EverSource Wealth Advisors invites you to enjoy a FREE professional stretch with Nicole McCarrell, owner of Strength, Stretch, & Wellness (LLCB.S., PTA, NSCA-CPT, FST Level 3, Nutrition Coach). You’ll receive a 20-minute, full body fascial stretching designed to help you move better, perform better, and recover faster by targeting both your muscles and the fascia-. This stretch allows you to fully relax while she safely take your muscles and joints through a greater range of motion than you can typically achieve on your own. This type of stretching is especially beneficial for athletes and active individuals looking to improve mobility, enhance performance, speed up recovery, and reduce the risk of injury. Whether you’re training hard or just trying to stay ahead of soreness and tightness, each session is tailored to support your specific goals. I have over 5 years of experience with fascial stretch technique (level 3 certification) and I am also a licensed physical therapist assistant in the state of Michigan. My goal is to provide safe, effective, and results-driven sessions tailored to each client’s specific goals and activity level."
