Therapeutic Stretching
Therapeutic stretching is a form of therapy that improves flexibility, mobility, and overall well-being.
Our therapists at Maryam Aquatics & Bodyworks combine traditional massage techniques with assisted stretching to improve range of motion, flexibility, and overall physical function.
Injury Prevention
Strains and sprains are less likely if they're flexible. Stretching therapy can be especially beneficial for athletes or active individuals.
Improved Posture
Stretching tight muscles, particularly in the hips, shoulders, and back, can help realign the body and improve posture over time.
Stress Reduction
Like massage therapy, stretching can trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting relaxation.
Enhanced Circulation
Stretching stimulates blood flow, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles and joints, which promotes healing and recovery.
Is This Therapy For Everyone?
Therapeutic stretching therapy involves gentle, controlled movements that are designed to stretch and lengthen the muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout the body. During a session, the therapist may use a combination of massage techniques along with various stretching and range of motion exercises. They may also use props such as resistance bands or foam rollers to help facilitate the stretching and movement.
Overall, this massage is a safe and effective way to improve range of motion and flexibility in the body. However, individuals with joint injuries or osteoporosis, should consult with massage therapist before undergoing this therapy.Who Does This Massage Help?
Athletes & Active Individuals
Stretching improves performance and recovery, so it's particularly useful in sports that demand agility, power, and flexibility.
Office Workers
Hours of sitting lead to tight hips, back, and neck muscles. This reduce the risk of postural imbalances and tension headaches.

Aging leads to natural loss of flexibility and mobility. Stretching slow this decline, improve balance, and reduce fall risk.
