Myofascial Stretch Therapy in Los Angeles
Assisted stretching and myofascial techniques combined in one session, aimed at longer, more usable range you can then strengthen.
Myofascial stretch therapy combines assisted stretching with myofascial release techniques. Your specialist works on muscle and the connective tissue around it together, moving you through stretches while applying targeted pressure. At StretchFormation it is a supporting therapy that helps you access better positions for alignment and strength training.
How it differs from regular stretching
Traditional stretching focuses on lengthening a muscle. Myofascial stretch therapy also addresses restrictions in the surrounding tissue, using pressure, movement and stretch together. Many clients find this a more thorough way to work through stubborn tight areas.
What to expect
You will stay clothed and lie on a table while your specialist guides you through stretches for the hips, legs, back, shoulders and neck, pausing to work on areas that feel restricted. The session should feel like a strong stretch and firm pressure, never sharp pain.
