What Is It?Not simply
stretching
Compression Therapy uses sequential air pressure delivered through specialized sleeves wrapped around the legs, hips, or arms.
The sleeves gently inflate and deflate in a controlled pattern that helps encourage healthy circulation, support lymphatic movement, reduce muscle soreness, and promote recovery.
Unlike massage, compression therapy works through rhythmic air pressure that creates a relaxing recovery experience requiring no physical effort from the client.

Why Assisted Stretching?Your body was
designed to move
Modern lifestyles often create tight hips, stiff backs, rounded shoulders, restricted movement, and poor posture. Assisted Stretch Therapy is designed to restore natural movement by improving flexibility, mobility, and joint function.
The goal isn't simply to become more flexible. The goal is to move through life with less restriction.

Frequently Asked QuestionsYour questions,
answered
Do I need to be flexible?
Not at all. Many clients begin precisely because they aren’t. Sessions meet you where you are and progress from there.
Will stretching hurt?
No. There’s no aggressive forcing — your therapist works within a comfortable range and adjusts based on how your body responds.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothing you can move freely in — similar to what you’d wear to a workout.
How long is a session?
Sessions vary, commonly around 30–60 minutes. Staff can help you choose a length for your goals.
Can I combine stretching with massage?
Yes. Stretch and massage complement each other well, and many clients pair them in the same visit.
Can I combine stretching with cryotherapy?
Yes. Assisted stretch pairs nicely with cryotherapy and other recovery services — staff can help you sequence them.
How often should I come?
It depends on your goals. Some come weekly to improve mobility; others drop in when they feel tight. There’s no schedule commitment required.
Is this like yoga?
No. This is one-on-one, therapist-guided stretching customized to your body — you relax while your specialist does the work.
Is it safe?
Assisted stretch is gentle and guided, with no aggressive forcing. If you have an injury or medical condition, let our staff know and consult your physician beforehand.
Can stretching improve athletic performance?
It can support performance by improving mobility, range of motion, and movement quality — often used alongside training.

built to have so you can train harder, recover faster, perform better, and simply
enjoy everyday life with greater freedom. Every session is customized because
every body moves differently.
