Recovering from surgery can be a daunting journey, but it’s one that can be significantly improved with the right approach. At Bend Straight Studios, we recently had the privilege of helping one of our dedicated clients get back to what he loves most – surfing.
Abstract: In this post, we explore how assisted stretching helped our client Paul E. recover from his surgery and prepare him for his passion, surfing. With having a recent surgery, that led to him being bedridden for months, we are getting our client back on the board thanks to the benefits of assisted stretching.
The Challenge:
Paul overall has a rich history in an active lifestyle, being a master in martial arts, a coach for the local basketball team, and an avid partaker in water sports. He has been so eager to return to his active lifestyle; however, due to a recent surgery, there was a roadblock that was put in front of him making it difficult for him to continue his active lifestyle and, more importantly back onto his surfboard.
The Solution:
We have been working with Paul for over two years, focusing on personalized assisted stretching programs tailored to his needs. Assisted stretching is a powerful tool that can enhance flexibility, improve mobility, and improve circulation throughout the whole body, improving his process of recovery along with his Physical Therapy. Through consistency we were able to help Paul with targeted muscle engagement and advanced stretching techniques, helping him regain his mind-muscle connection and relief.
The Journey:
Paul was originally a client of mine before Bend Straight Studios was established, thus why we have been working with each other for so long. It was through working together, we have seen such remarkable progress. Having regular bi-weekly sessions to focus individually on his upper extremities and lower extremities to graduating to weekly sessions, we have seen improved muscle function and overall improved health and wellness. With a combination of Paul’s determination and the benefits of assisted stretching, paved the way for his successful return to the surfboard.
The Outcome:
Today, he is getting ready to get back on that board as he is getting ready to go to his favorite ranch, Kelly Slater Surf Ranch, and conquer those waves. His journey from surgery to surfing is a testament to the power of assisted stretching and its role in promoting overall health and wellness.
At Bend Straight Studios, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals, no matter the obstacles. Whether it’s returning to a beloved sport, or simply improving daily mobility, our personalized stretching programs are designed to support and empower every step of the way.
