FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I wear for a stretch?
Comfortable, loose fitting or stretchy clothing is perfect. No tight clothes such as jeans. No skirts or dresses, pants work best. You will remain fully clothed with your shoes off. No oil is used for stretching sessions.
How else do I prepare for a stretch?
Try to be ready 5 minutes early to fill out the client intake form and talk about the session with your therapist.
Try not to have a full stomach and do a small warm up first. Walking or other gentle motion for 5-10 minutes is enough.
Can you focus just on stretching my problem areas?
The body does a lot to compensate around and accommodate problem areas which is why we always recommend a full body assisted stretch. The ‘all of body’ relief that comes from this is what we prioritise delivering.
For tailored regular stretching of problem areas please feel free to discuss a treatment plan with your therapist.
I don't know if I should see a physio, osteo, massage or stretch therapist!
Stretch and Soothe always recommends you see a trained health professional for diagnosis and treatment of injuries.
Assisted stretch therapy is an adjunct therapy that promotes overall well being. Stretch therapy is designed for prevention and maintenance rather than being a reactive treatment to an ailment.
