Discover the Benefits of Assisted Stretching at TT Chiro RM
​
Located in the heart of Surry Hills, here at TT Chiropractic & Remedial Massage, we understand the crucial role flexibility and mobility play in maintaining an active lifestyle. Assisted Stretching is a targeted therapy that can significantly enhance your physical capabilities and prevent injuries, making it an essential service for anyone looking to improve their overall health and performance.
​
What is Assisted Stretching?
​
Assisted Stretching is a technique where a therapist helps you stretch in ways that are difficult to achieve on your own. This personalised approach ensures that stretches are performed correctly and effectively, providing more significant benefits than solo stretching.
​
It involves various methods, including PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), dynamic stretching, and static stretching, tailored to fit the specific needs of each client.
The Science Behind Assisted Stretching
​
The basis of Assisted Stretching is to improve the muscle's elasticity and length, which can lead to increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Stretching regularly also helps to prevent injuries and can reduce pain and stiffness associated with muscle overuse and everyday activities.
Key Benefits of Assisted Stretching
1
Enhanced Flexibility
​
Regular assisted stretching can help lengthen muscles and improve flexibility, which is essential for overall physical health and optimal performance in various sports and activities.
2
Increased Range of Motion
​
By loosening tight muscles and joints, assisted stretching increases your range of motion, making daily activities easier and improving your performance in physical pursuits.
3
Stress Relief
​
Stretching has been shown to release endorphins, natural painkillers produced by the brain, which can help reduce stress levels and enhance mood.
4
Injury Prevention
​
Flexible muscles are less likely to become injured. Regular stretching helps to prepare the muscles for exertion.
5
Improved Posture and Balance
​
Tight muscles can lead to poor posture. Assisted Stretching helps to realign the body and improve posture and balance.
