Who benefits from stretching?
Everyone can benefit from stretching! If you are experiencing stiff, tight muscles and joints, a stretching session with our specialists will help increase your mobility. We are not only stretching the muscle, but are also stretching the ligament and fascia, increasing the mobility of joints that need to be moving. We have worked with all types of individuals from your weekend warrior to grandparents to elite athletes. Remember mobility is the key to a better life.
Mobility Stretching
- What is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching?
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a more advanced form of flexibility training that involves both stretching and contraction of the muscle group being targeted. It is very effective in targeting specific muscle groups, releasing tension, increasing flexibility and range of motion.
Unlike most stretching routines, Recovery Lab mobility stretch sessions target both fascia and muscles. Fascia is strong, dense connective tissue that surrounds and separates your muscles. When the fascia becomes stressed or tight (due to injury, inflammation, or just everyday activity) it can cause pain and decreased flexibility. We like to target the muscle and fascia in order to release and relieve these negative effects
- What can I expect out of a stretching session?
After a session, you will feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. You may also feel a little sore days after. Soreness is dependent on multiple factors and is different from person to person. You can feel muscle soreness and joint stiffness up to 24-72 hours after session. The cause of the soreness is because we are exposing you to new range of motions that your body is not conditioned to. After the soreness dissipates, you will feel significant improvement in your range of motion as well as your overall physical well-being. We recommend scheduling sessions on your off day of training or when you are done with your strenuous activities for the day to allow for optimal rehabilitation time.
- What should I wear for my stretch session?
Wear loose and comfortable clothing that permits movement in all directions, such as fitness apparel. Please remove jewelry prior to session and have long hair out of the way.
