Stretch Zone Atlanta

Our Story

Most people are not fully aware of their slow and steady loss of flexibility. Thanks to the modern sedentary lifestyle, starting around 30 something most lose flexibility at an average rate of 1% a year. The cumulative repetition of strains and micro-stresses compounded over time can cause muscles to become “glued together. This “glue” or scar tissue tightens the surrounding tissue and inhibits our range of motion. It doesn’t take many years until the sn*******ng loss of flexibility ages you.

Stretch Zone’s isolation of individual muscles within a muscle group breaks up the “glue” and unwraps the strangle hold that one’s own body has on their posture and valuable energy. This restores free movement and balance back to the body. With proper stretching, you slow down the aging process and even grow younger by improving posture, circulation and easy pain free full range of motion.

Stretch Zone is not in the business of making people more flexible. Well, not at least by the traditional definition of flexibility. Stretch Zone is in the business of re-educating the associated nerve-muscle reflex, which can enhance one’s own ability to move more functionally, with greater active range of motion, and with less effort. You see, our goal is not to make you more “flexible” or “elastic”, but to increase one’s active range of motion, so that you can move further before you even feel a stretch. Stretch Zone works through the nervous system to achieve lasting “flexibility” gains.

Due to sedentary lifestyles and over worked and stressed muscles, people develop excessive resting muscle residual tension or “tonus.” When you flex a muscle, you create excessive tonus in the muscle for just a moment. When you leave the gym with a pump you have excessive resting muscle tonus for an hour or so. A certain amount of resting muscle tonus is necessary to keep form and posture. But when you have excessive resting tonus, movement becomes more difficult and cumbersome. Many people walk around tight and stiff every hour of every day and it’s not from the gym. Stretch Zone works with the central nervous system to re-establish a more ideal resting muscle tone. Stretch Zone is not just about increasing one’s range of motion but in making movement more efficient, effortless, and pain free.
