About this session

What remedial + assisted stretch actually does

This session pairs remedial massage with guided PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching — contract-relax techniques where you briefly engage the muscle against my resistance, then let go into a deeper, safer stretch.

It suits anyone who feels tight no matter how much they stretch on their own, and anyone whose range matters: dancers, aerialists, martial artists, lifters and people returning to training after time off.

What happens in a session

Three parts, every time.

1
Structural assessment
Where is the restriction really coming from — muscle, joint capsule or nervous-system guarding?
2
Targeted deep tissue
Release work on the areas that are limiting range.
3
Assisted PNF stretching
Contract-relax stretching through the new range so it sticks.

Questions

Before you book

What is PNF stretching?

A method where you contract the muscle against gentle resistance for a few seconds, then relax — the nervous system lets the muscle lengthen further than passive stretching allows.

I'm hypermobile — is this safe?

Yes, with the right approach. For hypermobile bodies I focus on control and stability at end range rather than pushing for more range. I am hypermobile myself, so this is a session I have refined on my own body.
