Safety Considerations
For Assisted Stretch Therapy

Please let your therapist know if you have any of the following conditions, so that safety modifications can be made:

​

• Neuropathy

• Recent injury or surgery in the last month

• Acute pain or inflammation

• Joint arthritis or hypermobility

• Osteoporosis, herniated discs or bony metastases

• Altered lymphatic drainage,

• History of radiation therapy

• Pregnancy

• Any other relevant condition

• If possible, do a quick warm up before your stretch.

• All effort will be made to ensure no stretch is uncomfortable. Communicate to your therapist any stretch that takes you beyond a 7/10 (an intense stretch but still bearable) 

• Some movement after a stretch is good, even just some light walking.

• Drink plenty of water afterwards!

​

• Individual responses to stretching vary, and your specific athletic and medical history may affect the result of a specific stretching method

• Our therapists are not qualified to recognize and address health-related causes for pain or stiffness.

• Stretch and Soothe does not claim to be a healing practice.

• If you have an acute (or old undiagnosed) musculoskeletal injury that has resulted in limited movement or ongoing discomfort, please see your doctor for treatment and advice, including about whether stretch therapy is right for you.
