Welcome to Stretch Zone
Kierland
Give your body what it deserves.
We are all familiar with the difficulties of soreness and muscle tension but an alarmingly small number of us do anything about it. Many of us just assume it will go away on its own and although the pain and tightness may dissipate over time, the lasting effects remain. If you want to keep your body functioning at optimal levels regardless of age, assisted stretching is the way to go.
Even if you stretch on your own, your body’s natural stretch reflex prevents you from getting the full motion you need to unlock the most benefits. That’s where our stretch therapists in Kierland come in. We use our proprietary Stretch Zone Method® to re-educate your muscles and unlock your full range of motion.
Our system works for two reasons. For starters, it requires no effort on your part, just lean back, relax, and let our Stretch Zone experts in Kierland do all the work. Secondly, we cater to the needs of your body. We determine your level of flexibility and provide a therapy that is designed to meet your individual needs.
In some cases, that can be as simple as taking you through some lower back stretches in Kierland. In other cases, it can mean providing stretches for sciatica in Kierland. Regardless of the practitioner-assisted stretch you need, we’re here for you.
Effortlessly improving your physical health.
- – Move with ease
- – Release the tension

The Stretch Zone Method® addresses flexibility from a neurological perspective. This is achieved by dealing with the muscle’s nervous tension (“tonus”) to reach an optimal active range of motion. The goal is not to make a person more “flexible” or “elastic,” but rather enable you to move more functionally by re-establishing a more ideal resting muscle tone. By re-educating the associated nerve-muscle reflex, the Stretch Zone Method® leads to movement becoming easier and more efficient.
Rather than creating soreness by pulling on our limbs to extremes, the Stretch Zone Method® works through the nervous system to achieve lasting gains in flexibility and range of motion. The method rests on the notion that changing and re-educating our muscle’s nervous energy is a major factor in unleashing our body’s intended function. This nervous energy, known as the stretch reflex, is our body’s automatic defense against the dangers of over-stretching. Any movement that goes too fast or too far, or is held for too long, will cause your body to resist with the stretch reflex. Once the reflex is activated, your body has effectively said “no more” and resists the stretch. Any further attempt at stretching becomes counter productive and may even cause long term damage.
