StretchLAB aims to make stretching a regular part of self-care routines in the UK through an accessible price point, convenient locations and unrivalled client experience. WHY STRETCH YOURSELF WHEN WE CAN DO IT FOR YOU? Stretching for 50 minutes is a big ask for anyone. Visiting StretchLAB makes the process enjoyable, but more importantly safe and effective. Our expert Stretchologists will take you through various stretches while doing all the hard work for you – building your flexibilty and range of motion leaving you loose and relaxed. WHO SHOULD GET STRETCHED? Assisted Stretching is for every age group, every lifestyle and every body. Whether you’re a gym junkie, desk based office worker, or even a couch potato, everyone can benefit from stretching, and stretching correctly. WHO WILL BE STRETCHING ME? All of our Stretchologists have bodywork experience and are certified in our proprietary stretch method. They come from a variety of backgrounds, including personal training, massage therapy, yoga instruction and professional dance. They are then complete our in house- training with our Director of Education and Head Stretchologist before under going many hands-on practice hours. WHEN SHOULD I GET STRETCHED? Any time is a good time to get stretched! Whether pre- or post- workout, or whether you just need some time to focus on yourself and recover. If you are feeling stiff it’s a great way to get yourself moving again. A pre-workout stretch warms up your muscles, can reduce risk of injury and boost your performance. A post-workout stretch speeds recovery by flushing out metabolic waste, increasing blood flow and lengthening muscles that have just been contracted. On top of it all it’s super relaxing. WHAT TO GET STRETCHED We can take you through a series of stretches that focus on the entirety of the body. This is a great way of getting started. As you work with your Stretchologist together you will be able to identify areas that need extra attention and show them the love the deserve. Alternatively if there is something you already know needs some attention just let us know! WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Anything you are comfortable in, and isn’t too restrictive. What you would wear to work out in is a simple answer. Your Stretchologist will move you into some open positions so please ensure you are concealed. You won’t get sweaty or need to shower. We do ask that our clients wear a fresh pair of socks, which we also have available for purchase in the studio.

London

We are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, learners, teachers and massage therapists. We believe in the profound power of gentle touch at all phases of the human journey, including advanced illness and at the end of life. We are eager to share what we are learning with others who feel called to serve with hearts and hands. Meet the Instructors Our Mission With the support of palliative care and hospice, a growing number of people are choosing the kinds of experiences they want at the end of life. Massage can offer moments of comfort, wellbeing and beauty at a challenging time for patients and their families. Yet most of us are not prepared with the right skills or knowledge to offer this help. Our mission is to offer top-notch education for professional and nonprofessionals who seek to provide safe, supportive touch for people with advanced illness. We also seek to connect people with other exceptional resources to support end-of-life massage – including books, websites, products and other trainings. We are passionately devoted to this mission, because we have seen firsthand the extraordinary benefits of gentle touch during advanced illness and at the end of life. Learn About Documented Benefits Our Classes Final Touch Training is a nationally approved continuing education provider (NCBTMB Provider #1146). Our workshops focus on adapting what therapists and caregivers already know to meet the needs of people with advanced illness, such as: -awareness of “healing agendas” and why these may not be helpful in end-of-life care -the stages of dying, including early decline, late decline and active dying -common symptoms in advanced illness, including pain, anxiety, shortness of breath, edema, skin changes, digestive issues, confusion and nearing death awareness -coping with loss and practical self-care strategies for preventing burnout More About Classes
