Stretch Therapy for Pain Relief, Peace, and Calm

This fall I interviewed my pilates and stretch instructor, Robin Truxel. I took private sessions with her when I was pregnant with my second baby, to help my body cope with two back-to-back pregnancies.

We move in habitual ways that cause tightness and friction between tendons, muscles, ligaments and bones, This can cause chronic pain. When we stretch appropriately, we create more space in our body that reduces tension and therefore pain. 

Robin Truxel has personally experienced the power of Stretch Therapy on healing her injuries, and now works with athletes, elderly, pregnant women and mommies, new and old, to help them recovery from the physical stresses of movement and life. 

If you want to get started with stretching, please reach out to Robin to ask her where to begin. She can point you in the direction of books, videos, and other practitioners who can help. She teaches locally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and she will be publishing online trainings soon.  Here is the contact page on Robin's truPilates website: https://www.trupilates.com/contact
