We ask that you arrive about 10 minutes early so that you have time to change and check in for your appointment. Prior to your first stretch, your Vital Stretch Practitioner (VSP) will go through your intake with you. We want to be sure you have no injuries, and talk through any areas of concern you may have. We also like to perform some “before” motions so we can compare the “after” motion when you are finished! We usually make specific recommendations for stretches to perform on your own in between our sessions to keep the progress going!
If you have an injury we advise you to seek the advice of a health care professional for clearance for assisted stretching. You may see your own practitioner or we can arrange a free education screening in person or via phone with a Physical Therapist or Chiropractic Physician at our affiliate healthcare office of Advanced Health Professionals, P.C.
Absolutely, unless your doctor advises against it. We may need to modify stretching positions and will ask for your input throughout your session regarding how you are feeling to ensure your complete level of comfort and relaxation. You can even drift off for a little snooze while we stretch you. You’ll feel that good!
Worried your stretcher will push you too far? Don’t be. We tailor each assisted stretch session to meet your individual goals and your body’s specific needs.
It is important to note that all of our Certified Stretch-Specialists are also Licensed Massage Therapists and/or hold the highest level of personal training certifications through NASM, ISSA, ACE, ACSM. Our Certified Stretch Practitioners’ advanced degrees and/or licensing gives you the confidence to put motion and stretch into your body. Ensuring you’ll feel The Vital Stretch® difference. Our method of assisted stretching is unlike any other.
You’ll be positioned on our specially designed tables allowing isolated stabilization [our advanced and a soft belting system] will be used to get you in the perfect spot.
As your tight fascia is released throughout your body, you’ll notice each stretch motion going farther as your Certified Stretch Practitioner helps you to increase your flexibility and range of motion. You will see and feel your improvement during your very first stretch. And your progress will only increase and grow from there with your future assisted stretch sessions.
Your tailored stretch program, designed by your Certified Stretch Practitioner, will consider your age, phase of life, and level of conditioning. We will never force your body into a stretch it is not ready to do.
Loose fitting clothes are the best choice to ensure your comfort (and ease of stretch) throughout the process. We require all clients to wear socks during their session. If you do not have socks, we sell them for your convenience
