what is stretch therapy?
Welcome to Head2Toe Bodystretch and Massage LLC.
Karen West is one of the few certified stretch therapy specialists in WNY.
With decades of Massage & Stretch experience, Karen's focus has centered on stretch therapy and integrating massage for better mobility and total body wellness
We Focus on Two main types of stretch therapy.
Assisted Stretch Therapy: This can be a passive stretch or dynamic where the therapist stretches your body for you while you use your breath to deepen the stretch. This is done on either massage table or mat. Trained and Certified in both the Pliability Stretch Method as well as the Sportstretch® technique
Guided Stretch Therapy: This is an active stretching method where you work with the therapist on a mat. While guided through a stretch routine either in group settings or one-on-one, to optimize your personal goals while learning stretches, you can continue on your own at home or the gym.
Athletic Teams and company events please call for special pricing and we will come to you.

TESTIMONIALS
“Simply the best! Make an appointment, you won't regret it!"
-Lisa O
"Assisted Stretching feels amazing! It takes what a good stretch will do to another level and helps stretch areas that are hard to get on your own. Karen does a great job at assessing your flexibility and working within your body's abilities. Everyone can benefit from stretching. I highly recommend"
