Athletic Stretch Therapy

Over the years, I have tried more than 20 different massage therapists on the Eastside. It’s very rare for me to find someone that I like as a whole package, such as quality of the massage, customer service, environment, noise-​level of the environment, duration of hands-​on therapy (a few minutes short vs extra).
I have repeatedly seen (more than 30 times until she moved) the same therapist in the past because she had given me everything that I mentioned above.
Recently, I came across Siobhan (Athletic Stretch Therapy) while I was searching for a new therapist.
As mentioned on the website, Siobhan’s treatment modalities are different than traditional massage therapy. Her treatment methods accomplish the same things but with an even better result, while using a different approach.
I was not sure if I would like this «different approach,» and I was also concerned about the noise-​level, knowing that her office is inside of a fitness studio. But I gave her a try anyway after reading her positive reviews.
I have known that stretching is a very effective form of stress management and can lead to better posture, fewer aches and pains, while increasing your blood flow and circulation for a healthier body.
Siobhan combined massaging and stretching together in her session. My mind was already calmer within the 1^st few minutes of the session starting. I heard nothing but the soft music and her gentle voice.
I felt refreshed and recharged when I left Athletic Stretch Therapy. I am also happier knowing that I can stop my search now and just come back to Siobhan whenever I need a great therapy for my body and mind.

I want to start off by saying that I’ve never been into getting body work done, but my doctor recommended that I get massaged regularly for my low blood pressure. I had also noticed a tightness in my back over the last couple of months, so I decided to give it a try. I walked in and the studio was both welcoming and beautiful. It was clean and serene. Siobhan greeted me and asked about any concerns I had and what areas needed special attention. I told her about my back and also mentioned that I don’t like a lot of pressure, because it tends to be painful to me. The session started off with a massage down each side of my vertebrae. She checked on me several times, making sure the pressure was okay and not uncomfortable for me. Then she went on to stretching me. I told her that I am probably one of the least flexible people, but she insisted that we would fix that. She went on to stretch every muscle in my body. I was worried it was going to be a bit painful, but it actually felt really good. Afterward, I felt so limber and light on my feet. I even felt a little taller. Later that night, I noticed that I wasn’t getting my usual cramping in my calves. That was a huge plus! I highly recommend going in to see Siobhan. I am planning to see her every month now.

Recently, I was in a pretty dramatic car accident and, as a result, I ended up with neck, back and hip problems. My joints, muscles and everything in between were locked up tight and I was in a great deal of pain. Since the accident, I’ve been seeing Siobhan and Melissa regularly, and the results I’m experiencing are nothing short of awesome. I look forward to every appointment I have, knowing it’ll make my body feel even better!

Siohban was really able to unlock my hip and help relieve it of the pain and tightness. I highly recommend her for chronic motion injuries.

I can’t wait to see Siobhan again next week! I feel 20 years younger! My body always aches and after our session today, I feel pain free!!!
Siobhan is awesome and a miracle worker! Much better then massages!

I’ve had knee, hip and leg issues for at least 15 years. It doesn’t matter whether I’m sitting, standing or walking, my legs ache. Limping and pain management have become normal. Siobhan has completed two stretch sessions on me and the difference is startling. I have one leg I can’t straighten (doctors and naturopaths suggest arthritis) which causes compensation injury to my hips, knees, ankles and back. In only two sessions my limp is gone, I can almost straighten my leg and I have flexibility I haven’t had since my 20’s. I’ve tried every type of massage therapy, changed my diet to reduce inflammation, considered surgery and invested hundreds of dollars and hours of research in a failed attempt at finding a solution. Siobhan’s stretch therapy works unlike anything I’ve tried. You’ll be sore but you won’t be disappointed.

I refer my patients here to Siobhan and she’s been doing some great body work with my patients. They have greater range of motions, and I have noticed their adjustments hold longer! Thanks for the teamwork Siobhan!
