Chiropractic care is about much more than temporary relief—it is about restoring your body’s ability to move, function, and heal optimally. While manual chiropractic adjustments are an essential part of care, movement-based therapies are required to support long-term function and structural stability.1 That’s why Chiro One integrates targeted active rehabilitative therapies directly into our personalized treatment plans.
One of the most effective tools we use to help patients improve spinal mobility, flexibility, and muscle engagement is the Precor StretchTrainer. This specialized active therapy device allows patients to perform deep, guided stretches that reinforce healthy posture and make daily movement more comfortable.
The Precor StretchTrainer is a guided active therapy device used in chiropractic care to safely improve spinal mobility, enhance flexibility, and correct posture. By providing ergonomic support during deep stretches, the StretchTrainer helps patients relieve muscle tension, reinforce chiropractic adjustments, and retrain optimal movement patterns without putting undue stress on the joints or spine.
“The spine is directly correlated with total body function. When we combine chiropractic adjustments with guided active therapies like the Precor StretchTrainer, we don’t just relieve tension—we remove interferences in the nervous system and give patients the flexibility and structural support they need for life-long health and peak performance.” — Dr. Shawn Singh, D.C.
The Precor StretchTrainer is a specialized, guided stretching device designed to help patients perform spinal mobility and stretching exercises safely and effectively.2 Unlike traditional unassisted floor stretches, the equipment provides ergonomic leverage, allowing for deeper, more supported stretches that isolate specific muscle groups.
At Chiro One, StretchTrainer exercises are carefully prescribed based on a patient’s specific condition, posture, movement patterns, and long-term treatment goals.
Doctors may recommend the StretchTrainer for patients experiencing:
Because every patient’s body is unique, these active rehabilitation therapy exercises are highly individualized and supervised by a Doctor of Chiropractic to ensure safety and clinical effectiveness.
Active therapies help support the muscles, ligaments, and movement patterns surrounding the spine.3 When combined with chiropractic adjustments, movement-based therapies help reinforce healthy posture, improve joint mobility, and support overall musculoskeletal function.
Research shows that combining specific active exercises with manual therapy significantly improves physical function and movement for musculoskeletal conditions.2 At Chiro One, chiropractic active therapy is designed to complement adjustments by helping patients actively engage their muscles and improve body awareness through guided, deliberate movement.
Exercises performed on the StretchTrainer around the time of an adjustment help support:
Proper posture plays an important role during stretching exercises and everyday movement.3 When performing spinal mobility exercises on the StretchTrainer, maintaining proper posture helps ensure the stretch targets the intended muscles. Rounding or collapsing the back during a stretch can change how the exercise affects the spine, which is why clinical supervision is so valuable.
Targeted stretching exercises for posture improvement help reduce unnecessary strain, encourage better movement habits, and support balance and stability.1
Yes. The Precor StretchTrainer is designed to be used safely under the guidance of trained professionals. Patients are encouraged to follow instructions carefully, maintain an upright posture, and use the equipment’s integrated safety wrist straps during exercises. Controlled movement and proper form help create a safer, more effective stretching experience that yields long-lasting results.
Chiropractic care is about more than temporary relief. At Chiro One, our care plans are designed to help patients improve movement, posture, and function over time. Combining chiropractic adjustments with active therapy exercises like the Precor StretchTrainer helps patients move more comfortably and maintain healthier movement patterns in everyday life.
Whether you’re experiencing stiffness from desk work, tension from daily stress, or reduced flexibility from repetitive activities or sports, chiropractic active therapy can help support your mobility and wellness goals.
The Precor StretchTrainer is used to help improve spinal mobility, flexibility, posture, and muscle engagement through guided stretching exercises prescribed as part of chiropractic active therapy.
Yes. Active therapy exercises—including targeted stretching—help reinforce healthy movement patterns and support flexibility and mobility alongside chiropractic adjustments. Stretching tight muscles prevents them from pulling recently adjusted joints back out of alignment.1
Absolutely. Many chiropractors use active rehabilitation therapy exercises, stretching, strengthening, and mobility work to complement manual chiropractic adjustments and support long-term musculoskeletal function and stability.2
