What is Assisted Stretch Therapy?
Assisted stretching is a specialized flexibility training technique where a trained professional guides your body through controlled stretches while you remain relaxed on a comfortable table. Unlike self-stretching, assisted stretch therapy allows you to achieve deeper muscle lengthening and a greater range of motion through proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques.
During your Burlington stretch therapy session, our healthcare providers use hands-on methods to:
- Target tight muscles and restricted fascia more effectively than solo stretching
- Apply gentle resistance and controlled pressure to increase flexibility safely
- Customize each stretch sequence to your specific mobility goals and limitations
This clinical approach to flexibility training is ideal for athletes, office workers with tight hips and shoulders, active adults experiencing age-related stiffness, and anyone recovering from injury or managing chronic muscle tension.
Improved Flexibility & Mobility
Professional stretch therapy increases muscle elasticity and joint range of motion beyond what self-stretching can achieve. Our PNF techniques trigger neurological responses that allow deeper, safer stretching for lasting flexibility gains.
Reduced Muscle Tension & Pain Relief
Targeted fascial stretching alleviates chronic tightness from desk work, repetitive movements, or intense training. Burlington clients report significant relief from lower back pain, tight hip flexors, stiff necks, and shoulder tension after consistent sessions.
Enhanced Athletic Performance
Athletes at all levels use assisted stretching to optimize muscle function, improve movement efficiency, and increase power output. Better mobility means better technique, whether you're running, cycling, playing hockey, or hitting the gym.
Injury Prevention & Recovery
Supple muscles and fascia are far less prone to strains, tears, and overuse injuries. Stretch therapy accelerates post-workout recovery by improving circulation and reducing muscle soreness, keeping you active and pain-free longer.

Personalized Mobility Assessment: 5-7 minutes
Your healthcare provider (stretch therapist) evaluates your current flexibility, identifies restricted areas, and discusses your goals—whether that's reducing pain, improving athletic performance, or maintaining healthy aging mobility.
Customized Stretch Therapy Session
You relax on a comfortable stretch table while your kinesiologist guides your body through a tailored one-on-one sequence. Using PNF techniques, we stretch major muscle groups including hip flexors, hamstrings, IT bands, shoulders, chest, and spine. You don't do any work—we handle everything.
Home Stretching Plan (if interested): 3-5 minutes
Receive personalized recommendations for maintaining your flexibility between sessions. Most Burlington clients see best results with weekly or bi-weekly stretch therapy appointments initially, then monthly maintenance.
Licensed Healthcare Providers & Kinesiologists, Not "Flexologists"
Every Propel stretch therapy session is delivered one-on-one by a regulated healthcare professionals: physiotherapists, registered massage therapists, or kinesiologists with university training in anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical movement. Franchises train staff in generic stretch protocols—we use evidence-based clinical techniques practiced by licensed professionals.
Insurance Coverage Available
Because our assisted stretch therapy is available through licensed healthcare professionals, many extended health insurance plans cover our services. Franchise studios don't offer insurance billing—you pay 100% out-of-pocket. At Propel, many clients pay nothing for their sessions. Please call to see how you may be eligible for coverage through your benefits.
No membership fees or commitments
Book single sessions as needed or purchase packages—zero contracts, zero monthly memberships. Pay only for the appointments you want, when you want them.
Clinical Integration & Expertise
As a comprehensive health center, we coordinate your stretch therapy with chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage therapy and rehabilitation. Your treatment is clinically supervised, not just a standalone wellness service.
More Affordable
$58-$80 per session vs. $80+ at stretch studios, plus our insurance billing option means many Burlington clients may pay nothing out of pocket for stretch therapy. Better credentials, better value.
