As the new year approaches and more people prioritize their physical well-being, Stretch Zone offers a specialized service that caters to a wide range of individuals, from athletes to seniors.

Located at 9430 Fry Rd, Ste. 700, Cypress, Stretch Zone provides a unique approach to improving flexibility, mobility and overall body wellness through assisted stretching. Whether you're struggling with everyday movements like tying your shoes or recovering from an injury, Stretch Zone tailors its services to meet your individual needs.

What is assisted stretching?

Unlike conventional stretching methods, Stretch Zone offers a hands-on approach with a team of certified stretch practitioners trained to work with each client on a personal level. The service is open to people ages 14 and up, excluding those who are pregnant or unable to receive a physical stretch due to medical conditions.

“Our goal is simple: to help people of all ages and fitness levels improve their range of motion and mobility,” franchise owner Debbie Alexander said.

Stretch Zone’s services are not one-size-fits-all. The facility offers three membership packages—four, eight or 12 sessions per month—depending on your individual needs. Clients work with practitioners who focus on specific areas of the body that require extra attention.

The process of assisted stretching

When a new client visits, they are greeted with a welcoming atmosphere. The first step is a questionnaire to assess health conditions and areas of concern.

Next, the client is guided through a demonstration on a patented stretch table designed for comfort and safety. The table features adjustable straps to secure the body.

“Our tables are unique because they allow us to secure the client in place during the stretch, which is crucial for both safety and effectiveness. This stability lets us apply a deeper, more controlled stretch, ensuring that the client gets the maximum benefit while minimizing the risk of injury,” Alexander said.

Stretch Zone’s stretching method is adaptive, with a three-five-seven system used to gauge each client’s comfort level. A stretch rated as a three is light, five is medium and seven is more intense. This feedback-driven approach allows clients to feel in control of their session while ensuring they get the appropriate level of stretch for their needs.

“We work with our clients to meet their individual needs, but it’s crucial that we ensure everyone is medically cleared before starting a stretching program,” Alexander said. “If a client is recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic pain, we require a doctor's clearance to make sure that stretching is appropriate for their condition. Once they’re cleared, stretching can be a powerful tool to help restore mobility and relieve discomfort.”

Fostering community

Stretch Zone’s commitment goes beyond simply providing physical relief—it’s about creating a positive, supportive environment for all clients while giving back to the community.

“We’re excited to help new clients feel better, but we also want to give back to the community in meaningful ways,” Alexander said. “We partner with local charities to bring health and wellness to those in need, whether it's through wellness events, outreach programs or offering our services to underserved populations.”

Getting started with Stretch Zone

For those interested in trying out Stretch Zone, the process is simple. New clients can schedule an introductory session by visiting the website, calling the studio or emailing the team. During the first visit, clients experience a stretch demonstration and learn more about the benefits of regular stretching. Pricing is provided after the session to ensure clients are comfortable and satisfied with their experience before committing.

Whether you’re looking to recover from an injury, prevent one or simply feel more flexible in your daily routine, Stretch Zone can help you reach your goals.
