Is Stretch Therapy Effective?

Many of our patients come to our clinic unaware of the many benefits of stretching therapy. At Balance In Motion Chiropractic, our chiropractor has years of experience providing patients in New York City with the benefits of stretching therapy. Stretching therapy is an effective method of reducing your pain, improving your range of motion, and enhancing your body’s natural healing process. This is especially true when combined with chiropractic care.

What Is Stretching Therapy and How Does It Work?

Stretching therapy is a low-impact stretching program that targets your fascia and muscles to improve your range of motion and to correct imbalances in your body that contribute to chronic pain. Daily exercise helps you maintain your body, keeping you in good shape. Stretching therapy will help you avoid injury and reap the full benefits of daily exercise.

This therapy is used to treat various issues including headaches, back pain, and other conditions related to soft tissue damage. Stretching therapy targets:

• Fascia: Fibrous connective tissue that supports and protects organs and muscles throughout your body.
• Major muscle groups: Pulls and strains from trauma or overuse of major muscle groups including muscles in the back, shoulders, neck, and hamstrings benefit from stretching therapy.

• Ligaments and tendons: Tendons connect muscles to ligaments and bone. Stretching therapy can ease the pain associated with injuries to ligaments and tendons. This will improve your range of motion over time.

When left unaddressed, musculoskeletal injuries can progress into chronic pain conditions. This will cause your health and overall quality of life to decline. When you first visit our clinic, our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine whether or not you will benefit from stretching therapy.
