What is SportStretch?

SportStretch is a floor mat, movement based, full body routine that consists of both actively and passively stretching a client.  It can be done as an individual treatment or integrated into the end of a massage. This work can be used as a warmup prior to activity, as it can invigorate an athlete and get them ready to move, or it can be applied as recovery work, to relax them after activity.  You will learn that your intentions will determine the outcome of your work. I have uniquely incorporated a combination of techniques such as Thai Massage, Compression, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), Ashiatsu, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR), Traction and various Myofascial and Myoskeletal techniques to create the SportStretch routine. This method can be combined with massage table work. Contact me to ask what would be the best treatment for you.
