Stretch Zone does practitioner-assisted stretching to elevate your flexibility and range of motion safely and effectively.
While traditional stretching methods attempt to make you more “flexible,” we work to adjust the stretch reflex. This way, the Stretch Zone Method gradually increases your active range of motion.
Consider how a car seatbelt works. If pulled too quickly, the belt locks. If the belt is forced, you are just stretching the material itself, and that’s where injury happens. When a car seatbelt is pulled smoothly and controlled, the belt will fully extend. It’s the same with your body’s stretch reflex.
Feel Lighter & Younger
Thanks to the modern sedentary lifestyle, starting in their 30s, most people begin losing flexibility at an average rate of 1% a year. Strains and micro-stresses on your muscles compounded over time can glue them together. This “glue,” or scar tissue, tightens the surrounding tissue and restrains how you’re able to move. Over time, the snowballing loss of flexibility ages you. Stretch Zone’s isolation of individual muscles within a muscle group breaks up the glue, unwrapping the stranglehold on your posture and valuable energy. Proper stretching slows down the aging process. You can feel younger by improving posture, circulation, and increasing range of motion.
Relieve Stiffness & Soreness
Due to sedentary lifestyles and overworked, stressed muscles, people develop residual tension in resting muscle, or “tonus.” When you flex a muscle, you create excessive tonus in the muscle. A certain amount of resting muscle tonus is necessary to kee
