We Know We Should Stretch More But It’s Hard To Actually Do!

Following huge success in Double Bay Sydney, the first Melbourne Stretch studio has opened at 429-433 Toorak Rd, Toorak 3142.

“People tell us they have been searching for this all their lives,” said Margie Lane of Stretch Studios Toorak.  “So many people have failed to find relief from other avenues and tell us that 1 on 1 assisted stretching provides the relief and results that they have been wishing for.  Whether athletes, people who just want to keep fit and healthy or those that really struggle to do much physical exercise at all, our program helps people from all walks of life to achieve their goals for flexibility, mobility and well being.”

Clients book by the Stretch Studios app, phone or drop by for a 20 minute, 30, 40, 50 or 60 minute assisted stretch, a form of static stretching in which a ‘flexologist’ (professional assisted stretcher) exerts gentle force upon the limb to move it into a new position, holding for a specific amount of time in order to lengthen and stretch the muscle fibre and tissue.  This helps to create alignment in the muscle and body and contributes to improved flexibility, increased muscle control and an expanded range of motion.

The benefit are life changing – reduced stress, improved posture, relief for pain and stiffness, improved movement, range of motion and athletic skills, injury prevention and increased mobility. 

Stretching relieves the body of lactic acid, promotes blood circulation, helps the organs to function properly, promotes new cell growth and stabilises blood pressure.  Stretching develops strength through the full range of motion at the joint.  If your muscles are contracted by say 20% then they will only be 80% effective.  Regular stretching will relax 100% of your muscles so you will have 100% of the muscle available for exercise.  

Stretching also has benefits for people with diabetes.  Research has shown that a 40 minute stretch reduces blood sugar levels by 26%.  It is also for people with Parkinson’s, Multilple Sclerosis, Scoliosis and Arthritis.

Stretching speeds up recovery after exercise, improves balance and coordination, makes every day movement easier and less painful, and eases the stress on the spine. Another fascinating thing about stretching is that it leads to the release of endorphins that promote a feeling of calmness and general well being, which is why after a good stretch before bed you will sleep much better. Stretching even helps increase performance in the bedroom by releasing tension and allowing greater movement and flexibility.

Stretch studios is open Monday Wednesday and Friday 8am-7pm, Tuesday and Thursday 8am-8pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 10am-2pm
