Frequently Asked Questions
What are the biggest benefits of assisted PNF stretching?
PNF (propreoceptive neuromuscular facilitation) helps to increase flexibility and range of motion, also enhancing muscular strength and efficiency which all help to improve our mobility. Great mobility often reduces pain and can correct muscular imbalances we create in our day to day life.
Does stretching like this hurt?
Nope! It shouldn't. "No pain no gain" simply does not apply here. With our communication throughout the session you should feel pretty comfortable during your stretch. You'll likely feel more tension and maybe tenderness in some areas, but pain is not the goal!
Do I need this?
Everybody needs to stretch! Even our pets do it many times a day. Recovery is one of our most crucial parts of movement and we all need it. Think about all the repetitive activities we do - we drive a lot, sit over a computer, play sports, lift and hold kids on our hips, have an active job or love to lift weights.. stretching is for all of us! Movement is life and range of motion is so important to maintain for a life that feels better.
Will I feel an immediate difference?
Just like anything else we have to get good at, consistency is key! However, one of my favorite parts about assisted PNF is the immediate difference you feel from the way you walked in to the way you walk out, even DURING your stretch. After several sessions you'll begin to see the benefits of consistency.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes that you can be stretched in. Avoid tight and restrictive clothing such as jeans or dresses.
***Don't forget a fresh pair of socks! (Service upgrade charge of $5 for a fresh pair to be provided)
​
Why the need to bring a fresh pair of socks?
Feet are the foundation of our bodies and they do not go ignored here! Socks create a better grip for me to work into that fascia through while also protecting from scratching or slipping when they're put in certain positions along the table or myself. If you prefer to not have your feet worked on (wouldn't recommend skipping!), socks are still required to prevent scratching or slipping.
Can I bring my little ones?
An opportunity to take some time for YOU, stretch&flex is located inside a professional office building without extra room in studio to have any littles hang out with us -but we can definitely talk about them and the crazy things they've said lately!
How do I pay?
Credit cards, debit cards, cash, Zelle, Apple and by payment app are all accepted payment methods. Considering gratuity? As in any service industry it is never expected and always appreciated.
​
What if I am interested in training and nutritional guidance too?
These both tie in great with a healthy stretching routine and dialing in on all three things can help you to feel your absolute best. On the booking page you can choose to request a TRAINING session at which point I will contact you to discuss your goals and confirm the time and location.
