What is AquaStretch? 

Aquastretch is a hands-on buoyancy-assisted aquatic manual therapy. What separates this technique from land-based passive manual therapy is that AquaStretch uses buoyancy and intuitive movement to assist in patient recovery.

AquaStretch is a myofascial release technique. Fascia is a connective tissue that lies beneath the skin and encapsulates; as well as separates, muscles and organs. This tissue essentially acts like a spider web throughout the whole body. One AquaStretch technique can often provide relief in more than one area of the body.

This technique has many applications such as decreasing pain, increasing range of motion and improving sport performance. Many patients report that they also have improved quality of sleep. Outstanding results have also been seen in patients with long-standing frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), providing significant improvement to shoulder range of motion in as little as one visit.
 

This assisted stretching and myofascial release technique is known to free the body of restrictions that limit flexibility and may cause pain with movement. Having clinically proven results in conditioning, rehabilitation and physical therapy, AquaStretch is an extraordinary type of recovery exercise. Benefits include:

1. Restore Flexibility lost from prior accidents, surgeries, sports injuries or over-training.
2. Increase Wellness Motivation by reducing chronic aches & pains and improving sleep.
3. Decrease Muscle Soreness/Tension due to intense physical training or excessive workouts.
4. Increase Training Efficiency by decreasing recovery time from workout soreness.
5. Help Get “Loose” before competition because of the profound relaxation benefit.
6. Improve Sports Performance by restoring systemic flexibility and reducing pain.​
