Stretchologist

jaja svoboda, an owner of stretchologist, specializes in myofascial release and thai massage, often called "lazy man's yoga". thai massage is an ancient technique utilizing compression and stretching to loosen up tight muscles and joints, open up energy lines and relieve pain. no oils are used, therefore client stays fully clothed. a lot of the stretches involve different kinds of twists and clients often look like human "pretzel". "omg, it looks so painful, but it actually feels so good!" jaja often hears from her clients. jaja's been studying john f. barnes myofascial release, another stretching technique, that uses long, gentle stretches to release restrictions in connective tissue, which can produce a tensile strength of 2000 pounds per square inch and affecting pain-sensitive areas. stretching classes are also offered for regular clients in order to give them tools how to take control of their health and enhance their well-being. listen to your body.
