontrolled hypertension—may preclude assisted stretching. Always disclose medical history, surgeries, or medications. Therapists modify techniques or refer you to a physician when needed for safety.
