What is Guided Stretch Therapy?


Guided Stretch Therapy (GST) is a specialized bodywork technique performed on a fully clothed individual, that assists with improving stiffness, tightness, decreased range of motion, and pain.


GST is provided by advanced trained licensed or certified health care practitioners such as Nursing Personnel, Personal Trainers, Medical Technicians, Massage Therapists, Acupressure Practitioners, and Reflexology Practitioners, that have been additionally trained and certified in Guided Stretch Therapy.


Guided Stretch Therapy has been proven to enhance:

  • Range of Motion
  • Flexibility
  • Recovery from Injuries
  • Recovery from Sports


It slows down the progression of muscle aging, improves the nervous system's ability to relax, and aides in the ability to get better sleep.


It is all possible due to the myofascial system being entertwined with the sensory receptors within the muscles, that connect to the spinal cord and the brain.


Properly guided static stretching allows the nervous system and muscular system to work in synchronicity.
