1-on-1 stretching
Physical therapist-guided and assisted stretching allows the application of full range-of-motion movements to your body, while your spine is in a safe and supported position. Stretching is an integral part of keeping your body healthy, giving you improved range of motion and mobility and relieving stiff muscles and achy joints to reduce stress to the body and, in turn, decrease pain.
Additional benefits of stretching include:
* improves your performance in physical activity * decreases your risk of injury * increases muscle blood flow and increases nourishment
* removes waste in the muscle tissue thereby shortening recovery period * minimizes muscles tightness, allowing you to maintain proper posture
* decreases your risk for injury * prevents joint issues later in life
