New York Stretch Therapy

Our co-founder Ariana Rabinovitch recently spoke with Nia Watson at Women's Health Magazine.

Ariana talked about how stretching can support cardiovascular health and longevity. The piece also touched on research into static stretching and arterial stiffness, and includes a short stretch sequence Ariana put together for the article. Simple movements that make a big difference when done consistently.

Proud of this one. Thank you to Nia and the team for the opportunity.

We’re excited to partner with Tommy McClain for a special Strength + Stretch edition of Barbells Over Bottles.

The evening begins with a 45-minute full-body workout designed to challenge you and get you moving.

After class, we’ll be providing one-on-one assisted stretches on massage tables, giving everyone dedicated time to recover, lengthen, and reset after the work they just put in.

You train.
We stretchyou.
+stay for mocktails, good company.

We appreciate events that value strength and recovery and create space to connect.

Cold-weather rule: don’t go from bed → sidewalk without waking up your body first.

A few minutes of simple movement goes a long way when the temps drop. Before you head out, try:

• Leg swings to get your hips moving
• Shoulder stretches to open things up after sleep
• Short-range lunges to prep your knees and ankles for the city grind

It’s quick. It’s easy. And it keeps you from stepping into the cold feeling locked up.

Move a little now. Feel better all day!

Assisted stretching is a one-on-one session with a trained specialist who guides your body through targeted stretches on a massage table. With proper support, you’re able to move into deeper stretch positions than you can achieve on your own for lasting results.

Steps from Grand Central, our personalized sessions are tailored to your goals and abilities. Whether you’re a hard-working mom, an athlete, a busy professional, or simply looking to move and feel better, our specialists provide a safe, effective way to support your body.

Sessions are one-hour, on a massage table in athletic/comfortable clothing.

Both have science-backed benefits. Foam rolling can help short-term range of motion and circulation (Wiewelhove et al., 2019). Assisted stretching supports flexibility and relaxation through nervous-system regulation. Combine them to improve your flexibility.
