Stretch Therapy
What is stretch therapy?
Stretch Therapy is a form of therapy that involves deep, assisted, passive stretching. It works to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and improve blood flow to the muscles and connective tissue that surround each joint.
It is ideal for those looking to improve tension associated with muscle and joint stiffness, increase range of motion for daily life or sports performance, and generally anyone who wants to move better.
At Axon Chiropractic and Rehab, stretch therapy is performed by a licensed Chiropractor, Dr. Perrin Yiu, and is covered by insurance plans under chiropractic services.
