What to Expect

The full body stretching protocol utilizes a gentle stretch technique that your doctor will apply with a series of stretch and hold maneuvers to your major muscle groups one at a time. With the help of our doctors, a controlled and effective stretch is achieved through your tissues. This is performed to enhance flexibility, mobility and range of motion and to promote a comfortable muscle tone. Stretching is such a valuable tool and we believe it plays a large role in enhancing overall health.

Being passively stretched can be very beneficial in itself. You can also utilize this technique to condition your body and build your flexibility until you can more comfortably perform active stretches on your own. In addition to the full body stretching protocol, you can also choose either the “Upper body stretching protocol” or “Lower body stretching protocol” for a more focused treatment.

Stretching Protocol FAQ

What is the Stretching Protocol?

The Stretching Protocol at Complete Care Chiropractic is a guided, therapist-assisted program of static, dynamic, and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretches designed to enhance flexibility, mobility, and range of motion while reducing muscle tension. Sessions are individualized to target the specific muscle groups contributing to a patient's pain, tightness, or movement limitations.

How does assisted stretching work?

A trained therapist supports and positions you while guiding targeted muscles through controlled lengthening. By stabilizing one segment and gently extending another, the therapist achieves a deeper, safer stretch than you can on your own. This relaxes overactive muscles, improves joint mobility, and resets neuromuscular patterns that contribute to chronic tightness and discomfort.

What conditions does the Stretching Protocol help with?

Assisted stretching benefits patients with low back pain, tight hips and hamstrings, neck and shoulder tension, postural imbalances, sciatica, IT band tightness, and reduced athletic performance. It is also used to support injury prevention, athletic recovery, post-rehabilitation conditioning, and as a complement to chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see meaningful improvements in flexibility and pain within 4 to 8 weekly sessions. Patients with chronic tightness, athletic goals, or post-injury rehab may benefit from longer programs. Many continue with periodic maintenance visits every 2 to 4 weeks. At Complete Care Chiropractic in Williamsville, NY, your provider designs a personalized plan after initial assessment.

Is assisted stretching safe?

Yes. When guided by a trained therapist, assisted stretching is safe and well-tolerated. The therapist controls intensity and never forces a stretch beyond the patient's tolerance. It is generally not recommended immediately after acute soft tissue tears, unhealed fractures, or surgical recovery without clearance. Our providers review your history before beginning.

Is the Stretching Protocol covered by insurance?

Assisted stretching is typically billed as part of a chiropractic or therapeutic exercise visit and is covered by many insurance plans, including no-fault auto insurance. Complete Care Chiropractic verifies your benefits before treatment so you know your coverage and out-of-pocket cost up front. Call (716) 580-3577 for a benefits check.
