Stretching regularly helps increase mobility and muscle flexibility, which promotes a healthy range of joint motion. If you aren’t flexible, your muscles can shorten and tighten. People who live sedentary lifestyles, have suffered from injuries, are aging, or are stressed can unlock a much healthier physical profile by stretching regularly.  

Assisted stretching involves a trained practitioner or therapist using various techniques to apply the kind of range-of-motion movements to your body that you couldn’t apply on your own.   

Stretching programs are tailored to an individual’s personal goals and usually entail 30-minute sessions on a weekly or monthly basis.  

We don’t all know how to stretch properly. Sometimes, we do further harm to our bodies by stretching incorrectly. Other times, we just don’t get the kind of deep stretch we can get with some assistance. Since stretching isn’t exactly the most fun form of physical activity, many people tend to skimp on it or do it inconsistently.
