Assisted Stretching in Englewood, CO
Move More Comfortably and Improve Your Flexibility
Feeling tight can affect more than your flexibility. It can change how you move, exercise, work, and perform everyday activities.
At High Caliber Chiropractic, assisted stretching provides a guided approach to working on areas of tightness and limited mobility. Instead of simply following a general stretching routine, your sessions can focus on the areas where you need the most attention.
Whether you are active and want to maintain your mobility or you have noticed that certain movements are becoming more difficult, our team can help you work toward moving more comfortably.
What Is Assisted Stretching?
Assisted stretching involves working with a trained provider who guides your body through stretches based on your mobility and comfort level.
Having someone assist with the movement can make it easier to focus on specific muscle groups and areas of tightness that may be difficult to address on your own.
Your stretching session is adjusted to you. We consider how you move, where you feel restricted, and what you want to accomplish rather than putting everyone through the same routine.
Why Consider Assisted Stretching?
You do not have to be an athlete to benefit from working on your flexibility and mobility.
Assisted stretching may be useful for people who experience:
- Muscle tightness
- Limited flexibility
- Stiffness after sitting for long periods
- Tightness from repetitive work
- Restrictions during exercise or sports
- General difficulty with certain movements
- Muscle tightness after physical activity
- A desire to maintain mobility as part of an active lifestyle
If you regularly feel like your body is tight or certain movements are harder than they should be, guided stretching can give those areas more focused attention.
Stretching for Active People
Your body needs to move well to keep up with the activities you enjoy.
Running, weight training, cycling, golfing, hiking, recreational sports, and physically demanding work can all place different demands on your muscles and joints. Over time, certain areas may begin to feel tighter than others.
Assisted stretching can focus on the areas that take the most stress from your particular activities.
The goal is not to make everyone extremely flexible. It is to help you work on the mobility you need for your life.
Stretching & Chiropractic Care
For some patients, stretching can be a useful addition to chiropractic care.
Chiropractic treatment may address areas of restricted joint movement, while stretching focuses more directly on muscle flexibility and mobility. When appropriate, the two can be incorporated into a broader approach based on what your doctor finds during your evaluation.
Stretching may also be recommended between visits to help you continue working on specific areas at home.
Your doctor can help determine what makes sense based on your needs.
What to Expect During a Stretching Session
-
Your session begins by discussing where you feel tight and what movements or activities are giving you trouble.
-
From there, your provider can guide you through stretches focused on the appropriate areas. The intensity and range of each stretch can be adjusted based on your mobility and comfort.
-
You should always feel comfortable communicating during your session. Stretching should be controlled and purposeful, not a competition to see how far your body can go.
Make Mobility Part of Your Routine
Stretching is not only something to think about when you feel stiff.
Regularly working on mobility can be a practical part of taking care of your body, especially if you spend long hours sitting, train frequently, play sports, or have a physically demanding routine.
At High Caliber Chiropractic, we can help you identify areas that may need more attention and provide guided stretching based on how your body moves.
