What is assisted stretching?
Stretching, done with you.
Assisted stretching is a guided, hands-on approach to flexibility. Rather than holding stretches entirely by yourself, you work with a practitioner who supports your limbs and helps position your body through comfortable movements. You give feedback throughout so every stretch can be adjusted to suit you.
It is a practical option if you know you should spend more time on mobility but are not sure where to begin, struggle to stretch certain areas by yourself, or simply appreciate one to one guidance. Sessions take place at Exhale Osteopathy in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
Why assisted stretching?
Why not just stretch at home?
Stretching on your own is worth doing, and we will encourage you to keep it up. An appointment adds things that are hard to give yourself.
Independent stretching still has real value. Many clients use both: guided sessions for focus and feedback, and a short routine at home in between.
Benefits
What you could gain.
Everyone arrives with different goals. These are the ones we hear most, explained in everyday terms.
01
Flexibility you can use
Reaching a high shelf, tying your laces without perching, sinking into a deeper squat. We focus on the ranges that matter in your week rather than chasing a party trick.
02
Hips that move more freely
Your hips are involved every time you squat, bend to lift, pedal or change direction on the pitch. We look at how yours move and work on the directions that feel restricted.
03
Less of that tight feeling
Hamstrings after a long run, calves after the gym, an upper back after a desk day. Stretching can ease how tight an area feels, although responses vary from person to person.
04
Guidance, not guesswork
A clinician chooses each stretch, controls the intensity with you and gives you a short routine to keep things going between sessions.
Why Stretch Birmingham
What a clinician brings to your stretch.
Every session is delivered by an osteopath or physiotherapist from Exhale Osteopathy. In practice, that means:
- They read how you move.If your squat is limited, the screen shows whether the hips, ankles or both are holding you back, so the session targets the right area.
- They choose the right position for you.The same goal can need a different stretch if you have a stiff back or a knee that does not like deep bending.
- They know when to hold back.If something does not behave like ordinary tightness, they will tell you, and point you towards the right appointment instead.
- They are backed by an established clinic.Exhale has a team of around ten osteopaths, physiotherapists and therapists across Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield.
Who it is for
Made for your week.
01
Sport and the gym
Runners, cyclists, golfers, footballers and lifters all ask different things of their bodies. A runner may want freer calves and hips, a golfer more rotation, a lifter a more comfortable squat. We tailor the session to your sport.
02
Office workers and drivers
When much of your day is spent sitting, it is easy to go hours without moving through your available range. Give your hips, chest and shoulders dedicated attention.
03
Anyone who wants to move more easily
You do not need to be athletic or flexible. If stretching on your own feels awkward, or you would rather have one to one guidance than a group class, this is for you.
How it works
Four simple steps.
01
Talk about your goals
Tell us what feels tight, what you do in your week and what you would like to get from your sessions.
02
Movement screen
Your clinician looks at how you move so they can decide where to focus. It is not a pass or fail test.
03
Guided assisted stretch
Relax on the treatment table while each stretch is positioned and held for you. Tell us your number, 0 to 10, at any time.
04
Advice to take home
Leave with a few simple stretches for between sessions, then book a full 50 minute follow-up or a shorter 25 minute focused session.

Frequently asked questions
No. Assisted stretching is a guided flexibility service. Although your session is delivered by an osteopath or physiotherapist, it is not a substitute for assessment or treatment of an injury or medical condition.
Not at all. We work from your current level; there is no flexibility test to pass.
You may feel a clear stretching sensation, but you should never be pushed into sharp pain. Your practitioner adjusts the position and intensity using your feedback on a 0 to 10 scale.
Your first 50 minute appointment costs £70 and includes a movement screen. Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes for £70, or 25 minutes for £40 if you want a shorter, focused session.
Please tell us before booking. Depending on your symptoms and medical history, a clinical assessment with Exhale Osteopathy may be more appropriate.
Loose, comfortable gym clothing you can move in: leggings, yoga pants, joggers or shorts with a T-shirt, and a sports bra if you like. You stay fully clothed throughout.
There is no fixed schedule. Some people book every week or two while working towards a goal, others come occasionally alongside their own routine. We will talk it through after your first visit. How often should you stretch?
