Stretch therapy is all about lengthening muscles and increasing your joint mobility. If you suffer from tight muscles or decreased range of motion this is the therapy you need. Your massage therapist may use a percussion gun as a tool to help warm up the muscles quickly and on any areas that are affected by adhesions or scar tissue. These sessions are great for clients that are stuck at a desk all day, athletes, recovering from injury or just struggling to improve their mobility. Decreased range of motion in joints leads to injuries that could be prevented.
