why assisted stretching
Our Stretch Life Therapists use the powerful principles of PNF* assisted stretching.
Passive stretching, where you hold a stretch without movement, is familiar and relaxing and does the job of keeping you flexible...to an extent. PNF assisted stretching is the results-driven alternative. It’s like having an energising chat with your muscles and neurological system, leading to greater ranges of motion and an overall feeling of wellbeing.
And the best bit? It’s effortless for you. Lie down and let us do all the work so you don’t have to.
THE POWER OF PNF

assisted stretching benefits
Here’s why we are passionate about bringing the power of PNF stretching to you.
With regular assisted stretching sessions, you will enhance your sports performance, gain relief from aches and pains, increase your mobility and feel refreshed and revived.
Studies show that with regular sessions of twice a week or more, you can even build muscle. Regardless of motivation, personalised one-on-one PNF assisted stretching delivers remarkable benefits.
Think of assisted stretching as preventative healthcare to extend your health span. Life’s short - stretch it out.
PNF stretching vs. Passive
PNF is more dynamic and a little more interactive than passive stretching. It’s not just a stretch, it’s a full-body experience that engages your muscles and your brain through triggering your neuromuscular system.
Flexibility Frontiers
PNF takes you beyond the limits of passive stretching. It’s like turning up the dial on your flexibility, offering lasting and significant gains.
Because the PNF method creates a ‘muscle memory’ we’re training your brain to remember the openness you gain for the long term.
Builds Muscle Strength
PNF not only improves your mobility and range of motion, with regular sessions, you can also start to build muscle strength.
Neuromuscular Engagement
PNF stimulates the nervous system, pushing your body to new limits. This neurological involvement results in more efficient and effective stretches, a dimension that passive stretching lacks. It also ensures you stretch without pain or risk of injury or micro tears.
Injury Prevention
PNF’s dual emphasis on strength and flexibility makes it superior in injury prevention. It’s not just about flexibility; it’s about building resilience for the long term whether you are a sports enthusiast or just want to look after your body more effectively to protect your longevity.
Adaptable and Effective
PNF stretching is adaptable for all, from the most inflexible to the hyper-mobile. It’s a versatile and enjoyable approach to your overall physical and mental health and wellbeing.
