Stretching is a common solo pursuit, a warm-up for sports or simply getting through the day with a minimum of aches and pains. While this is helpful, some muscle tension persists, no matter how you stretch yourself.
At Active Care Chiropractic & Rehabilitation we offer assisted stretching, a hands-on therapeutic technique that takes you past where you can stretch on your own. Available through our locations in Lafayette Hill, the Main Line, East Falls, Elkins Park, Manayunk and Hatfield, Pennsylvania, assisted stretching is an excellent complementary therapy to chiropractic care.
A personalized one-on-one therapy between you and our practitioner, assisted stretching is a routine of controlled stretches chosen for their value in achieving the goals of your overall care. Targeting fascia, joints, and muscles that aren’t easy to address in solo stretching, your caregiver runs your body through wider ranges of motion.
Your personal assisted stretching program develops from our movement assessment of your body, as well as recognizing areas of tension and postural imbalances. We take into account your lifestyle, day-to-day activities, and any recreational pursuits that may contribute to your musculoskeletal aches and pains.
Assisted stretching provides a series of benefits that help you get more out of regular chiropractic adjustments. These benefits include:
By freeing tension, assisted stretching helps your body maintain alignment after your chiropractic adjustments, potentially shortening the time it takes to progress back to pain-free living.
You may find value in assisted stretching if you fall into one of these categories:
As well as in-office assisted stretching, we’ll provide you with at-home movements to build on your therapy.
We’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation of your posture, flexibility, and movement patterns, as well as a review of your symptoms and health history.
Assisted stretching works to your comfort level, so we monitor your feedback actively throughout your appointment to avoid new pain or strains. We may suggest other conservative care modalities to directly address your needs, including active release and Graston techniques.
