Restore Flexibility, Ease Tension, and Move Freely with Assisted Stretching in Lake Forest, IL

If stiffness, tight muscles, or limited mobility are slowing you down, assisted stretching can help you regain ease of movement, prevent injury, and feel your best. At Wellness Solutions, we provide hands-on, personalized stretching sessions designed to improve flexibility, support recovery, and help you move pain-free—no matter your age or activity level.

Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from surgery, or managing chronic pain, our expert team tailors each session to your needs using proven techniques that deliver lasting results.

Personalized Assisted Stretching in Lake Forest

Assisted stretching goes beyond traditional stretching by using therapist-guided techniques to achieve deeper, more targeted results. At Wellness Solutions, we help clients facing:

  • Tight Muscles & Limited Flexibility – Improve range of motion in hips, shoulders, spine, and legs
  • Sports Injuries & Overuse – Support healing from strains, sprains, and repetitive-use tension
  • Post-Surgical Stiffness – Restore movement and reduce scar tissue after orthopedic procedures
  • Chronic Pain Conditions – Relieve muscle tightness linked to low back pain, neck stiffness, or fibromyalgia
  • Aging-Related Mobility Loss – Enhance balance, joint movement, and independence as you age

Each session is fully customized to restore optimal movement and reduce long-term discomfort.

Deeper, Safer, and More Effective Stretching

Our assisted stretching sessions use advanced techniques that target the root causes of tightness and limited mobility:

  • Passive Stretching – You relax while we gently guide your muscles into deeper stretches to reduce stiffness
  • PNF Stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) – Contract-and-release techniques that enhance flexibility and neuromuscular coordination
  • Active-Assisted Stretching – You participate in the stretch while we assist, improving control, strength, and balance

By addressing muscle and fascial tension directly, we help improve posture, relieve discomfort, and enhance performance in everyday activities.

What to Expect from Assisted Stretching at Wellness Solutions

Your first visit starts with a full assessment, including your flexibility goals, activity level, and current concerns. Your therapist then creates a personalized plan using guided stretches that target key muscle groups and problem areas.

Throughout the session, we monitor your comfort and progress, adjusting each stretch to your needs. Most clients leave feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile after just one visit. With regular sessions, those improvements only grow.

3. Improves Circulation & Recovery
Enhances blood flow to muscles, accelerating healing after workouts or injury.
