Assisted stretching is a form of static stretching in which a ‘flexologist’ (professional assisted stretcher) exerts gentle force upon the limb to move it into a new position, holding it for a specific amount of time in order to lengthen and stretch the muscle fibre and tissue.
This helps to create alignment in the muscle and body and contributes to improving flexibility, increased muscle control and an expanded range of motion. Other benefits are improved sleep, decreased risk of injury, decreased pain in many chronic conditions and overall better quality of life.
