How often should you get assisted stretching?

Every week is typical, and anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks is common.

Flexibility improves most with stretching several days a week. A weekly assisted session works best alongside stretching at home in between.

People often come sooner with

  • Starting out
  • Training hard, or a lot of sitting

And later with

  • Stretching on your own most days
  • Keeping up range you’ve already gained

Ask your stretch therapist

This is a typical range, not advice for you. Your stretch therapist will suggest what fits you, and it often changes as you do.

Where this comes from

  1. Garber CE, et al. American College of Sports Medicine position stand: quantity and quality of exercise for healthy adults. 2011. ACSM recommends stretching each major muscle group on at least 2 days a week, for about 60 seconds total per stretch.
  2. Thomas E, et al. The relation between stretching typology and stretching duration: the effects on range of motion. International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018. Range of motion improved more with more stretching days per week, and the authors suggest stretching at least 5 days a week for at least 5 minutes total per week.
