How Our Irving Park Mobility Training Works

FYZICAL’s Irving Park location is the calm, comfortable place you need to get the most out of your Stretch sessions.

Each session is broken down into three parts:

  • Five minutes of warmup
  • 40 minutes of assisted stretching
  • 15 minutes of guided recovery

Following their first session, many people experience some temporary soreness, as is common with stretching and exercise. The soreness should dissipate as your body becomes used to the routine. 

Please note that this service is not covered by insurance. However, the first session is free, and you can receive a price discount when you schedule multiple sessions in advance.
