1. What is an assessment, and how does it work?

​

During your first session, I’ll perform a comprehensive assessment to understand your body’s current state. This includes evaluating your posture, mobility, and any areas of tension or discomfort. Here’s how the process works:

• Toes and Feet: I’ll observe your foot alignment, arch height, and the way you distribute weight. This can reveal information about your overall posture and gait.

• Knees and Hips: I'll check for any restrictions in hip mobility and knee alignment, which can affect your posture and movement patterns.

• Spine and Posture: I’ll assess your spinal alignment, any curvature issues, and how your body carries weight. We’ll look for signs of misalignment or compensatory patterns.

• Shoulders and Upper Body: I’ll evaluate your shoulder alignment, muscle imbalances, and posture. This can help address upper back and neck tension.

• Head and Neck: Finally, I’ll examine your neck and head position to identify any tension or misalignment that may be contributing to discomfort or headaches.

This analysis helps guide the treatment plan to address your specific needs.

2. How will assisted stretching help me if I’ve felt tighter after stretching in the past?

​

Assisted stretching is different from traditional stretching because it’s guided and controlled. I’ll help you stretch in a way that targets your specific areas of tension while using breathwork to calm your nervous system. This helps your body relax into the stretch more effectively, reducing the likelihood of feeling tighter afterward.

​

3. What happens during a session?

​

We’ll begin with an assessment to understand your posture, flexibility, and any areas of tension. After that, I’ll guide you through a series of stretches, integrating breathwork to help relax your nervous system. The goal is to release tightness and promote better movement patterns. I’ll also provide you with simple at-home tips to maintain the progress.

​

4. How many sessions will I need to see results?

​

Most clients feel a difference after the first session, but for lasting results, I recommend committing to at least 6 sessions. This gives us time to address your specific needs and track your progress.

​

5. How long is each session, and how much does it cost?

​

Each session lasts [1 hour/1 hour 15 minutes]. My current rates start at $150 for in•home sessions and may vary depending on travel. I also offer packages with added benefits such as progress tracking and personalized at-home exercises.

​

6. What if I don’t have time to do the at-home exercises?

​

The at-home exercises are designed to be quick and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. They typically take just a few minutes a day and are essential for maintaining and enhancing the results we achieve during our sessions.

​

7. Will this hurt?

​

Assisted stretching is meant to feel like a release, not pain. I’ll guide you through the stretches at a pace that is comfortable for you. While some stretches may feel intense, they should always feel beneficial, not uncomfortable.

​

8. Do you work with people who are really inflexible?

​

Absolutely! Flexibility is a journey, and I work with clients of all flexibility levels. The goal is to improve mobility and ease tension, regardless of where you’re starting from.

​

9. What happens if I don’t feel results right away?

​

It’s normal for some areas of your body to take a little longer to respond. With consistency, you’ll start noticing improvements in how your body feels and moves. Everyone’s body responds differently, and I’m here to guide you through the process.

​

10. What do I wear for the session?

​

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement, like workout clothes or stretchy fabrics. You’ll want to feel relaxed and able to move freely during the session.

​

11. What makes your assisted stretching different from traditional stretching?

​

Assisted stretching is tailored to your body’s specific needs, with a focus on relieving tension and improving mobility. Unlike traditional stretching, I guide you through the movements to ensure proper technique and help target deeper muscle layers. The use of breathwork also enhances relaxation and helps release tightness more effectively.

​

12. Can you help with chronic pain or injuries?

Yes, assisted stretching can be very effective for chronic pain or injury recovery. By targeting areas of tightness and improving range of motion, we can help reduce discomfort and support healing. I always take your injury history into account and adjust the sessions accordingly to avoid aggravating any existing conditions.

​

13. How do I know if assisted stretching is right for me?

​

Assisted stretching is beneficial for anyone looking to improve flexibility, relieve tension, and enhance overall mobility. Whether you’re dealing with chronic tightness, poor posture, or recovering from an injury, this method can help. If you're uncertain, I recommend starting with a consultation so we can assess your specific needs and determine the best approach.

​

14. Do I need to be in good shape to benefit from assisted stretching?

​

Not at all! Assisted stretching is designed to meet you where you are, regardless of your fitness level. Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to reduce tension, we will work together to create a plan that fits your needs and helps you feel your best.

​

15. How will you track my progress?

​

I track your progress through regular check-ins, posture assessments, and mobility tests. We’ll also take before-and-after photos to visually see the changes in your body. Additionally, I provide you with a simple log where you can track your at-home exercises, making it easy to monitor your improvement over time.

​

16. What is the best frequency for scheduling sessions?

For the best results, I recommend scheduling sessions once a week or every other week. This allows us to build upon your progress, make adjustments as needed, and maintain the benefits of the stretches over time. However, we can always tailor the frequency based on your specific goals and schedule.

​

17. Are your sessions safe for pregnant women?

​

Assisted stretching can be beneficial for many pregnant women, but I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new physical therapy or stretching program. If you’re cleared for activity, we can adjust the sessions to ensure comfort and safety, avoiding any positions that might be uncomfortable during pregnancy.

​

18. What if I have a very busy schedule?

​

I understand that life can be hectic! That’s why I offer flexible scheduling for in-home or in-studio sessions. If needed, we can work together to create a customized plan that fits into your schedule, ensuring you still make progress while accommodating your commitments.

​

19. Can you help with posture correction?

​

Yes, posture correction is one of the main areas I focus on. Assisted stretching, combined with targeted exercises, can improve spinal alignment and overall posture. By working on your posture, we can help reduce tension and prevent future discomfort caused by poor alignment.

​

20. Do you offer gift certificates or packages for special occasions?

​

Yes, I offer gift certificates for all services, perfect for birthdays, holidays, or special milestones. They can be customized to fit the recipient’s needs, and they make a thoughtful, unique gift for anyone looking to improve their well-being.
