about us
Our Method
We help customers feel better by assisted stretching, and reaching personalized goals.
Max Potential
Way of Life Stretching excels in offering tailored programs to accommodate a wide range of fitness levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned athletes. The customization begins with a comprehensive initial consultation, during which an individual’s fitness levels and personal goals are meticulously assessed. This initial step ensures that the program is ideally suited to the client’s current capabilities and aspirations, thereby laying a strong foundation for effective progress.
Stretch is a Way of Life
The core principles of Way of Life Stretching revolve around the belief that stretching is not merely a physical activity but a vital component of a healthy lifestyle.
Many Stretches
A diverse array of stretching techniques is employed to meet the varying needs of clients. Static stretching, which involves holding a stretch for a prolonged period, is often recommended for individuals looking to improve general flexibility.
Get Dynamic
Dynamic stretching, incorporating movement-based stretches that mimic the activity of the muscles during exercise, is beneficial for those preparing for dynamic sports or activities.
Next Level Stretching
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching, a more advanced method, involves both stretching and contracting the muscle group and is particularly effective for those looking to maximize their range of motion.
What if I have an Injury?
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.
When should i get stretched?
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.
How often should get stretched?
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.
What sort of backgrounds do your employees have?
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.
What do you do at Way of Life?
Way of Life provides one-on-one, customized assisted stretching sessions. The stretches are given on our custom designed benches by Flexologists who will customize 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.
Will I get hurt?
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.
What is a session like?
A Way of Life Stretch Session is 25, 45, or 60 minutes of fully assisted passive stretching, where one of our certified stretch coaches will gently stretch you from head to toe. It takes place in a private room, so you can comfortably relax and have your session tailored to your body’s needs.
“Finally, I feel stretched and limber! I feel 10 years younger and able to do all kind of activities now.”
Way of Life Stretching goes beyond mere program creation by offering continuous support and adjustments. As clients progress, their programs are reviewed and modified to reflect their evolving fitness levels and goals.
