Montgomery's executive and professional population tends toward tight hip flexors and thoracic restriction from hours at a desk — exactly what assisted stretching addresses. We focus on correcting the forward-head posture and rounded shoulder pattern that builds up over years of computer work.
What Assisted Stretching Addresses
Assisted stretching is a therapist-facilitated flexibility practice in which the practitioner moves your joints through their range of motion and applies controlled stretch to the target muscles and their fascial connections. The key difference from self-stretching is neuromuscular: a trained therapist uses proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), active isolated stretching (AIS), and passive ROM techniques that exploit the nervous system's own inhibition reflexes to achieve depth of stretch that the muscle's self-protective mechanisms would ordinarily prevent.
- Achieves greater range of motion gains than solo stretching — in a single session
- Corrects anterior pelvic tilt, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture from desk work
- Restores hip flexor, hamstring, thoracic, and shoulder mobility
- Reduces injury risk by addressing movement restrictions before they cause compensation patterns
- Improves athletic performance through better movement economy and power transmission
- Maintains mobility and independence in older adults
Assisted Stretching for Montgomery Clients
Several Montgomery golfers have found that assisted hip and thoracic stretching has improved both their swing rotation and reduced back pain during rounds at nearby courses.
