What does Stretch Therapy Involve? 

Our Online Stretch therapy session will involve the help of props like straps, balls, foam rollers, bolsters, sticks, chairs, towels etc to help the soft tissues and nerves feel more neurologically relaxed to get deeper into stretches. The body will not allow you to stretch much without feeling warm, and relaxed as possible. Sometimes there is a level of discomfort or better described as a sensation - and we ask that you tune into your body, be mindful and remember to breathe.

 

Can you Relax any more? 

This will benefit you in stretch and massage therapy, as a tensed up body preparing for attack will not be able to reap the full benefits of the therapy. Obviously if there is intense pain, one should ease in and out of positions and check the form with the therapist, who should be carefully observing you and adjusting where necessary.

 

The mantra of Stretch Therapy is to move slowly, with full awareness. 

 

What are the Benefits of Stretch Therapy? 

If you’re not yet that much convinced with the importance and why you should take stretch therapy, below are just some of the well-known benefits of this therapy to your body:

 

  • Improve the level of ease in the body

  • Rid of unnecessary tension where possible

  • Improve your flexibility, strength, and mobility

  • Delays the effect of aging

  • Reduces your chances of getting injured

  • Improves the blood flow and circulatory system of your muscles, joints, and tissues

  • Treat the tightness and tensions in the muscle

  • Improves your body posture to free up your back pain

  • Up-levels your overall body fitness

  • Helps you to be relieved from stress and anxiety

 

Regular Stretching vs Assisted Stretching 

A key difference with Stretch Therapy vs other stretching is the partner assisted stretching. There is solo stretching on your own, and partnered whereby someone else aids your alignment and depth of stretching, all of which can be taught in a class. 

 

Generally you will learn the proper execution of the solo exercise techniques and know which muscles to focus on so they can get the most out of this stretch therapy, before attempting partnered stretches. 

 

Assisted Stretching 

When it comes to assisted stretching, someone will help you with all the important things to know, and the DOs and DON’Ts during a stretch therapy workshop. Also, the one who will be assisting you is already knowledgeable about all the techniques and which muscles to focus on so that you will have a unique routine that is focused on your physical fitness needs. If you’re not familiar with the system of this therapy, don’t hesitate to contact an expert like us to assist you with stretch therapy classes.

 

Setting an appointment for Stretch Therapy Classes Online? 

If you are looking to stay at home while taking stretch therapy sessions, there’s a way to actually set yourself up for online stretch therapy classes. At the moment Mojotherapy only teaches 1:1 online set up privately, there are no group online classes. This way it is bespoke to your needs.

You can also choose from pre recorded video plans and programs via Stretch Therapy founders. Then, as you watch the video, you can simply follow the steps and instructions of the therapist.

Also, do not worry if you don’t have a partner because there are classes that only apply solo stretch exercise techniques.

What will happen in a Stretch Therapy Session?

In a way, stretch therapy is similar in approach to massage therapy. Both of them can be delivered 1-on-1 with your therapist. First, you fill out a form about your medical history and the therapist conducts a quick assessment. They will focus on what soft tissue issues hinder your body movement’s mobility and flexibility with a practical plan.
