Assisted Stretching in a nutshell

Assisted stretching is a service where a trained specialist helps guide your body through stretches that you cannot effectively achieve on your own. Using precise techniques and proper positioning, we help you reach deeper, more beneficial stretches while ensuring your safety and comfort.

Common Questions

How is this different from massage or physiotherapy?

While massage focuses on muscle manipulation and physiotherapy addresses injury rehabilitation, assisted stretching specifically targets flexibility, mobility, and range of motion through guided stretching techniques. It's a unique service that complements but doesn't replace other therapies.

What should I wear to my session?

Grip socks are essential for safety, comfort and effective stretching. Bring your own or purchase them in the studio.

Do I need to be flexible to start?

Absolutely not! Assisted stretching is perfect for people of all flexibility levels. In fact, those who feel "inflexible" often see the most dramatic improvements. We meet you where you are and progress at your pace.

How often should I come for sessions?

After an initial period, some clients revert to a Maintenance Plan coming once a fortnight.

Is assisted stretching safe?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals. Our specialist is experienced in proper body mechanics and will never push you beyond your comfortable range of motion. Communication throughout the session ensures your safety and comfort.

How quickly will I see results?

Many clients notice improvements in how they feel immediately after their first session. Lasting changes in flexibility and mobility typically develop over 4-6 weeks of regular sessions.

What's included in the initial assessment?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation of your movement patterns, flexibility baseline, discussion of your goals, and a customised program design. You'll also experience assisted stretching techniques so you know what to expect in future sessions.

Do you offer memberships or packages?

Yes! We offer flexible membership options and session packages to make regular stretching affordable and convenient. We'll help you choose the option that best fits your goals and budget.

Can assisted stretching help with chronic pain?

While we cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions, many clients find that improved flexibility and mobility help them feel more comfortable in their daily activities. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider about incorporating assisted stretching into your wellness routine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am impressed with the quality of service here. I came here out of curiosity and a pair of sore knees due to an injury a while ago. Some expert assisted stretching and my mobility has improved no end. I think it is a great service for anyone of any degree of fitness or mobility.

I’ve been going to StretchWorks and the results have been fantastic. The team has genuinely helped me improve my flexibility, mobility and overall recovery, especially alongside my gym training. I’m feeling a real difference in my body, and the personalised attention and care make every session worthwhile.

Highly recommend StretchWorks to anyone looking to move better, feel better and invest in their long-term wellbeing. The team is excellent! Best in Bayside.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great stretch with Mia. She communicated clearly and didn’t seek to overdo it. Followed up with a session in the compression boots. Legs felt good afterwards. Can highly recommend Stretchworks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so very gratefulI that I found Stretchworks earlier this year.
I am 16 months into two surgeries and on going difficulty walking   3 surgeons and no answers
I personally have 50 years of clinical and rehab therapy under my belt I have high standards because of my personal success in helping hundreds of people get back to health
Yesterday after only a few treatments we had a huge breakthrough.  Finally my therapist at StretchWorks Black Rock identified my imbalance and we got straight on to it.
Strategically and slowly It almost brought me to tears. I can truthfully attest that the educated and unique standards of each therapist is to be celebrated.
I finally can start repairing . Just being able to walk and move and know I finally have a safe way forward
I am beyond grateful StretchWorks Black Rock
