StretchLab offers one-on-one assisted stretching by a highly trained specialist called a Flexologist. The benefits include increased range of motion and flexibility, reduce muscle and joint pain, improve posture and reduce stress just to name a few. A 25 or 50 minute stretch with a Flexologist that’s customized to fit your individual needs, focusing on problem areas or targeting certain muscle groups. Our proprietary Flexologist Training Program is an intensive and thorough series that each of our Flexologists must complete prior to joining StretchLab. During their required 60-70+ hours of theory and hands-on training, our Flexologists learn the muscular system, a variety of assisted stretches and how to work with a variety of clients of all ages and body types. At StretchLab we value energy, growth, community and caring and incorporate these into every aspect of our studios.
