How StretchLab Works
One-On-One Stretch
If you haven’t had an assisted stretch before – prepare yourself for a great time! Your Flexologist will greet you and discuss your current flexibility, any injuries that you may have. and walk you through your session. Stretches are performed on one of our custom designed benches. Your stretch won’t be painful, but your Flexologist will communicate with you throughout your stretch to gauge your comfort level. It’s best to wear clothes you feel comfortable moving in. People wear workout clothes, gym shorts, yoga pants, T-shirts, etc. Jeans and slacks tend to restrict your mobility so we suggest not wearing those types of materials. We require grip socks for your safety and hygiene. If you don't have any we sell a great selection at the studio!

Just visited StretchLab and my experience was AMAZING! Sophie was my Flexologist. Been having lower back issues and she was extremely patient and efficient with stretching me out. She walked me through everything as it was happening and never extended beyond what I could handle. Can't wait to come back!

Wow- what a great concept. Sunday was my first time at StretchLab and I will be sure to return. Raj was my Flexoligist and provided the just right amount of pressure to feel a good deep stretch ( but not too much). I am confident that the quad and knee stretches were the reason I escaped the slippery Cholla trail on Camelback mountain with no injury. I really recommend StretchLab.

I am so grateful to have found StretchLab! I booked a 50 min session with Dominick and it was just what I needed. I have had a hamstring issue for years and tried dry needling, massages, lacrosse balls, foam rolling, creams, etc. The pain was still there. After one session I’m writing this from the treadmill with NO hamstring pain!! Thank you!!

I had my first session yesterday with master Flexologist Kelly. She is very knowledgeable and great at what she does! I am a chiropractor and appreciate a hands-on, natural approach to achieving/maintaining optimal health. I will definitely be back and referring patients for services at StretchLab!

Wow! I'm addicted after just 1 visit. Didn't realize how much I would benefit from this technique. Macy did a fantastic job as did Liz for my husband. I would highly recommend this place for any and everybody!

I tried StretchLab out this weekend and I felt like the service was superb. This might be more helpful than a one hour massage since this actually helps stretch the muscles and helps your body to relax.

QUESTIONS
StretchLab provides one-on-one, customised assisted stretching sessions. The stretches are given on our custom designed benches by Flexologists who will customise your stretch to your needs and talk you through your stretches. Our Flexologists employ a “push & release” type of stretching (technically “proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching”, or PNF) where you will be resisting a bit at times during the stretch and then releasing, resulting in a more effective stretch.
This varies, but it is really up to you and your Flexologist. Based on your assessment, your Flexologist will work with you and recommend a stretch plan for you.
Just like any activity, consistency is key. We offer memberships to get stretched once or twice a week. Your Flexologist will talk to you about the best option for your needs.
Our Flexologists have a variety of backgrounds and are all certified and/or licensed in various bodyworking fields. We have massage therapists, yoga instructors, personal trainers, chiropractors, assistant physical therapists and more! They all complete an extensive training program that teaches them proper stretching techniques and how to work with clients of all body sizes and flexibility levels.
Don’t be. You will feel tension during your stretch, but not pain. Your Flexologist will be constantly checking in with you on your comfort level and will adjust the stretch to your comfort. As the stretches are given your Flexologist will ask you where you are on an intensity scale (your own scale) of 1-10. We shoot for about a 7 on most stretches; if it approaches being too intense, just tell the Flexologist that you are closing in on or at your limit. Some people like a more vigorous stretch, others less so; the stretch is in your control.
We prefer to not stretch anyone who is suffering from any sort of acute injury. You should definitely see a doctor or physical therapist and get clearance from them PRIOR to coming to StretchLab. We are NOT physical therapists. If, however, you suffer from chronic pain, discomfort or tightness, getting an assisted stretch is okay—as long as your doctor or physical therapist approves.
We take walk-ins and appointments. We recommend appointments, however, to guarantee a spot and the Flexologist of your choice.
You can wear whatever you will feel comfortable getting stretched in. People wear workout clothes, gym shorts, yoga gear, loose fitting shorts, T-shirts.
We do not offer services in private rooms. But you can certainly request a bench toward the back if you prefer.
There is no strict age limit. We welcome clients of all ages! However, a parent or guardian will have to sign our waiver for anyone under 18.
