Assisted Stretching

Assisted stretching at Mersea Road Clinic in Colchester

What is assisted stretching?

Assited stretching can help you improve your flexibility and range of motion faster and more efficiently than you could achieve alone. In an Assisted Stretching you will be guided through the most effective stretching and fascia release techniques to help you achieve better flexibility and quality of movement. 

Effective regular stretching is just as important as regular exercise, and is an essential part of any sustainable health and fitness programme. Stretching keeps muscles strong, supple and healthy - giving you the flexibility and range of motion to support the activity of your joints and muscles without risk of pain or injury. If flexibility and range of motion is limited - all too often the case in our sedentary, deskbound lifestyles - we not only risk damage, but are prevented from being able to move our bodies to the best of their ability.

However, not all forms of stretching are made equal. Stretching is all too often done incorrectly, becoming counterproductive and even causing injury. There is also no such thing as a one-size fits all stretching programme, technique or routine. Different methods suit different goals, conditions, and bodies.

Here at Mersea Road Clinic we tailor make our stretching sessions by listening to our patients, creating a physical assessment and observing their movement pattern to formulate the most appropriate and beneficial stretches.
