  • What types of stretching will I receive at iFlex?

    At iFlex, you will receive a stretching that is based on the latest scientific research. We like to call our style Active Stretching. This is because we ask the receiver to actively contract their muscles at certain points in the stretch- so it is active, not passive. This has been shown to be the most effective type of stretching for increasing range of motion. Specifically, active stretching falls in the family of stretching including PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), CRAC (Contract, Relax, Antagonist Contract), MET (Muscle Energy Technique).

  • Why assisted stretching?

    Assisted stretching is more effective than stretching on your own. With assisted stretching, your body receives the resistance feedback it needs to lengthen muscles and relieve tight joints for increased range of motion, flexibility, pain relief, and more that supports an active lifestyle.

  • What should I wear?

    We recommend that clients wear clothing they would feel comfortable stretching in such as loose, soft clothing, or something they would wear to workout or do yoga in for maximum comfort during your assisted stretching session.

  • How often should I get stretched?

    The needs of every individual are unique but consistency offers the best results. We offer convenient membership packages to accommodate any lifestyle, goals, and budget.

  • Can stretching help reduce my pain?

    Assisted stretching can reduce and relieve pain by targeting muscle spasms, sore and tight joints and muscles, and more. Assisted stretching may be able to relieve both chronic and acute pain.

  • Are there age restrictions?

    We welcome people of all ages! Anyone of any age can benefit from assisted stretching. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian who will have to sign our waiver.

  • Who are the stretch therapists?

    All our stretch therapists are heath-care practitioners licensed with the state of Arizona(or nationally), whether they are massage therapists, personal trainers, physical therapy assistants, or yoga teachers. Each Stretch therapist also undergoes a multiple day training and certification process (both online and in person) where they learn the iFlex stretch and evaluation process. You can trust that our Stretch Therapists are knowledgeable and sensitive to your individual needs.
