Manual Stretch Therapy sessions utilize hands-on stretching techniques to dramatically improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce the pain or discomfort of chronic tension and tight spots. They also focus on creating balance and harmony to the body by allowing a parasympathetic state where one can heal, rest, and restore.
All manual stretch therapy sessions are personalized and 100% unique to your needs.
I usually blend techniques together to suit a client’s needs for a session. Please feel free to request a specific technique if desired.

I offer my clients the benefits of my extensive experience as well as knowledge, skill, and intuition. (I’ve been doing MST since 2010 for at least 10 hours a week.) Chances are, whatever you have going on I’ve probably studied it and worked with it on several other bodies facing the same challenges.
It doesn’t hurt! During each session, you will experience visible and immediate gains in your range of motion while in a relaxed state. Even though I’m stretching you, your body is guiding me towards what angles we should target or how far to go into each stretch.
I teach my clients practical tools to help maintain their results and manage any recurring issues. I have a catalog of you tube videos for my clients and I’m always sharing new useful tips & tricks to feel or move better.
I want you to get the most out of your investment of time, money, and energy into working with me. I’m reliable and professional, you can expect me to be authentic and communicative in our interactions.
I’m certified in a variety of methods and love learning as well as fine tuning skills. Here are the most important ones to know about:
NeuroMyoFascia Therapy
This is an extremely gentle and intuitive technique that focuses on myofascial release, soothing the nervous system, and healing on many levels. If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain, tension, or stress this can be a game changer. It’s very adaptable and blends well with Fascial Stretch Therapy.
Manual Stretch Specialist
I have a practical skill set to work with fascia and an advanced understanding of how it works. Manual Stretch Therapy (MST) is a unique system that utilizes hands-on stretching techniques to dramatically improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce the pain or discomfort of chronic tension and tight spots.
Reiki master
Reiki is a very simple, yet effective form of energy work that is applied to create deep relaxation, promote healing, and soothe discomfort.

"You walk out of a session with Pippa feeling loose, limber and relaxed, like the energy just flows easily through your body. Having been through numerous stretch therapy sessions, I believe that it takes a skilled, trained and certified therapist, such as Pippa for any benefits to be reaped. I would recommend her to anyone." |

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME IN FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS? OR EVEN JUST FOR MAINTENANCE?
It’s tough to say exactly without meeting and seeing you in person. It really depends on what you have going on and how your body responds to Manual Stretch Therapy Sessions, as well as what else you’re doing.
I usually suggest planning on coming in for at least 3 sessions relatively closer together (like once a week or so) then we can re-evaluate and make a plan of action that works for you.

IS IT SAFE TO DO THIS IF I’M UNDER MY DOCTOR, PHYSICAL THERAPIST, OR CHIROPRACTOR’S CARE?
Yes! Especially if you bring specific information about your diagnosis, current treatment, and any protocols or recommendations your other caregivers can provide. I’m also happy to communicate directly with them if you give and document consent.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN A MASSAGE?
Here are some facts that might help clarify the difference:
While Massage and Manual Stretching do offer some similar benefits, here are some of the main differences of Manual Stretch Therapy:
- 47% of your flexibility is locked up in your joint capsule
- 42% of your flexibility potential is in your fascia.
- Stretching can reduce or eliminate tight muscles, stiff joints, and chronic pain.
- Stretching improves your circulation.
- Stretching makes you feel and look younger.
- Stretching makes you stronger.
- Assisted stretching works much better than self stretching.
While Massage and Manual Stretching do offer some similar benefits, here are some of the main differences of Manual Stretch Therapy:
- You stay fully clothed throughout your session.
- I focus on balancing out your entire fascial body, vs. focusing on specific areas.
- A lot of your flexibility is accessed by working on the joint capsule, not just the muscles.
- We use activation and releasing patterns, which improves your ability to stabilize as you release or lengthen. (preventing injury)
- There’s no oil or lotion used, so you can get right back to your day if needed.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO A FRANCHISE WHERE IT IS CHEAPER TO GET STRETCH SESSIONS?
My knowledge base, education, and years of hands on experience with Manual Stretch Therapy as well as other modalities are what set me apart from a franchise. Chances are, whatever you have going on I’ve probably studied it and worked with it on several other bodies facing the same challenges. I also offer a different perspective, I’m often giving stretch clients Pilates based exercises as a way to help maintain and maximize their results.
