Been doing strength training with personal trainer it has been fantastic as results but I tend to get really tight and sore for a few days afterwards.
Been hesitant to go to one of those stretch therapy places as Im curious to know of anyone who’s done it at those facilities like stretchlab/stretchworkz/ stretchzone. Have they seen a good outcome? Worth it? Any recommended person? |

| I just do yoga and ballet stretches at home. |

| Do yoga yourself instead. Lots of great and free you tube videos |

| Those places are such a scam. Feels good in the moment but no lasting benefits. |

| My local ND had a lot of negative things to say about stretchlab. I read somewhere (maybe DCUM) that you need one yoga session for each strength training session. I strength train 3x week and do yoga 3-5x per week. I've been strength-training for 15 years and added the yoga about 2 years ago. Yoga has made a huge difference - and I was a yoga nay-sayer for years. |

| Stretching without strength training is useless. Temporary relief without lasting benefits. |

| Yin yoga does this. |

Why inthe world do you think OP would do this and nothing else? |

+1 My physical therapist pointed out that he's insured and they are not. Since I can't afford PT forever, I learned all the stretches myself. |

| Waste of time. You want strength through range of motion. Stretching like what these places do is for the feels. |

Exactly what I was gonna say. It's fabulous for flexibility. It's all about holding the stretches. |

| Neural movement in Rockville is awesome at both. |

| My physical therapist told me he’s seen several patients who’ve been injured by these stretch lab places. Not worth the risk. |
