Flexiotherapy Session

Flexiotherapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on improving flexibility, mobility, and range of motion in the body. It often involves a combination of stretching exercises, manual therapy techniques, and other modalities to address muscle tightness, joint stiffness, and movement restrictions. Flexiotherapy aims to enhance overall physical function and reduce pain or discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions. The flexiotherapist plays a crucial role in evaluating, assessing, and addressing limitations in joint and muscle movement, aiming to reduce the risk of injuries, and aid in their recovery. A key element of their expertise involves assisted stretching, where they actively aid clients in achieving optimal flexibility positions. This includes hands-on guidance, akin to Thai Massage, stretches both on and off-table, and specific equipment to target and improve flexibility in various muscle groups. Assisted stretching is particularly effective in promoting better range of motion, relieving muscle tension, and addressing specific areas of tightness or imbalance. Another distinctive aspect of their approach is the utilization of tension. The flexiotherapist often incorporates the activation of muscles through flexing just before releasing them. This technique proves effective in significantly enhancing muscle stretching, facilitating a more extensive reach, and providing almost immediate results. In addition to these techniques, the flexiotherapist integrates a diverse range of methods into their session, such as dynamic stretching exercises, deep massage of muscles and connective tissues, joint mobilization techniques, and targeted strengthening exercises. To keep muscles and joints relaxed and warm throughout the entire session, it is advisable to wear comfortable and warm clothing. This comprehensive approach is tailored to the individual's needs, providing personalized guidance and support. Whether the client is an athlete aiming to enhance performance or an individual recovering from injuries, working with a flexiotherapist ensures a unique and effective approach to achieving wellness goals.
