Assisted Stretching for Peak Performace and Pain Releif
Assisted Stretching and Flexibility
Stretching regularly is good for your overall health, but assisted stretching is a way to take your stretching one step further through guided therapy. At Acupuncture Health Company we have been trained in two forms of therapudic streches to assist with your flexibility goals. We are trained in both proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation or PNF stretching and Active Isolation stretching. PNF stretching is a technique that involves both stretching and contracting a muscle group to increase flexibility and range of motion. PNF stretching can help improve mobility, injury recovery, and muscle elasticity. Active Isolated stretching is a method of muscle lengthening and fascial release involving the activation of opposite muscle groups to assist restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. Active Isolated Stretching re-eductases the mucles to return to natural length.
What is Assisted Stretching?
Assisted Stretching, or Partner Stretching, is stretching with the assistance of another person. Assisted stretching allows your body to move in ways that it is not able to when stretching alone.
Benefits of Assisted Stretching with a Trained Professional
Assisted stretching has many key benefits that differ from unassisted stretching. Assisted stretching, with the help of a skilled practitioner, allows you to address targeted areas and ensures you are getting the proper range of motion that your body needs. This is a wonderful way to improve joint health and flexibility. Scheduling an assisted stretch session, with a trained professional, allows you the opportunity to get a routine, targeted to your own unique needs. A stretch therapist will be able to assess your range of motion and then create a plan to help improve your overall well-being.
Daily stretching is always beneficial but assisted stretching is a directed approach to improving the overall health of your joints and muscles. At Acupuncture Health Company, we offer assisted stretching along with a range of other services to promote mobility and flxibility. Assisted Stretching is a good way to establish your health baseline and see how it can be improved.

Assisted stretching has the additional body-boosting benefits:
-
“Don’t put off to tomorrow what can benefit you today!” An assisted stretching session allows your muscles and body time to relax. When stretching unassisted we can tend to rush ourselves or put it off until tomorrow. Scheduling an assisted stretching session allows for a 30-minute window of time focused solely on what your body needs, without the outside influences of the world around you. Your stretch therapist will work with your muscles while letting you focus on time to breathe.
-
Stretching regularly helps with increased flexibility and assisted stretching can help target muscles for a deeper stretch to allow for even more range of motion. A skilled stretch therapist will be able to help you safely extend your muscles further than you would on your own, using trained techniques to reprogram the signals between your muscles and your brain. Partner stretching allows your therapist to isolate specific muscles by stabilizing different parts of your body.
-
How many times has your body screamed “ouch”? How often do you find yourself bending backward to try to relieve the tension in your back? Partner assisted stretching helps combat all the daily wear-and-tear we place on our muscles and joints. Even one assisted stretching session can leave your body feeling more limber by helping to loosen tight muscles. Your therapist can discuss your pain points and address those areas with specific stretching exercises to alleviate pain and stiffness.
