What is assisted stretching and how can you benefit from it?
Lower back pain? Sore muscles? Tight muscles? If you have ever wanted more flexibility, then an assisted stretching
session is for you. Stretching increases blood-flow to muscles and
increases range of motion in the joints.
The session is very relaxing, as your trainer does all of the work-- stretching your muscles to their limit and increasing your flexibility. Just lie back and relax!
Assisted stretching allows for what you cannot obtain through self stretching: maximal resistance. As you progress in your resistance flexibility and strength training, you will eventually need to resist maximally in order to achieve maximal results.
It takes twice as much force to resistance stretch a muscle as it does to strengthen it. So if you strengthen your hamstring with 50 pounds, it takes 100 pounds of resistance to stretch your hamstring. This is where help from another person becomes an essential part of your training program.
The best part about my assisted stretching sessions is the stretching of the rhomboids, located on your back on each side of your spine. Many clients have noticed instant relief from back pain using this method. I encourage you to try assisted stretching if you have lower back pain or sore/tight muscles!
