Question 1

What is assisted stretch therapy?

Accepted Answer

It's a hands-on session where a coach moves your body through stretches you can't reach effectively on your own. You stay relaxed on a table while your limbs are positioned, held, and gently taken deeper — targeting the joints and muscle groups that have lost range of motion. Fifty minutes, fully clothed, no effort required from you beyond breathing.

Question 2

How is this different from a massage?

Accepted Answer

A massage works on tissue while you lie still. Assisted stretching moves you — the goal is range of motion at the joint, not just relief in the muscle. Both feel good; only one leaves you moving better. Many clients use stretch therapy for the movement and massage for recovery.

Question 3

Do you come to my home or office?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sessions are available in-studio, or as out-call to your home or office anywhere in the service area. A table comes with the session, so all that's needed is a bit of clear floor space.

Question 4

How much does stretch therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

Sessions run $130–$150 each depending on whether you book a package or a recurring frequency. Packages bring the per-session rate down; exact pricing is confirmed on a short consultation call.

Question 5

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Stretch therapy is available in Washington DC, Arlington VA, Falls Church VA, Alexandria VA, Bethesda MD, McLean VA, Potomac MD, and Chevy Chase MD — in-studio or out-call to your home or office.

Question 6

How long is a session?

Accepted Answer

Fifty minutes. That's long enough to work the full body or go deep on a specific problem area — hips, shoulders, hamstrings, lower back — without the session losing focus.

Question 7

Do I need to already be flexible?

Accepted Answer

No. Stiff is the normal starting point, and it's the reason the session exists. Everything is scaled to your current range; nothing is forced past where your body is willing to go that day.

Question 8

Can stretch therapy help with desk-related posture or pain?

Accepted Answer

It's one of the most common reasons clients start. Sitting all day shortens hip flexors, rounds the shoulders, and stiffens the thoracic spine. Sessions target exactly that pattern to relieve the tightness and reduce the everyday aches it causes. It isn't medical treatment — if you have a diagnosed injury or ongoing pain, work with your physician or physical therapist alongside it.

Question 9

How often should I get stretched?

Accepted Answer

Most clients do best with two to four sessions a month. Weekly works well while you're actively trying to change your range of motion; twice a month is a solid maintenance rhythm once you're there.

Question 10

Is stretch therapy covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Typically not. Assisted stretch therapy is a wellness and performance service, not a medical service, so it usually isn't reimbursed by insurance.

Question 11

Can I combine stretch therapy with personal training?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and the two work well together — stretching restores the range of motion that lets you train the full movement, and training keeps that range. Many training clients add a monthly stretch session to their program.
