What is a massage stretch?

The application of Passive Stretch Massage helps to lengthen the fascia increasing circulation to and through it. The release of the fascia’s tight grip on muscular, neural and vascular structures creates an increase in the client’s range of motion as well as a decrease in discomfort or pain.

What kind of massage has stretching?
Thai massage works the entire body using a sequence of movements that are similar to yogic stretching. Your therapist will use their palms and fingers to apply firm pressure to your body. You’ll also be stretched and twisted into various positions. You can wear loose, comfortable clothing during the massage.
Is it good to stretch after massage?
Stretch it out
Following your massage, do a few gentle stretches on your own. This helps release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and improve circulation. It’s also a great way to tune into your body, alleviate stress, and quiet your mind.

Should you stretch or massage first?
Yes! Stretching before a massage is immensely beneficial to reap all the advantages a massage gives. When hoping to receive a sports or rehabilitative massage, stretching beforehand helps to relax the muscles and improve circulation.
