What Is Stretch Therapy?
Stretch therapy is a specialized form of bodywork designed to improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and alleviate muscle tension by focusing on lengthening the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Unlike traditional static stretching, which is often performed as part of a warm-up or cool-down routine, stretch therapy is a targeted, assisted stretching technique guided by a trained therapist.
At Loving Care Family Chiropractor , we integrate stretch therapy into our wellness programs to support the body’s natural ability to move and heal. Our therapists work with you to gently stretch and release tension in areas of the body that may be tight, restricted, or prone to injury. By focusing on specific muscle groups and movement patterns, we help you achieve greater flexibility, better posture, and enhanced overall physical performance.
