Benefits of Professional Stretching
There are many ways that stretching can help to improve your performance both before and after rehabilitation:
1. It helps to reduce the chances of injuries. Correct stretching can help to prepare muscles and other soft tissues for the work that awaits them.
2. It helps to improve or maintain your range of motion. Proper stretching will prevent tightening of muscles. With good range of motion, you can avoid injury and improve your performance as an athlete.
3. It can help to increase muscle tone. Proper stretching helps to strengthen muscles by applying passive resistance. Your body will gain muscle tone, resilience and strength as a result.
4. It can help to decompress the spine and other joints. This prevents the occurrence of injuries. It also accelerates recovery from injuries.
Stretching the right way
Stretching is a vital part of any path to wellness and fitness. Stretching targets fascia and muscles to improve circulation and increase flexibility. It is even more important for athletic individuals who put their bodies to the test constantly. Correct stretching is critical for any athlete who wants to achieve the highest level of performance.

Meredith Murray
Highly recommend Greiner Physical Therapy. Very thorough — they take the time to understand the problem, in the initial consultation and on-going through the therapy. With three physical therapists analyzing the problem, even the most complicated, intertwined pain source is tracked down. They have an extraordinarily varied range of exercises to ease and cure.

Greiner Physical Therapy provides excellent fitness classes in a professional environment. Turn and Burn helps maintain and increase my mobility for both tennis and pickleball. Under Seth’s close supervision the circuit training was both challenging and fun.
