Assisted Stretching: Flexibility Training

Mobility and flexibility is a critical component of physical performance and is equally important for your overall health. Simply “stretching” may not be enough or as effective as the techniques trainers can offer. In a series of 15-minute sessions, our trainers employ a variety of partner-assisted stretching and foam rolling techniques to maximize your results.

Benefits may include:

  • Reduced arthritic symptoms
  • Improved physical performance
  • Improved posture and range of motion
  • Decreased deterioration of joints
  • Reduced risk of pain (low back, joints, muscles)
  • Improved muscle coordination and overall movement

Express Mobility is purchased in bundles of four, 15-minute sessions.
$60 (package of 4 sessions)
