FAQs
What should I expect at my first session?
Your first Get Stretched session has three parts: initial assessment, guided stretching, and wrap-up. We start by understanding your goals and limitations, then move into personalized stretching led by your therapist. We’ll end with tailored recommendations for ongoing wellness. It’s normal to feel some soreness afterwards, as we’re activating underused muscles. Feel free to ask any questions you have during your visit.
Do I need a credit card to make an appointment?
A credit card is required to book a session, either for a one-time charge or against pre-purchased sessions. Charges apply after your session. Check our Terms & Conditions for cancellation details.
Why can’t I just stretch myself?
Our assistance, precision and knowledge allows you to get a deeper stretch than you could achieve on your own. Our techniques reach many hard to reach muscles. Our approach balances joint and body segments to create symmetry so nothing is forgotten. We use a systematic approach that not only delivers a feeling of relief but also retrains the neuro-muscular system and brain function, resulting in maximum benefits.
What should I wear to my session?
Wear loose-fitting pants and a shirt for optimal stretching, and don’t forget socks—they’re a must. If you’re coming from work, just make sure your clothes are easy to move in. If you need to change, arrive 10 minutes early for a smooth check-in.
Should I stretch before or after a workout?
The type of stretching we do is beneficial both before and after. Stretching before helps to prepare your muscles for your workout. It awakens muscle fibers and prepares your joints to move through their full range of motion in the most effective way. Stretching after exercise helps to release the muscular tension built up during your workout and helps to properly restore myofascial direction. This assists the healing process as you recover.
How can THIS improve my fitness routine?
A session with Get Stretched can elevate your fitness routine by systematically increasing the intensity and duration of your stretches. This targeted approach helps improve your flexibility, range of motion, and overall muscle function, making your workouts more effective. It can also aid in quicker recovery and reduce muscle soreness, allowing you to get back to your fitness regimen sooner.
May I tip my therapist?
Tipping is welcome if you’re happy with your session, just like other personal services. The amount is up to you. For cashless tipping, scan the therapist’s QR code at the front desk to access their Venmo.
How is stretch therapy different from physical therapy?
Physical therapy assists recovery by working with the affected area directly through a variety of modalities. Stretch therapy is a kinetic chain approach utilizing active range of motion training, we are not restricted to specific body parts but we work with the entire muscular system as a whole. By working with the entire body, we may uncover something deeper that is causing your pain or your restricted movement. Our approach engages the nervous system and increases blood flow to actively assist the body’s healing process and to also re-teach the body its natural range of motion. We are a great complement to physical therapy and have great relationships with many in the field.
