The Importance of Stretching
- 1
Stretching: Perform gentle and targeted stretches for the muscles that feel tight. Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat a few times.
- 2
Foam rolling: Use a foam roller to massage and release tension in the muscles. Roll slowly and evenly over the tight area, applying moderate pressure.
- 3
Sauna Therapy: a fully enclosed pod heating up to 130 degrees with surrounding red light. This type of recovery helps with sleep, muscle soreness, circulation, decrease chronic fatigue, weight loss, detoxification, relaxation and has anti-aging skin benefits.

Active rest: Engage in light physical activity or movement to promote blood flow and loosen up tight muscles. This could include walking, gentle stretching, or low-impact exercises.
- 5
Stretch Session: Fit & Functional trainers are able to perform stretching session. While each client receives a brief period of stretching after each private session, we also offer full stretch sessions (30 or 45 minutes in length). These can be purchased per session, packs, or by signing up for a stretch membership.
If muscle tightness persists or is accompanied by pain or other symptoms, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
