What Is The
Stretch Method®

Experience True Freedom with The Stretch Method®

The Stretch Method® is a hands-on assisted movement system designed to restore joint motion, reactivate deep stabilizing muscles, and improve how the body moves as a whole.

Instead of stretching muscles in isolation, certified Stretch Mobility Coaches™ guide joints through controlled ranges of motion, test muscle activation, and apply targeted loading so flexibility and strength actually hold. This approach addresses the root cause of stiffness, tightness, and recurring aches by restoring healthy joint glide and the muscle support that protects it.

The Stretch Method® is wellness-based and non-medical. It is designed for people who want to move better, stay mobile as they age, and stop guessing with stretching or exercise.

By restoring joint motion and muscle support, the Stretch Method® helps people move with more ease, confidence, and control.

How The Stretch Method® Works

Restore Joint Motion First

When joints lose motion, the nervous system reduces stability and muscles tighten to protect the area. Stretch Mobility Coaches™ use assisted movement techniques to restore healthy joint glide that the body cannot regain on its own.

Build Support So Results Hold

Targeted loading and simple home guidance help rebuild muscle support and prevent the body from returning to compensation patterns.

Support Recovery Between Sessions

Red light therapy may be used to support cellular recovery and help the body adapt between sessions.

Who The Stretch Method® Is For

The Stretch Method® is for people who want to protect their mobility, independence, and movement confidence over time.

It is a strong fit if you:

Feel stiff, tight, or sore regularly

Have joints that feel locked or restricted

Experience recurring aches or post-workout stiffness

Feel like your flexibility and movement are declining with age

Want to understand what’s happening in your body instead of guessing

This approach is wellness-based and non-medical. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and does not replace physical therapy or medical care.

Our assessments evaluate the health of your joints, muscles, and nervous system to create an individualized wellness program that reconditions the entire system.

How is The Stretch Method® Different From Traditional Treatments?

The Stretch Method® (TSM) offers a wellness-focused, non-medical approach that evaluates the health and function of your joints, muscles, and nervous system.

Discomfort and stiffness are often early signs of movement system imbalances. Through a personalized assessment, a Stretch Mobility Coach designs a program focused on restoring optimal function, helping you move freely without relying on daily stretches, braces, or other modifications.

At TSM, we believe that mobility and enjoyment of life are possible at any age. Our approach addresses the root causes of movement restrictions, helping prevent future limitations and promoting lasting improvements in function. Whether you want to stay active, play harder, or simply move better, TSM is designed to enhance your quality of life through functional, wellness-based care.

How Soon Will I See Results?
