Guided Stretch Therapy (GST)  – GST is a specialized bodywork technique performed on a fully clothed individual, that assists with improving stiffness, reducing tightness, enhancing range of motion, improving flexibility, and reducing pain.

GST slows down the progression of muscle aging, improves the nervous system’s ability to relax, and aides in getting a better night’s sleep.  It is all possible due to the myofascial system being entertwined with the sensory receptors within the muscles, that connect to the spinal cord and the brain.  60 minute session $130.00
