Assisted stretching is a hands-on stretching technique where I guide you through a series of stretches to help improve flexibility, ease muscle tension and encourage greater mobility.

Unlike stretching on your own, I use a range of techniques to gently guide your body into stretches you may find difficult to achieve independently, always working within your comfort level and ability.

During a session, you’ll usually be lying down on a massage table, although some stretches may be carried out seated. I’ll guide you through a series of stretches tailored to your individual needs and goals, helping you feel more relaxed, mobile and connected to your body.

Depending on your injury, I can most likely work around it and still give you a great stretch therapy or Pilates session. After you book, you’ll be emailed a consultation form to complete where you can leave further details about your injury. Once I know more I can give you some advice on whether the session will be right for you.

Although it is still completely safe to stretch during pregnancy, deep stretching is not always recommended. The relaxin hormone released during pregnancy relaxes your muscles, joints and ligaments. Because of this, I recommend Pilates over Stretch Therapy through pregnancy. We can incorporate stretching within the Pilates sessions so you can feel supported through this time, as well as relaxed. Unfortunately I do not offer percussive therapy to my pregnant clients.

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy.

If you have to late cancel your stretch therapy or Pilates session (under 48 hours), you will be charged 50% of your total session cost.

After you book a stretch, your location will be confirmed 24-48 hours before your session via email. Please ensure you have the correct address before you arrive as all of my studio spaces are on the same road.

Anything you’re comfortable in! As long as you can move freely and can stretch you’re good. Activewear is best.

All packages have a 6 month expiry from date of purchase. Email movewellwithell@gmail.com for any package queries.

Please make sure you’re hydrated. If you want to exercise you’re best to do this BEFORE a stretch and not after. Deep stretching encourages relaxation of the muscles, so performance can be impacted within 24 hours of your stretch.

After your stretch, try to avoid higher intensity workouts and stick to low impact e.g. Pilates, Yoga, Walking. Keep hydrated and bear in mind you may be slightly more tender for the next 48 hours if you aren’t used to stretching in this way.
