Stretching Modalities

    Every Technique to Unlock Your Body

    We draw on a full toolbox of evidence-based stretching methods — and match the right blend to your body, goals and comfort.

    PNF Stretching
    Best for

    Rapid flexibility gains, rehab, athletes

    Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

    PNF Stretching

    A therapist-assisted contract-relax method that uses your own muscle reflexes to unlock dramatic, fast gains in range of motion. You gently contract a muscle against resistance, then relax into a deeper stretch.

    • Fastest ROM improvements
    • Resets muscle tension
    • Highly effective with a specialist

    Active Isolated Stretching
    Best for

    Daily flexibility, circulation, recovery

    AIS — 2-Second Hold Method

    Active Isolated Stretching

    Short, repeated two-second holds isolate a single muscle while its opposite muscle works. This protects against the stretch reflex and floods tissues with fresh, oxygenated blood.

    • Avoids the stretch reflex
    • Boosts circulation
    • Gentle yet effective

    Static Stretching
    Best for

    Cool-downs, relaxation, baseline flexibility

    Sustained-Hold Flexibility

    Static Stretching

    The classic method — a stretch held for 20 to 60 seconds at a comfortable end-range. Ideal after activity to lengthen muscles, calm the nervous system and build lasting flexibility.

    • Builds long-term length
    • Deeply relaxing
    • Great for cool-downs

    Dynamic Stretching
    Best for

    Warm-ups, sport prep, mobility

    Movement-Based Mobility

    Dynamic Stretching

    Controlled, active movements that take joints through their full range. Perfect as a warm-up, dynamic stretching raises body temperature and primes muscles for performance.

    • Ideal pre-workout
    • Improves coordination
    • Activates the whole body

    Myofascial Release
    Best for

    Chronic tightness, knots, pain relief

    Fascial Restriction Release

    Myofascial Release

    Targeted pressure and sustained stretch release the fascia — the connective tissue wrapping your muscles. Freeing fascial restrictions restores smooth, pain-free movement.

    • Releases stubborn knots
    • Eases chronic pain
    • Restores tissue glide

    Assisted Passive Stretching
    Best for

    Everyone — total relaxation & depth

    Therapist-Guided Depth

    Assisted Passive Stretching

    You fully relax while your specialist moves you into and through each stretch — reaching depth, angles and positions impossible to achieve on your own. The signature of Stretchprotherapy.

    • Deeper than self-stretching
    • Completely relaxing
    • Precise & safe guidance
