If you’ve ever felt stiff, tight, or like your muscles just won’t move the way they used to—assisted stretching might be exactly what your body needs. At LIMBR, we help clients unlock their range of motion, reduce pain, and move better through targeted, one-on-one assisted stretching sessions.
If it’s your first time booking, you might be wondering: What actually happens in a session? What should I wear? Will it hurt?
This guide breaks down exactly what to expect in your first assisted stretching session at LIMBR—so you can walk in (and out) feeling confident, relaxed, and ready to move.
Before we get into the session details, let’s clarify what assisted stretching is—and how it’s different from stretching on your own.
Assisted stretching is a personalised, guided experience where a trained specialist manually stretches your body while you stay relaxed. It goes beyond static or passive stretching by focusing on:
Improving range of motion
Targeting tight or overused muscles
Releasing tension and muscular imbalances
Boosting circulation and recovery
At LIMBR, each session is tailored to your body and goals. Whether you’re an athlete, a desk worker, or someone recovering from injury, our goal is the same: get your body moving better.
Once you’ve selected your session time (either through our website or WhatsApp), you’ll receive a confirmation message and all the details you need. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early.
Wear comfortable, stretchy activewear—think leggings, joggers, or shorts with a T-shirt or light top. You don’t need shoes during the session, and there’s no intense workout involved, so dress for ease and movement.
Drink water before your session. Hydrated muscles respond better to stretching, and you’ll feel less sore afterwards.
Our studio is calm, clean, and designed for recovery. You’ll be welcomed by our team and introduced to your stretch specialist, who will guide you through the session.
We’ll begin with a short consultation to understand your:
Daily activity or training routine
Areas of tightness, pain, or discomfort
Movement goals (e.g. improving flexibility, recovering from a workout, or relieving stiffness from desk work)
This is your chance to share how your body feels and what you want to get out of the session.
Before starting, your specialist may assess your posture or ask you to perform simple movements (like shoulder rolls or hamstring reaches) to gauge mobility. This helps identify imbalances or restrictions that need extra focus.
You’ll lie on a cushioned table while your specialist moves your body through various stretches. This is not a massage—but it is hands-on, and you stay relaxed while we do the work.
The stretches may target your:
Hamstrings, quads, and hips
Shoulders and upper back
Lower back and spine
Calves, feet, or neck
Each stretch is held and adjusted based on your feedback. It shouldn’t be painful—but you will feel a deep, productive stretch.
Throughout the session, we may guide you through breathing techniques or light muscle engagement to increase stretch depth. For example, activating a muscle before stretching it helps improve neuromuscular control and long-term mobility.
We constantly check in with you during the session. If a position feels too intense, we adjust. If you have a tighter area, we may spend more time there. Every session is dynamic and tailored to how your body responds.
Once the session ends, we’ll guide you through how your body moved and what progress was made. Most clients feel:
Lighter, more mobile
Relaxed and looser
Less tension or stiffness in problem areas
You might feel a bit sore later in the day—especially if it’s your first session. This is completely normal and shows your body was moved in new, beneficial ways.
Drink plenty of water to help with recovery
Avoid high-impact workouts immediately after your first session
Do light movement the next day (walking, gentle stretching)
It depends on your goals. For general mobility and posture, once a week is a great place to start. If you’re recovering from injury, training hard, or managing chronic pain, 2x per week may be more effective.
Our specialists can help you build a routine based on your body and lifestyle.
Fully guided, no guesswork: You just show up and relax—we handle the rest.
Tailored to you: No two bodies are the same. We treat your individual needs.
Results you can feel: Most clients notice an immediate difference after just one session.
