Stretched Out

What To Expect

  

During your session:


  • Breathe in as you get ready to do the active movement to provide oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.


  • Breathe out during the stretch to eliminate CO2 and Lactic Acid as well as to provide O2 and nutrients to the tissues.  This is called the "pause that refreshes."


  • You should not be in pain during AIS.  We do not want to create 'negative tissue memory'.  You should feel the contradictions of the active muscle.  You  will feel the stretch sensation, but it shouldn't be so strong that you would describe it as pain.  Some describe the feeling as light irritation.


  • The more you actively engage the moving muscle, the more comfortable the stretch will be.  And more effective as well.  (ACTIVE)


  • As much as possible, be aware of which muscles you should be contradicting, and which muscles you are stretching.  (ISOLATED)

the evaluation

As an option to a regular stretch, we offer a 1 HR EVALUATION.  The cost of the evaluation is $75 which also includes a slight stretch after the evaluation.  The Evaluation will help us determine a client's range of motion deficiencies.  In other words, it will show us muscle imbalances and areas of muscle tightness.  Evaluation appointments must be made by phone.  Prior to your appointment, no exercising, stretching, or work outs of any kind.  As this can affect the outcome of the evaluation.
