WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?
Stretching sessions feel like the best physiotherapy combined with the deep relaxation of a massage
One-on-one assisted stretching takes place in our London studio with our physio-led trained Stretch Life Therapists. We do all the work so you don’t have to.
We use PNF* stretching at Stretch Life, a powerful technique designed by a neurophysiologist in the 1950's to unlock lasting flexibility by working with both your muscles and nervous system.
Unlike a typical stretch or massage, PNF helps your body retain that feeling of openness, so the effects last. With regular sessions, you’ll experience real improvements in mobility, helping you move better, feel stronger, and support your long-term health and longevity.
The benefits from assisted stretching are remarkable, relieving people from aches and pains, and enhancing sports performance. PNF stretching also calms your nervous system, reducing stress and inflammation and helping you sleep better.

what an eye opener! this was my first time trying an assisted stretch and I was quite skeptical about it but now i believe the hype. i thought i was the most inflexible person on the planet, but after the session i felt a foot taller and so much looser overall. And without any of the pain that I associate with physio or pt sessions. winner.

BENEFITS OF ASSISTED STRETCHING
The power of PNF assisted stretching
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching, is an advanced assisted stretching technique used to improve range of motion by engaging both the muscles and the neurological system for a deeper, more impactful stretch experience.
You’re guaranteed to see results right from your first session.
You do not need to be flexible to enjoy PNF assisted stretching and it will not hurt. The PNF method was designed to connect your neurological and muscular system allowing increases in range of motion without pain and all of our Stretch Life Therapists are highly trained by our physios to deliver the highest standard of assisted stretching.
IMPROVED
FLEXIBILITY
The combination of neurological and muscle engagement turns up the dial on your range of motion offering up gains that are immediate and long lasting.
A Stretch Life Therapist can help you stretch your muscles better than you could on your own, significantly benefiting your mobility and range of movement, helping your body retain that additional mobilty for the long term.
BETTER
POSTURE
Assisted stretching helps to correct postural imbalances by stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones.
This can be particularly beneficial for people who sit for long periods, such as office workers, bus and train drivers and those suffering from sciatica pain.
INJURY
PREVENTION
PNF’s dual focus on strengthening and stretching helps prevent injuries and reduce the risk of strains and sprains.
It’s not about being flexible, it’s about being resilient.
ATHLETIC
PERFORMANCE
Sports enthusiasts and athletes will benefit from assisted stretching by improving the range of motion, which will enhance athletic performance.
Be the best you can be with regular assisted stretching sessions.
STRESS
REDUCTION
PNF stretching works with your nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and inflammation which has a positive impact on your mental health.
Assisted stretching is also great way to relax tense muscles to ease stress and anxiety that you could not achieve by stretching solo.
Because PNF calms your nervous system, you’ll feel more relaxed, helping you to sleep better better and rejuvenate.
PAIN FREE
STRETCHING
PNF stretching taps into the nervous system, teaching your body new range of motion limits. Unlike static or passive stretching, there’s no risk of stress on your muscles meaning you won’t feel pain the next day. Your body will also retain that feeling of openness helping you feel more flexible with regular assisted stretching.
