As a New Yorker, you spend your days on the go. Catching the subway, zipping to and from the office, keeping up with your kids, squeezing in a Central Park run—whatever it is that keeps you moving, one thing’s for sure. You could use a good stretch.

Enter Stretch*d, a one-on-one dynamic stretching session with a bodywork pro.

This is stretching like you’ve never done before. In fact, it’s stretching you can’t do for yourself at home. (And it’s just plain luxurious having someone else do it for you.)

Our NYC assisted stretching therapy sessions are designed to restore both physical and emotional well-being through an experience tailored to your age, lifestyle, and body. Our Stretch*rs take into account your goals and needs before every session, targeting just the right areas and loosening muscles you didn’t even know you had.

Our assisted stretching methods build flexibility, ease tension, soothe sore muscles, promote recovery, and alleviate stress. These professional stretching techniques target key muscle groups using scientifically backed exercise science principles. Whether you’re running marathons or typing away at a desk all day, we’ll ease any stiffness and tightness you have. As the day’s anxieties melt away, most clients tell us they leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Move freer and feel better after just one session. So if you’re dealing with tight muscles, muscle soreness, or chronic muscle pain, we can get you into a deeper stretch session. With appointments ranging from 25 to 75 minutes, we fit into your schedule—that means we’re here for hectic weeks, self-care days, and everything in between.

“The body wasn’t built to hold one position for eight hours, and I see the bill for that every week — tight hips, cranky necks, stiff upper backs. You don’t need a gym to undo it. A few targeted stretches scattered through the day genuinely change how you feel by 5 p.m.”
Dr. Pamela Mehta, MD · Chief Medical Officer, Stretch*d · Board-certified orthopedic surgeon

The minute you arrive to a Stretchd location, our expert Stretchrs help create a personalized experience based on your needs. Before the session, we’ll check in with you about problem areas, muscles to target, and overall goals. Then, we’ll get right into one-on-one stretching! From head to toe, our assisted stretching techniques are restorative and oh-so-relaxing. Throughout the session, your Stretch*r will check in to make sure you’re comfortable. There’s no need to warm up or cool down, but we do have a complimentary recovery area with foam rollers, a stall bar, and other stretch aids that you can use before or after each session.

“Passive stretching has a real place — sometimes the most useful thing is to let an external force do the work while your body simply allows the position. The key is staying within a range your tissues can tolerate, not chasing the deepest possible stretch.”Dr. Pamela Mehta, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Stretch*d · Board-certified orthopedic surgeon

Assisted stretching gets you deeper than you can get on your own, because your Stretch*r does the work while you stay relaxed and breathe. Most clients leave feeling looser and moving more freely that same day. The bigger benefit builds with repetition, since regular stretching leads to meaningful, lasting improvements in flexibility and range of motion over several weeks of consistent sessions, so the people who make it a habit are the ones who feel the biggest difference. Every session works head to toe on the areas that get tight from sitting at a desk, training hard, or being on your feet all day, and plenty of clients tell us an hour of hands-on stretching is the most relaxed they’ve felt all week. If you want massage worked into the same hour, Stretch*ssage combines assisted stretching with hands-on massage techniques for a more indulgent version of the session.

If you wouldn’t wear it to the gym, you probably shouldn’t wear it to get stretch*d. Loose T-shirts, athleisure, and sweats are all great choices. Clothes like dresses, suits, and jeans don’t allow for the proper flexibility, so if you’re coming straight from the office, make sure to bring a change of clothes. Also, socks are required for all sessions.

We have convenient changing areas for use before or after your stretch session. There are no showers, although you won’t need them—since we’re doing all the stretching, you won’t break a sweat.

If you’re a returning Stretch*d lover, we recommend arriving 5 minutes before your session so you can check in with your Stretch*r and change clothes if needed. If it’s your first time (yay!), please arrive at least 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork, check out our facilities, and talk with your Stretch*r about specific goals.

We know how New York can be. Between delayed subways, flaky Ubers, and taxi traffic, we recommend leaving early to ensure you have enough travel time. Unfortunately, if you are late, we cannot make up for lost time. Please arrive with enough time to get settled so we can stretch you for as long as possible. Before and after your session, you can also make use of our Flex area. After 15 minutes, your time slot will be made available for booking by other clients. Sessions rescheduled more than 24 hours in advance will be credited to your account for future use (we do not offer refunds). Sessions rescheduled within 24 hours will be forfeited. Missed sessions will be forfeited. Cancellations can be made online, by phone, or by email.
