Yes. Every Dr.stretch studio in the UAE has a private, ladies-only room, so female clients can be stretched in privacy – just mention it when you book. We also have an additional room that can accommodate couples’ stretching sessions.
Assisted stretching can be mildly uncomfortable when your muscles are very tight and you extend them into stretched positions. Your trainer checks in with you throughout and adjusts the stretch to your comfort. During the stretch, the trainer will ask where you are on your own intensity scale of 1-10. We aim to keep most stretches up to about 7 out of 10; if it gets close to being too intense, just tell your trainer. Some people prefer a more vigorous stretch, others less so – the stretch is in your control.
Any time of day is suitable for stretching, so choose the time that works best for your schedule. If you plan to work out on the same day, we recommend coming for your stretch after your workout rather than before it.
This will depend on your individual situation and circumstances. Your Dr.stretch trainer will be able to advise on an appropriate frequency and devise a plan of visits to help you achieve your goals.
We do not stretch anyone with an acute injury. Please see a doctor or physiotherapist and get their clearance before coming to Dr.stretch – our trainers are not physiotherapists. If you have chronic pain, discomfort or tightness, assisted stretching is usually fine as long as your doctor or physiotherapist approves.
You can wear whatever you will feel comfortable getting stretched in and does not restrict your movement. People wear workout clothes, gym shorts, yoga gear, loose fitting shorts, T-shirts. We also provide loose fitting loungewear in case you do not carry comfortable gear and would like to wear our Dr.stretch loungewear for your stretch - free of charge.
We recommend booking your preferred slot in advance, as clients with bookings are served first. Our studios get busy at certain times, especially on weekends and weekday evenings. To avoid a wait, book by calling or messaging your studio on WhatsApp.
