At 39, recovery is slower than ever. Since beginning lifting again in March, I am now about 95% of my max in all areas from my peak. However, now I need another recovery day per week. Flexibility is down.

Tried the free session there and boy, it was amazing....hit a new career best the next day. Amazing feeling in the back really reversing the pain I feel from squatting the following day.

I did my first paid session today...and it felt good. I assume the benefits will be mostly felt in the first few sessions. I was curious if anyone here has extended it more than a few sessions. I would have to assume the benefits dwindle less and less with every future workout?

That's such a strange business model to me.

I do 30 minutes of stretching everyday.

Don’t need to go to a special place to do it.

I do agree with this...I know i did a very poor job of not incorporating it into my lifting. I feel a noticable loss of ROM. This is not something I plan on doing long-term for sure.

I had a kinda weird experience at one. I had been going to one a few times and one time it was this short German body building type. I told him I had just gotten done with physical therapy and wanted to continue to keep making progress on getting my back the improvement he needed.

And he was like “ok, I have exactly what you need. Listen though, this is not technically improved by stretch zone but I tell you, it is cutting science where I am from.”


I’m sheepishly like “ok….”

And the dude just lays on top of me and starts trying to compress my body. And he I think ended up hurting some organ near my hip or something doing that to.

fricking weird. I know I should have told him to do it by the book but I had no clue what I was agreeing to

Did he at least give you the common courtesy of a reach around?

Bunch of untrained people who should not be touching people in a therapeutic way. The staff at the (free session) stretch zone I went to was one step above working at Popeye’s.

Avoid.

I would probably spend a year trying my absolute best to lock in a stretching routine before I paid other people to do it(I’ve been to stretch zone a couple times).


But if it’s right for you, go for it. Just really ponder all the variables and make your best decision.

I have wondered if maybe he had the real stretcher tied up in the back and he was impersonating him
