Session flow and structure
Every Total Body Stretch session begins with a brief intake to identify tight areas, mobility goals, and any movement limits. Your practitioner leads a guided, assisted stretch routine that focuses on lengthening targeted muscle groups while you remain clothed and supported. The process uses slow, deliberate positioning and clear communication rather than traditional massage strokes, so you know what to expect from each assisted movement.
In a compact 30 minutes the session prioritizes areas that limit your daily movement, such as hips, shoulders, or low back. The practitioner guides each limb through ranges of motion, offering support and pacing to avoid discomfort. Sessions are adaptable for those with limited flexibility or muscle tightness, focusing on restoring comfortable movement rather than deep tissue manipulation or hands-on kneading.
What to bring and wear
Wear breathable, flexible clothing that allows full range of motion—leggings, shorts, or a comfortable T‑shirt are all suitable. Please arrive a few minutes early to fill out a brief intake form and mention any recent injuries or medical concerns. Light hydration before a session helps; avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand. Towels or props are provided, so you do not need to bring specialty equipment.
We schedule flexible early-morning and evening appointments to fit commuters and parents balancing work and family. Studio Chique sits in Langdon with easy access from the Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, making midday or after-work sessions convenient for people traveling from Union Market or the U.S. National Arboretum. Online booking and self-care package options suit weekend visitors.
Local considerations and scheduling
Washington’s humid subtropical climate can influence muscle stiffness—hot, humid summers and cooler winters may change how easily tissues move. Clients often find stretching more comfortable during spring and fall activity seasons, though sessions are helpful year-round. Discuss seasonal activity levels and outdoor plans during intake so your practitioner can prioritize areas affected by cycling, commuting, or gardening common in nearby neighborhoods.
The 30-minute session costs $79 and is designed for active recovery, postural support, and mobility improvement rather than deep therapeutic work. We welcome clients from Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Bladensburg, College Park, Brookland, and Brentwood who want targeted, efficient sessions that fit busy schedules. If you have specific medical conditions, notify us during booking so we can adapt or advise appropriately.
