Our approach is customized to your needs and pace, with open communication encouraged.
For hypermobile individuals, we focus on setting healthy boundaries for range of motion and building muscle strength.

We recommend stretching at least once per week for noticeable, long-term benefits.
Ideally, 3 times per week or more is beneficial.
Regular self-stretching and exercise are also encouraged.

How Can I Pay for Stretches?

Stretches can be paid for by the employer, employee, or a combination of both.
We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, or HSA.
Flexible payment options include billing employees directly or invoicing the company.

Should I Workout Before or After Getting Stretched?

Personal preference determines whether to workout before or after stretching.
Some find they are more flexible post-exercise, while others feel invigorated and ready to exercise after stretching.
Discuss your pre and post-workout plans with your practitioner for optimal results.

Does Onsite Stretch Have a Physical Location?

No, we operate without a physical studio to offer more convenient and accessible services.
We bring stretching directly to your location, saving time and reducing costs.

Do I Need to Sign a Waiver Before Being Stretched?

Will I Be Sore After My Stretch?

Post-stretch soreness varies by individual and session intensity. Practitioners check in during the session to adjust intensity and ensure comfort. Some soreness might occur, especially in initial sessions, but should be minimal.

What Is A Mobility Assessment

An assessment is typically conducted during your first stretch.
Methods include joint-to-joint evaluation or fascia mobility assessment (FMA).
The assessment looks at tension, imbalance, and body response to movement.
We aim to help you achieve your personal goals, whether it’s touching your toes, doing the splits, or improving balance and reducing pain.

Will You Give Me Stretches to Do at Home?

We provide referrals to online resources and websites for at-home stretches. It is essential that you listen to your body and consult with a medical professional before beginning any mobility or wellness activities.

What Can I Do To Make My Stretch Better?

Drink Water: Stay hydrated before and after your stretch.
Breath: Controlled breathing helps relax muscles for better movement.
Visualize: Picture the muscle moving through its full range of motion.
Communication: Always inform your practitioner about how you’re feeling.
