Scotland’s first assisted stretching studio opens in Glasgow

An assisted stretching studio has opened up in Glasgow’s West End - what is officially Scotland’s first clinically led independent service of its kind.

Described as a holistic integration of therapeutic recovery practices with a high standard of service, with stretching carried out by trained professionals.

While this practice is popular among athletes when it comes to post-workout recovery, it can benefit anyone looking to improve health from regular gym goers to those getting older and experiencing new physical challenges.

Assisted stretching aims to target each major muscle group and is offered in 25 minute and 50 minute sessions with membership options available.

The studio also holds a contrast therapy suite which can be used in conjunction with the stretch or on its own.

It includes three cold plunge pools and a tranquil infrared sauna.

Cold water immersion is said to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and improve sleep.

While infrared saunas are said to improve heart health, reduce chronic stress, increase relaxation and improve flexibility.
