Pin & Stretch Therapy
Pin and Stretch Therapy is an advanced soft tissue technique designed to treat muscle tightness, discomfort, and restricted range of motion. This method targets the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that may be strained or injured, causing pain and limiting your ability to move freely.
​
Unlike traditional massage, Pin and Stretch Therapy involves both compression and movement to release tension. By using targeted pressure (the “pin”) to hold the muscle in place and then guiding the limb or muscle group through a range of motion (the “stretch”), this technique breaks up adhesions, restores flexibility, and improves circulation.

How Chiropractors Use Pin and Stretch Therapy
At our chiropractic clinic, we use Pin and Stretch Therapy as part of a holistic approach to helping our patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve overall mobility.
This therapy is particularly beneficial for conditions such as:
​
-
Muscle tightness from overuse, poor posture, or stress
-
Sports injuries like strains, sprains, or tendonitis
-
Carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, or other nerve entrapments
-
Frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue conditions
We are trained to identify areas of soft tissue dysfunction that may be contributing to your pain. During a Pin and Stretch session, we will locate the affected muscle, apply gentle pressure to the tight or knotted area, and guide the muscle through a stretch to elongate and relax the tissue.

The Benefits of Pin and Stretch Therapy
Pin and Stretch Therapy can provide relief in just a few sessions, but many patients notice improvements after the first visit. Some of the key benefits include:
​
-
Reduced pain and discomfort by releasing tension and relaxing the muscles
-
Increased flexibility and range of motion, helping you move more freely
-
Faster recovery from injuries or muscle strain
-
Improved circulation to enhance healing and reduce inflammation
