Have you ever heard of stretch therapy? If you’re looking for a total nervous system rest, a chance to decompress and do something really good for yourself, consider this a sign to give it a go. I recently spent an afternoon with Kimberly at Sheridan Stretch Therapy in Miramar, and I walked out feeling like someone had pressed the reset button on my entire body. I think everyone should try this!

If you've ever imagined stretch therapy to be painful or someone forcing your body into uncomfortable positions, think again. Studio owner Kimberly's approach is gentle, supportive and completely tailored to what your body needs. During my session I very happily zoned out and felt so relaxed the entire time.

Kimberly discovered Fascial Stretch Therapy after it transformed her own lower back pain and sciatica while she was living in the States. She trained alongside a stretch therapist and physiotherapist before eventually bringing Sheridan Stretch Therapy to Wellington four years ago. She's now been part of Miramar's thriving wellness community for the past three years!

After moving to Miramar in 2022 to be with her husband, Kimberly quickly fell in love with Wellington's close-knit community. She says building genuine connections with her clients has been one of the most rewarding parts of opening her studio, and starting working with locals (many of whom she now considers friends) is what helped her feel truly settled. To Kimberly, Miramar has such a supportive community where people genuinely want local businesses to succeed, and after meeting her, it's easy to see why she's become such a valued part of it.

Kimberly’s studio is warm and calming (there's even an electric blanket!), making it the perfect way to spend a colder afternoon doing something kind for yourself.

The benefits go far beyond simply improving flexibility. Stretch therapy helps decompress the body, ease tension, improve mobility and create more space throughout your muscles and fascia. Perfect for everyone including office workers used to sitting at a desk all day, older people struggling with mobility, athletes looking to make recovery smoother. I can see why so many people swear by it.

Alongside assisted stretch therapy, Kimberly also offers cupping and scraping treatments to help support recovery and mobility.

I couldn't recommend this experience more. Thank you so much Kim for this gifted session. If you've been curious, take this as your sign to give it a go. Your body will thank you.

Happier fascia can mean significant pain relief 🩵

>>🔹 Nervous Fibers of the Fascia 🔹
One of our recent works demonstrated that the fasciae contain a large thin network of free nerve endings that may play a role in pain perception and regulation.

The superficial fascia of the human hip was found to be the second most highly innervated tissue after the skin…The tendon was the least innervated.

Different types of sensory receptors are present in the fasciae: muscle spindles (epimysial fasciae), the Golgi tendon organ, Pacini and Ruffini corpuscles (aponeurotic fas-ciae), and an extensive network of free nerve endings. Each has a specific function depending on its structure and activating stimuli.

Schilder et al. clearly demonstrated that even more than the muscles and the subcutis, the deep fascia plays a significant role in the generation of pain symptoms.
Injections of hypertonic saline into the deep fascia resulted in longer pain duration and higher peak pain ratings than injections into the subcutaneous tissue or muscle.

S*x hormones affect fascia — in menopause but also throughout monthly cycles. Thicker, tighter, less elasticity in feet can mean higher chance of falling — and look at that contraceptive info!

Last week I could barely stand on my old broken foot—after sitting, I’d have to stand for about 30 seconds before I could even walk. This week, fine. Not in your head ladies! 🙂 fascinating fascia 🕸️

🔹>> The presence of relaxin receptor 1 (RXFP1) and estrogen receptor-alpha (ERa) in the deep fascia also change throughout an individual’s lifetime and is lower in the postmenopausal period with respect to the premenopausal one. These findings may explain some clinical differences detected in women of different age groups and why women tend to have different myofascial problems and myofascial pain after menopause. When Vita et al. analyzed the influence of hormonal changes on the deep fasciae during the menstrual cycle using ultrasound technology and shear wave elastography, they found statistically significant differences between the users and nonusers of hormonal contraceptives: the thoracolumbar fascia was thicker in the nonusers (p = 0.011), and the nonusers had higher maximal and mean stiffnesses of the
fascia lata (p = 0.01 and 0.0095, respectively).
Petrofsky and Lee also demonstrated that plantar fascia elasticity modifications during the menstrual cycle can affect posture sway and tremor and lead to the potential risk of falling.
