stretch therapy

Stretch therapy involves moving the body in a series of motions and positions that serves to elongate target musculature in order to attain maximum efficiency and functionality. It is applied by trained practitioner to reduce tension, improve muscle length, and increase range of motion. Recent studies have indicated that stretching can enhance athletic performance and reduce the probability of injury when applied appropriately.

TECHNIQUES & TOOLS

The human body is never uniform and often presents with different types of aches and pain. Our practitioners will use their expertise to apply the appropriate techniques and tools based on your body’s ailments. Below are some of the techniques and tools found in our virtual tool box. 

passive static stretching

Passive-static stretching is a slow-paced, assisted physical activity that involves passively placing the body part with gradual force in a position that elongates the muscle for a prolonged period of time (usually 10-30 seconds). The external force may be a practitioner, an accessory, or the force of gravity.(10)

pnf stretching

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, also known as pre-contraction stretching, involves the contraction of the muscle being stretched or its antagonist prior to assisted elongation. (5) (10) Types of PNF stretching may include contract relax (CR), hold relax (HR), and contract-relax agonist contract (CRAC). (10)

Cryotherapy refers to application of cold for the purpose of decreasing the cutaneous, intra-articular, and core temperature of soft tissue with the intention of improving the symptoms of certain conditions. These include decreasing edema, pain, muscle spasm, local blood flow, metabolism, and tissue extensibility.
