Stretching and Recovery is one-on-one soft tissue and flexibility work with our recovery coaches, Candace and Brook. Sessions use two methods. Body tempering: a coach rolls a weighted steel cylinder slowly across your muscles while you lie still, so you get deep, even pressure without bracing. PNF stretching: you contract and relax a muscle against the coach's resistance to gain range you cannot reach stretching alone.
It is built for lifters, kettlebell sport athletes, CrossFit members, and adults who feel tight from sitting, work, or getting older. Recovery work between training days lets you show up to the next session moving better.
Your first visit is a free 30-minute Flexibility and Recovery Assessment. A coach checks your mobility and common areas of restriction, tries body tempering and PNF stretching on the spots that need it, and recommends a plan.
Ongoing sessions are one-on-one, 30 or 50 minutes, booked in blocks. We go over options at your assessment.
Body tempering is firm pressure, not pain. Tell your coach if anything is too much. If you have a recent injury or surgery, bring what your doctor or PT has cleared you for.
"Candace is an excellent stretching coach; my back pain is completely gone after working with her. She provides helpful tips and follow-up exercises." Linda C.
"I was having lower back pain and Candace could tell the problem area before I even told her. I feel better after having the stretch session. She also gave me stretches I could do at home." Jamie N.
"I had a stretch session with Brook, and it was great as always. I've been seeing her for about six months, and her sessions have been extremely beneficial." Mike D.
Working out at the gym isn't easy. But getting there shouldn't be hard. CrossFit Cerberus is located and easily accessible from all of Blue Springs.
