What is assisted stretching?

Assisted stretching is a guided, one-on-one stretching service where a certified stretchologist moves your body through controlled, personalized stretches.

It improves flexibility, reduces stiffness, relieves muscle tension, and supports long-term mobility.

How much does assisted stretching cost at Stretch Suite?

Stretch Suite offers sessions in 25-minute and 50-minute lengths with single session, package, and membership pricing options. Visit stretchsuite.com/pricing for current rates. HSA and FSA may be eligible — check with your plan administrator.

Is assisted stretching covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

However, many clients successfully use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds for assisted stretching sessions. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility. Stretch Suite can provide receipts for reimbursement purposes.

How is assisted stretching different from massage?

Massage works on soft tissue passively while you lie still. Assisted stretching actively moves your body through guided ranges of motion to restore how you move — not just how you feel in the moment. Stretch Suite sessions are fully clothed; massage typically requires disrobing. Both can relieve muscle tension but through different mechanisms. Assisted stretching is better suited for improving long-term range of motion and functional movement.

How is assisted stretching different from physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a medical service requiring a doctor's referral, focused on injury rehabilitation, and typically insurance-driven. Assisted stretching at Stretch Suite requires no referral and focuses on proactive mobility maintenance, stiffness reduction, and flexibility improvement. Many physical therapists recommend continued stretching after PT discharge — Stretch Suite is an appropriate continuation of that care.

Is assisted stretching good for seniors?

Yes. Assisted stretching is especially beneficial for adults over 50. It supports fall prevention, balance, joint mobility, and the ability to stay active and independent longer. Sessions at Stretch Suite are gentle, private, and fully customized to each client's comfort level. No flexibility or fitness experience required.

Can assisted stretching help with back pain?

Yes. Back pain is one of the most common reasons clients visit Stretch Suite. Tight hip flexors, hamstrings, glutes, and thoracic muscles frequently contribute to lower back pain. Assisted stretching addresses these root causes through guided, targeted stretching. Many clients notice relief after their very first session.

How do I book a session at Stretch Suite?

All sessions are booked online at stretchsuite.com/booking. You can also call us at 315-905-0155 or email contact@stretchsuite.com. Stretch Suite is appointment-only — we do not accept walk-ins. Our app is available on the Apple App Store for easy mobile booking.

How often should I get assisted stretching?

Most clients see optimal results with regular sessions — weekly or biweekly for the first several weeks, then monthly as a maintenance routine. Frequency depends on your individual goals, the degree of stiffness or restriction, and your lifestyle.

What is a stretchologist?

A stretchologist is a trained specialist in assisted stretching techniques. At Stretch Suite, all sessions are conducted by certified stretchologists who are trained to guide clients through safe, personalized assisted stretching sessions using techniques including PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and active isolated stretching.

Who can benefit from assisted stretching?

Anyone who wants to improve their joint mobility, reduce daily stiffness, and feel lighter. Stretch Suite serves seniors and adults over 50, desk workers experiencing posture issues, tradespeople needing physical relief, athletes looking to improve performance, and adults dealing with chronic pain. If you have a body and it feels stiff, tight, or limited, assisted stretching at Stretch Suite is for you.

Do you have to be young or athletic to try assisted stretching?

Absolutely not. You do not need to be naturally flexible, athletic, or young to benefit from assisted stretching at Stretch Suite. Sessions meet your body exactly where it is today. In fact, the stiffer you feel, the more you will benefit. Stretch Suite is specifically designed for people who are not already flexible.

Is there an age limit for assisted stretching?

There is no upper age limit for assisted stretching at Stretch Suite. Assisted stretching for seniors is incredibly safe and one of the best ways to maintain physical independence as you age. Techniques are always adjusted to ensure absolute comfort for every stage of life.

Can I come to Stretch Suite if I have arthritis or osteoporosis?

Yes. Stretch Suite welcomes clients with arthritis and osteoporosis. We recommend consulting with your doctor first, but gentle passive stretching is often recommended to help manage the stiffness associated with arthritis. Please inform your stretchologist about your specific condition during your intake consultation so your session can be modified to be as safe and relieving as possible.

Can someone who has had surgery get assisted stretching?

Yes, after you have been fully cleared by your doctor or physical therapist. If you have recently had knee replacement, hip replacement, back surgery, or another procedure, you must receive official clearance for normal activity before beginning assisted stretching sessions at Stretch Suite. Once cleared, Stretch Suite is an excellent way to safely maintain your newly restored mobility.

Is assisted stretching safe during pregnancy?

Stretch Suite asks expectant mothers to wait until after they have delivered and been cleared by their physician before beginning sessions. During pregnancy the body produces relaxin, a hormone that makes joints and ligaments exceptionally loose in preparation for childbirth. This significantly increases the risk of overstretching, so for your safety we ask you to wait until postpartum clearance.

Is assisted stretching good for seniors?
