StretchLab

The entire StretchLab franchise explicitly values the success of their business more than the betterment of their clients, and they don't try to hide it. The StretchLab philosophy is one of nocebic dependency akin to an old school Chiropractor. You can expect to have your normal biomechanical variance pathologized into a problem it simply isn't by underqualified "Flexologists" using unreliable techniques to gather meaningless data. Expect to be sold membership packages over individual sessions by money hungry snake oil salesman at the front desk, convinced that stretch therapy is a strong mediating factor of pain reduction by individuals who likely don't have the education required to make such claims, and surrounded by mentally malleable geriatric individuals without the wherewithal to make intelligent decisions regarding their own health. You don't need to be a board recognized medical professional to know it isn't necessary to be stretched for 50 minutes, every week. Not only will StretchLab do their best to convince you of this lie, but they believe their service unlocks a level of pain reduction and improved athletic performance which could not be achieved without them. StretchLab does a remarkable job turning the historically non-invasive modality of PNF stretching into a profit oriented, nocebo inducing experience.

I joined the Stretch Lab about 3 months ago, due to sever sciatica issues. Hannah was my flexoligist and she did an awesome job recommending “homework” to encourage my healing. I went for 50 minutes each week and within a week, I felt much better. She continued to help me and stretch me until I no longer had pain! Hannah is very knowledgeable about the muscles and very helpful, always asking if I needed more or less of a stretch. If you or anyone in your family is wondering if this type of stretching could help them, I would absolutely recommend High Desert Stretch Lab. All of the Flexologists are very skilled and willing to help!

I loved this experience so much!!! I had sciatica pain ..It was excruciating!!! I couldn't even walk.. and in a short period of time it was totally gone... Everyone there is so kind and sympathetic,, not to mention the fact that they know exactly how to fix probably anything!!!!I would highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Good people trying to make a difference one stretch at a time! It’s teaching me the importance of a balanced life focusing on how stretching can improve one’s life and experiences being able to move more freely with less pain! Thanks stretch lab

StretchLab is great, especially Adri at their High Desert location on Academy in Albuquerque. I’m 62 and in pretty good shape. I jog, stretch, and do weight training, which created some tightness in my legs and hips which could have messed up a vacation to Japan. So about 2 weeks before the trip I started working with Adri to make sure I had the necessary mobility for it. She started off slowly to find out what I needed and determine what I could handle and sent me home with some daily stretches. Very quickly she progressed to more advanced stretches and more challenging “homework” which did wonders for me. After just 6 visits I was moving more easily, experiencing less pain, and had a set of stretches that made sure I continued improving. My plan was to get into StretchLab about a month before the trip, but of course I got busy and started late. So, Adri could easily have said it was too late but she didn’t. She took on the challenge and cheerfully helped me make some pretty ambitious goals. And it was fun! I highly recommend StretchLab and Adri. Be patient with the admin staff, though, as the StretchLab computer system seems to be hard to work with. And even though the computer was cranky, everybody was great and I was able to get the appointments I needed.
