During the first session we will work on all areas.  Upon completion of the session, based upon your specific flexibility, problem areas and activities you participate in, we can focus more of our attention on specific areas.  It is important to not only work on problem areas, but on good areas as well so as not to create an imbalance.

The 20-minute session may be a full-body stretch or a myofascial release stretch or a combination of the two if we are focusing on an area.  As an example, many runners focus most of their session on their legs. During a traditional 20-minute stretch session the body is taken 108 stretches covering every major muscle group using PNF and passive stretching techniques.

Traditionally a 20-minute session includes the full-body stretch. The 40-minute session includes the full body myofascial release stretch followed by the PNF stretch and passive stretch.

A 60-minute session starts with the 40-minute stretch and continues with additional time to focus on specific areas of the body.  This is the best choice for those who truly want to maximize their results.

The Lock & Stretch is our full-body myofascial release developed exclusively for Stretch U studios. The Lock & Stretch technique locks down your fascia while stretching your muscle to release the tissues and increase circulation for the entire body.

Everything we do is spine neutral and spine supported so we don’t manipulate, twist, or adjust the back or neck. However, we work on the fascia of the trapezius and muscles around the neck.

We recommend coming in twice per week for a 40-minute session to see maximum benefits. We also encourage some stretching on your own in between sessions.

Please cancel 24 hours in advance to the scheduled appointment time.  However, if you find out at the last minute that you will not be able to make your appointment please use the scheduling app or call us so that the space may be freed for other customers.  Over half of our customers use the scheduling app, and many schedule last minute appointments that were previously unavailable.

Generally, we are unable to accept walk-ins as we are busy with clients.  If you are interested in an appointment either call, or download the StretchU St. louis scheduling app.  The scheduling app will allow you to see in real time if an appointment is available and will allow you to schedule yourself.

All our stretch technicians have a background in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, or a related field. Our technicians complete an extensive training on our techniques before they can work with clients in studio.

Loose-fitted clothing, leggings, or exercise apparel works best for stretching. Do not wear tight jeans.  We have changing areas if needed, but business casual works too.

No. We have an open concept with tables near each other.

Depending on how late one shows up and the schedule immediately following the appointment, showing up late may result in either a shortened session or no session at all.

Simply let us know when setting up the appointment. If there is not one available on the day you request, we will find another day that works for you.

Yes.
