Does your new year resolution include being a healthier you? Does this include starting a new health and wellness routine? Strength training? More cardio? Eating healthier? All of these are great, but make sure stretching is in the mix. It is great to be strong and to feel able, but we need to think about our flexibility as well.
Stretching is important to everybody in order to protect our mobility and lifestyles. Many people do not understand that stretching needs to happen on a regular basis and that it should happen daily.
What does stretching do exactly? It helps keep the muscles loose and flexible, helps keep you independent, and relieves stress within the body. It is important to stretch slowly and effectively, which is what we do and promote at Stretch Zone Longbow.
We offer a service called practitioner assisted stretching, where we do all the work and you reap all the benefits. We provide a comfortable table where you lay on your back and we manipulate your body through a series of stretches that target all your problem areas. We provide 30 minute and hour-long stretches.
If it is tough for you to get out of bed and get going with your day, due to feeling a tightness in the joints and muscles, or you’re a professional that sits behind a desk 40 hours a week, Stretch Zone is for you. We will help you promote a healthy lifestyle by providing you a great stretch therapy routine, stretching homework to do at home, and be your personal stretching cheerleader, keeping you accountable for stretching on your own.
Here at Stretch Zone, we have accredited neuromuscular behavioralists, or stretch practitioners, that use specific protocols to target problem areas and relieve tension. Within their session, they use equipment that helps position certain muscles to be stretched correctly without other muscular groups getting involved and compensating for the stretch.
The techniques at Stretch Zone eliminate the hassle and agitation one feels when stretching on their own. Stretching enlivens the body and releases endorphins by increasing blood flow. The health benefits that follow the physical routine of stretching here at Stretch Zone go beyond price.
During a session, the stretch practitioner determines a diagnosis of the members’ flexibility and mobility. Then the practitioner creates a short-term 12-week program that usually includes the client visiting anywhere from one to three times a week. Sessions range from $35 to $65 with the greater frequency plans being more inexpensive per session.
