I tried being Professionally Stretched - !!!!!!!!! 

Would you like to be professionally stretched? Notes about this video: 1. There are Stretch Labs centres in the USA and UK. 2. I expect a Thai Massage to have similar benefits. It’s a treatment I would like to make a video about! 3. This would be a fantastic alternative to a standard massage if you’re not into being stroked and rubbed and all that jazz - although I love that too! And also if you just don’t want to spend 50 minutes stretching yourself, then just go and pay someone else to stretch you. 4. Since learning the splits 12 months ago, (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RA6J9MrIuQk.html) I continue to practice every weekday - hence my flexibility. It doesn't come easy, and I often don't want to do it but also I don't want to lose the flexibility. 10 minutes every day...... 5. Some of the things I try may look gimmicky (or maybe they don’t?). My main message is to encourage people to take time for themselves to take care of their body and mind. That may mean paying to go somewhere and do something special or unusual, or it may mean sitting in front of the TV for 10 minutes to do some meditation or stretching. I hope this message comes across. 6. I really loved this treatment! Dee was fantastic. What a skill she has 🙌🏼

This looks so relaxing. I feel like some physical therapy makes us emotional at the end because all that tension & energy is released.

My GF is always going for these, usually about 3 evenings a weeks they take a few hours, she comes back aching, exhausted and sleeps a lot afterwards, I am happy its helping her 👍

There's a place near my house that provides pro stretching; I've been meaning to try it for months. This video gave me the extra push to book it.

You should read the Body Keeps Score - it makes total sense that you felt a big relief after the stretch session. The body holds trauma and stress in weird nooks and crannies… you’re literally releasing your trauma, nothing to be embarrassed of!

You took your channel to a whole new level, LT! And your sidekick is cool! Can't wait for more :)

Oh man I would LOVE this! I am soooo stiff and this would really help me. I'm loving how your channel is progressing Laura, you're covering amazingly interesting subjects and areas I never knew existed. Well done, you're a natural!

Im going to try this. My body is stiff as a board. Dee seemed lovely. Feeling comfortable with the professional makes a massive difference with things like this. Great video, thank you.

Really love your videos!!! Your recent videos with all the new things you're trying just takes it to the next level! You are such an inspiration in more ways than you'll know: your words "just get on with it" have got me through some really rough patches, thank you for your bravery and sharing your adventures ❤️ much love from 🇿🇦

Oh man, I need this so bad! I had no idea this type of thing existed. That stretch where the therapist pulled your arms back and had their feet against your back - I could almost feel that myself!!! Must have been heavenly.

Because of your video, I’m trying this out tomorrow. I can’t wait. I hope they’ll sponsor you, as you’re definitely motivating people like me to try them out.

this looks amazing, i think the best part is the therapist does not hold back, she gets right in there on the table and everything

Absolutely loved this video and loving this series!

I have NEVER heard of being "professionally" stretched - but OMG did that ever look great! That would definitely be something I would love to experience. I'll have to research and see if we have anything like that here in the USA (Michigan). I love the other tests you are performing on yourself. Can you tell us how you came to learn about all these modalities and the sites that offer them?

Hi Laura! This was a great video. I'm definitely going to book a session. This makes me think of when I go to yoga and there's a really hands on teacher who mindfully uses pressure to assist me in getting deeper into an Asana, feels soooo good 😋. I completely get your euphoria at the end of your session with Dee! I'm looking forward to the longevity series you mentioned. I find that stuff fascinating. Off to watch the cryotherapy vid now...👀✨

Thank you for this video! You’re awesome!!

Thank you for this video Laura! I was today years old when I learned about professional stretching. I’m trying to be more intentional about improving flexibility & mobility this year, so I’ll have to try it sometime!

Ooo Laura, you make me want to try out more new experiences! This is brilliant! 😀

I like how you're progressing with your video editing ideas - actually in heaven - cool placement. The video was interesting and, most importantly, positive. Thank you. Nothing embarrassing to show your feelings.

I super like this video !! Love how you enjoy doing these even though I personally wont !! I love people doing what they really love doing !!

Wow! I’m so excited about your videos! I love this! I subscribed because I can’t wait to see ALL your future videos! I have been wanting to try this! Can’t wait to see what your up to! 🥰👏🏻

God I need this!! If I can’t find one near me in Dorset I’d even travel to London just for this! Thanks Laura!

that looks fabulous!!

1st time watching and what a great video, ive been suffering with a groin injury and tight hamstrings, something like this would really help me thanks for sharing

Thank you for this video, I never knew I needed something more than I have discovered whilst watching your video.

That looks AMAZING. I would totally love this. I'm so tight and achy these days. I used to stretch everyday, but got out of the habit. Maybe this is the kick up the a*se I need to get going again. Good work Big T.

Amazing video and insight Laura! If only the gyms had people like this just waiting to stretch you out after working out 😅

Just watched the part about the future plans for your channel (and your life of course!). Very excited for the future videos too! You’re such a great role model for 30-40 somethings 😀 I wonder if that sounds like a funny thing to say as an adult. 😅🤔

Thank you for all your videos Laura.Who cannot do this therapy? Many thanks 🙏🙏

Wow, this looks wonderful, and thanks for the link. There's several places actually near where I live!

Love your channel Laura, its great that you are trying new things and taking your audience along for the ride. Thank you ❤This looked so good, I might just have to give it a try. So is Angus your new man? And is your surname really Try, coz that would be amazing if it was... Trying all these new things. Keep up the great work Laura, thanks for sharing & taking the time to make these videos xx

Nice vid as always LT. I recently found Peter Attia's podcast about living a long healthy life and that inspired me to start stretching and doing strength training. I'd love to see your vids on this subject. Thanks

This was great Laura. You've convinced me that I need a professional stretch!

That looks amazing

Thank you Laura, I saw this a few years ago in the US. I really want to do this.

This seems really lovely! I can’t lie if I this done I kind of wish I could get it done by this girl. She seems great lol

A place just opened not to far from us. Thanks for doing this vlog. You are very flexible

I had no idea this exists. YES to a video about the leg things

YES! Definitely! Thank you 🙏✨💜✨

Laura loving these vids! this stretching sesh is definitely my cup of tea! would you know if i could still do this with a shoulder sports injury? i know it would probably recommended to wait until it heals but its a sports over use injury, so like a tenonitis which can be chronic, so i wont recover fully for 1-2 years. id still love to try this, i guess i could ask for my left shoulder not to be involved?

Getting stretched is next on my list but it’s so expensive. I have been using an acupressure mat after watching your video, it’s been helpful

I have a remedial massage regularly, with stretching of the arms and neck. I love stretching, following from warm QLD Australia, would definitely use A stretch studio. Thank you 😍

... all for that video on compression recovery boots! :-)

That looks delightful!

I am happy to watch any treatment vid I find them so interesting would love to try a stretching session

Another great video Laura might give this a try myself 👍

I haven’t had it done. I tend to move away from trendy stuff. I’m seeing all these stertch places pop up. I use to hate to stretch. But now that I’m older I feel the benefits of stretching. I have to after I run or I can barley move the next day. After watching your video, I just might try one of these places.

I got quite excited when I saw this, unfortunately they only have locations in London (as usual). The only way I'm getting a stretch in Devon is at the prison on Dartmoor! 😀

Would really love a longer uncut video of this stretching. loving it!!!

Yes I normally have the professional stretching twice a month. I can see the real benefits especially I walk to work everyday on top of my daily exercise. Here, it is quite popular among golfers, runners and weight trainers. You can find the stores near the train stations in Tokyo.

Ooooooh... I would love this! I am trying to get more flexible, and it is hard! At some point, I will visit Stretch Lab! Thank you for bringing Stretch Lab to my attention! ☺

It was so relaxing to watch it

I started doing calisthenics, and i quickly realized that intense workouts caused a lot of stiffness in parts of the body that are very difficult to stretch (core stabilization musculature is engaged a LOT in calisthenics). Professional stretching seems like a great compliment to my workout routine.

Dear Laura I’d love to see the video on the boots !!!

Omg I need this! My mobility is stiffening up as I get older.

Wow, looks great 😊

This what I need. Glad to of found this vid!

Looks fab 😮

😮Its a good thing you threw in that explaination about the pancake stretch. Out of context "This'll be good for your pancake" would be puzzling and hilarious😂😂

Sorry for the comment spam 😅 Would love to see a video about the compression recovery boots!

I watch a couple channels that are stretch labs, I can't wait to get it done to me!

Hi Laura, this is amazing! What a great video...Somehow you managed to capture this session in such a way it really feels like we were there with you. Brilliant. Two questions ....do you think you enjoyed it so much because you are already so flexible? Would less stretchy mortals get less out of it? Thanks and greetings from 🇨🇭

that looks great!!!

I have Fibromyalgia in LOT of pain 24/7. I have went and got a massage but NOTHING as good as this stretching, this is the BEST for Fibromyalgia. I use to go once a week and I felt like a new women, I was not stiff oh I felt so much better but husband passed away so I can no longer go. My pain is a 10++++ now, it's very bad. I don't get out of the house much anymore because of the pain so if you have Fibromyalgia go find someone who can do this to you and you will feel like a new person. You have to go once a week and after about 2 month's you will be shocked, I sure was. I really miss it. Insurance will not cover it but they cover pain pills, which I hate but you got to do what you can do to help this pain. It is HELL having Fibromyalgia it has robbed my life so if you are lucky enough go get this done, it's better than any pain 💊 pill and has no side effects.

Beautiful gorgeous stunning model

I think I'll get professionally streched in my city. Thanks for posting.

As soon as I get back to Blighty, I will be getting stretched! Another great video LT! 😊

The Clay Smith discussion forum platform Great stretch demonstration of new level of health and wellness!

OMG I just saw that you put a link to a stretch lab in the US.

Nice video!

Great video. I'm definitely trying that out.

this was cool!

Good stuff

i've done stretch before and it was so great, but then the stretch specialist left and i never got to have another great session.

Looked really nice!👍👍👍

Yes! I’m booking this for me and my husband

❤I highly recommend this service

Jesus christ! Happy that you survived 😉 Cheers from Lisbon 🇵🇹

Yes please = the compression boots. My family has had venous ulcerated legs and there is no medical help or end of life pain relief therapy in the uk yet just misguided ideas for nurses which makes things worse. This content was so good- my osteopath does a lot of this so maybe I might prefer a stretch session in the future instead to get more out of it.

I was at dr stretch in Tokyo. ❤❤❤❤ they should be everywhere worldwide❤❤❤❤❤

This seems great. I want to learn to do that. And have it done.

I liked getting stretched but not as much as you lol. I’m not that flexible, so it was almost a little painful for me. Not to the point of injury but it definitely pushed just slightly past what I would do on my own, like your stretchologist mentioned. It was really useful while I was marathon training though to get a really good session in every week or 3 in addition to my normal stretching and recovery.

We have a Stretch Lab in my town and I would love to try but I am SO afraid because I have bulging L4/L5 discs and other sacroiliac issues. I'm afraid that someone would not get my issues and do something that would put me in the hospital. I did a stellar step workout once that sent me to the hospital for 3 days on morphine pushes. Would you suggest this for people with complex issues?

Dee is Amazing! Give her a high five for me🖐️

Also my remedial therapist is blind and I have used the pressure boots at his studio. 😍

Flipping heck, that thumbnail, how did you get your leg up like that Laura? 😂

I would definitely do this!!!

I’m an old national team gymnast, I’ve also always been very flexible throughout my life. Injuries have been a part of life, but a couple of year ago I watched a video from this Finnish runner/youtuber, where he talks about not stretching before his runs, I tried this and have had zero sport related injuries since. Sure it feels good to be flexible and all, but p e in schools are using old relics of exercises from Soviet era. It seems.

I'm a professional stretcher as well. IT's the best! Clients love iT!!

I'm possibly the least flexible person ever. Much like the cold therapy video you did, I'd be nervous to try this, but I bet it would be extremely helpful. Maybe I missed it, but how long did the session last?

Oh my. I need this. Don't know where to get it in my country though.

I've never even heard of such a thing. Would I ever? YES!

I get a similar stretch treatment every week because of a condition I have, Id be lost without it. I would recommend to anyone of any ability

i passed stretch lab today. guess this is my answer ❤

Just booked a session. I would like to be able to have Thai massages but they seemed to go from 0 to 100.. so this would be a good way to work up to it.

How do you find this stuff LT? It looks brilliant!

Thanks!

I would gladly watch the whole session

I was surprised at the pricing. Not bad. In Japan, these types of treatments are done by chiropractors for roughly the same price. Maybe a bit cheaper. Also, being in Asia Pacific region Thai massage therapy is popular, so lots of options over here. Love this stuff. This year (2024) gonna concentrate on mobility and flexibility. Will be checking to LT for some inspiration. Thanks.

There a new place coming to Virginia USA called STRETCH ZONE. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ❤
