Assisted Stretching

A deeper stretch than you can get alone. Hands-on, guided stretching that reaches further than solo stretching ever does — good for athletes, desk workers and anyone feeling locked up.

What it is

What is Assisted Stretching?

Assisted stretching means a kinesiologist or trainer guides you through each stretch, using their hands to help you move further and more safely than you could working alone.

They read your body as you move, adjusting the angle and depth of each stretch to what you actually need that day.

You'll be guided through a series of stretches with hands-on assistance, breathing cues and steady pressure to help muscles release further than they would on their own.

Is it for you

How Do I Know If Assisted Stretching Is Right for Me?

It's a calm, controlled session — expect a deep stretch, not strain.

Good to know

Is Assisted Stretching Safe?

Is this suitable during pregnancy?
Often, yes — let your kinesiologist know so they can adjust positioning and intensity accordingly.
How is this different from a massage?
Massage works the soft tissue directly; assisted stretching moves your joints and muscles through range of motion with guided assistance.
