Stretch therapy is a form of bodywork that combines assisted stretching and soft tissue work to relieve pain, improve posture, reduce soreness and increase flexibility by moving your body through its full range of motion.

Stretch therapy sessions at CNU Fit range from $45 to $60. Your therapist recommends how often to come based on your goals.

Since 2014. CNU Fit was the first gym in Delaware to offer stretch therapy, and its therapists have delivered 27,000+ stretch therapy sessions since 2020.

Massage relaxes tight muscles but does not lengthen them for long. Stretch therapy lengthens muscles and helps them stay that way, without pressing through the muscle.

Chiropractors make adjustments that may not last. Stretch therapy loosens tight muscles and works with your nervous system and connective tissue to train your body to move differently for lasting results.

Yoga reduces stress and builds flexibility, but some poses are hard with tight muscles or injuries. Stretch therapy is matched to your current flexibility, so you stretch safely.

No. Sessions use no painful movements, and your therapist adjusts each stretch based on what you say and how your body responds.

You stay fully clothed. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, such as workout clothes.

Anyone with tightness or limited mobility: people with back, hip, shoulder or knee pain, people who have been stiff for years, wheelchair users and professional athletes. Each session is customized.

Sessions are led by CNU Stretch certified therapists trained in assisted stretching and soft tissue techniques.

A coaching program for adults 40 and older who want to lose fat without losing muscle, including people on a GLP-1 medication. It combines quarterly at-home blood work, an AI health app, physician-guided tirzepatide when it's appropriate, a medical team on call 24/7 and a CNU coach check-in every two weeks.

They eat much less, often don't get enough protein and aren't doing resistance training. Estimates usually put about 25% to 40% of the weight lost on a GLP-1 as lean mass rather than fat. Losing muscle slows your metabolism, reduces strength and mobility, and makes regain more likely once you stop the medication.

The standard advice is resistance training 2–3 times a week and roughly 0.7–1 g of protein per pound of goal body weight. In CNU Fit's Longevity Coaching Program, InBody scans every two weeks show whether you're losing fat or muscle, and your coach adjusts nutrition and training before anyone raises your dose.
