Assisted stretching, myofascial release, myofascial stretch therapy, gua sha, cupping and Graston technique, each used to help you move into better positions for your alignment and strength training.

Quick answer

At StretchFormation in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, supporting therapies are hands-on and instrument-assisted techniques that support mobility and recovery. They complement our longevity-focused posture, alignment and strength training: the therapy helps you access better range, and corrective exercise and strength work build control in it, so mobility gains last.
