Release Tension, Restore Flexibility with Pin + Stretch Therapy
At Mountain Mama Chiropractic, Pin and Stretch Therapy is used to release deep muscle tension, restore range of motion, and support natural body movement.
By combining precise pressure (“pinning”) on tight muscle fibers with controlled stretching, this technique helps relieve stiffness, reduce pain, and promote long-term flexibility and comfort.

How Pin + Stretch Therapy Works
1️⃣ Targeted Pinpoint Application: During the session, Dr. Railey applies direct pressure to specific muscles or trigger points, pinning them in place. This targeted approach helps isolate the muscle group to be stretched.
2️⃣ Controlled Stretching: While maintaining pressure, a gentle stretch is applied to the pinned muscle. This technique effectively elongates the muscle fibers, promoting greater flexibility and range of motion.
3️⃣ Release and Relaxation: After holding the stretch, the pressure is gradually released. This process allows the muscle to relax, which can alleviate tension and improve overall muscle function.
4️⃣ Integration of Movement: Following the stretch, guided movements may be introduced to reinforce the benefits of the therapy. This helps improve coordination and ensures that the muscle can function optimally in various activities.
5️⃣ Post-Treatment Assessment: After the session, you may notice improved flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced overall movement. These effects indicate that the therapy effectively supports muscle health and mobility.
