Stretch Therapy

Stretch Therapy is a comprehensive system that focuses on increasing flexibility, reducing muscle tension, enhancing overall mobility, and decreasing pain.

 

It combines passive stretching, where someone assists you, with active stretching techniques to ensure a full range of motion.

 

By emphasizing both static and dynamic methods, Stretch Therapy seeks to provide a balanced approach to flexibility and strength.
