Assisted Stretching, or Personal Stretch Recovery (PSR), is now being offered at Sage Pain & Recovery Alternat
ives with our certified Personal Trainer. We offer 30-minute or 60-minute assisted stretching sessions with a professional stretch specialist who will use Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (“hold-contract-relax”) stretch technique. During your personally tailored stretch session, you will enjoy the benefits of PSR which can include pain management, increasing blood circulation, range of motion and flexibility, releasing tension, improving neuromuscular control, and according to some studies*, reducing mild cognitive decline.
Most people agree that a regular stretching regime has a multitude of benefits. Having a professional assist in a stretching routine is becoming increasingly popular among athletes and individuals with chronic pain. CNN recently did an article** on the benefits of assisted stretching. The article points out that “consistency and guidance” are keys to success. Some individuals have a difficult time committing to a regular routine and some simply cannot perform certain stretches without assistance. Having a professional perform the stretch correctly, and effectively, reduces the risk of injury and increases the positive effects of the stretch.
We will ensure that your stretching regime is tailored to your specific needs and limitations. Whether you want to rehab a lingering injury, improve your posture, or just relax tension due to your work environment, our Personal Trainer can set up an effective stretching routine for you. If you would like to make an appointment, call our office at 919-891-9991 or visit us online at www.sagehealthgroup.com.
In addition to Assisted Stretching, we are also offering:
HUSO Sound Therapy
The HUSO Sound Therapy system involves the application of uniquely enhanced toning sounds and vibrations. Patients wear headphones and pulsating bands on major acupuncture channels in their extremities while the equipment introduces specific modulated frequencies to balance and harmonize the body. Learn more about HUSO Sound therapy here.
PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field) Therapy
During our Vasindux® PEMF therapy treatments, the patient simply lays on a comfortable mat that emits electro-magnetic pulses throughout the body. This gentle stimulation increases circulation and cellular regeneration which promotes healthier tissue and nerves. Learn more about PEMF therapy here.
Community Acupuncture is Back!
We are thrilled to announce that the community acupuncture clinic has been re-opened for evening hours, with weekend hours added in the near future. The community room allows patients access to acupuncture treatments in a semi-private setting at a more cost-effective rate. It also allows couples and friends to attend treatments together.
The community clinic is available for a variety of ailments, but a primary focus is patients suffering from chronic pain, PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, or addiction resulting from pain medications.
Beginning June 20, 2022, you may schedule treatments between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you would like to make an appointment online, click here, or call our office manager at (919)891-9991.
