Assisted stretching is a hands-on treatment where your physiotherapist moves your body through guided stretches while you fully relax.

Unlike stretching on your own, this approach allows for deeper, more precise, and more effective stretching, helping improve mobility while keeping your body safe.

By removing the effort from you, assisted stretching helps overcome your body’s natural stretch reflex, allowing muscles to relax and lengthen more effectively.

How Assisted Stretching Works:

• You relax while your therapist does the work
• Stretches are personalised to your body, movement patterns, and goals
• Gentle, controlled pressure allows for deeper, more targeted stretching
• Helps improve joint mobility and muscle flexibility safely

Benefits of Assisted Stretching:

• Improves flexibility and range of motion
• Reduces muscle tension and stiffness
• Supports recovery after exercise or training
• Improves posture, balance, and movement efficiency

Who Assisted Stretching Is For:

Assisted stretching is suitable for a wide range of people, particularly those looking to move more freely and comfortably, including:

• Active and athletic individuals
• Desk workers and sedentary lifestyles
• People with chronic pain, stiffness, or poor posture
• Those recovering from injury as part of physiotherapy rehabilitation

Assisted stretching can be used as a standalone service or combined with remedial massage for optimal results.
