"I started seeing Dr. Chavez during my third trimester and it was the best decision I made for my pregnancy. The Webster Technique he uses completely transformed my comfort level in those final weeks. My back pain went from a 7/10 to basically nothing. He was so gentle and thoughtful throughout every visit. I'm now bringing my newborn in for pediatric adjustments and seeing amazing results there too."

Professional Stretching in Lubbock, TX
Flexibility and mobility are the foundation of a pain-free, active life — yet most people neglect stretching or never learn to do it correctly. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic in Lubbock, TX, Dr. Brett Chavez, D.C. offers professional, assisted stretching as a standalone service and as a complement to chiropractic care, massage, and rehabilitation programs.
Unlike stretching at home, professional assisted stretching allows a trained practitioner to take each muscle and joint through its full range of motion safely and effectively — achieving results that are difficult or impossible to accomplish on your own. Sessions are customized to your body, your goals, and your current level of flexibility and any limitations you may have.
What Is Assisted Stretching?
Assisted stretching is a passive or partner-facilitated stretching technique in which the practitioner guides your body through specific movements designed to lengthen tight muscles, release connective tissue restrictions, and restore joint mobility. Several advanced techniques are used:
PNF Stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)
PNF is one of the most effective flexibility techniques available. It involves contracting a muscle against resistance and then relaxing it while it is stretched. This process “tricks” the nervous system into allowing the muscle to lengthen beyond its normal resting range. PNF stretching consistently produces greater flexibility gains than static stretching alone.
Active Release Stretching
This technique combines movement with applied pressure to the target muscle, working through the full range of the muscle’s function while breaking up adhesions and restoring tissue quality.
Passive Flexibility Work
The practitioner moves your limb or body segment to the limit of comfortable range and holds the position, allowing gravity and the practitioner’s support to gently lengthen the tissue. This is ideal for patients who are injured, deconditioned, or have significant mobility restrictions.
Who Benefits From Professional Stretching?
Professional stretching at Back 2 Health Chiropractic is appropriate for a wide range of patients:
- Athletes and active individuals seeking to improve performance, prevent injury, and recover faster
- Desk workers and sedentary professionals with chronic hip flexor, hamstring, and thoracic tightness from prolonged sitting
- Chiropractic patients looking to maintain the benefits of spinal adjustments between visits
- Post-injury rehabilitation patients working to restore normal range of motion after sports injuries or surgery
- Seniors aiming to maintain independence and mobility as they age
- Anyone with chronic tightness in the neck, shoulders, hips, hamstrings, or IT bands
Benefits of Professional Stretching
- Increased range of motion — greater joint mobility for pain-free movement in daily activities and sport
- Injury prevention — flexible muscles absorb force more effectively and are less prone to tearing
- Improved posture — releasing tight hip flexors, chest muscles, and upper trapezius corrects common postural imbalances
- Reduced chronic pain — many cases of back, neck, and hip pain are partially or fully caused by chronic muscular tightness
- Enhanced athletic performance — greater flexibility translates to more efficient movement patterns and better power output
- Stress relief — the parasympathetic nervous system response during assisted stretching promotes deep relaxation
- Better circulation — lengthened muscles have improved blood flow, speeding recovery and reducing soreness
Stretching as Part of Your Care Plan
Professional stretching integrates seamlessly with every other service at Back 2 Health Chiropractic:
- After a chiropractic adjustment, stretching helps maintain spinal alignment by addressing the tight muscles that could otherwise pull joints back out of position.
- Following a massage therapy session, assisted stretching can further increase tissue length while muscles are warm and relaxed.
- As part of a sports rehabilitation program, stretching restores functional range of motion during the recovery process.
- After spinal decompression, targeted stretching reduces the risk of disc re-compression and supports long-term disc health.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your professional stretching session begins with a brief assessment of your current range of motion and any areas of concern. Wear comfortable, athletic clothing. Depending on the muscles being addressed, you will be positioned on the treatment table in various supported positions.
Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. You should feel a gentle to moderate stretch sensation — never sharp or shooting pain. Communication during your session is encouraged so Dr. Chavez can adjust pressure and positioning as needed.
After your session, you will likely feel looser, taller, and more comfortable immediately. Some mild muscle soreness is possible the following day, especially if significant restrictions were addressed.

Common Questions
What conditions does a chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, Dr. Chavez commonly treats back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, herniated discs, shoulder pain, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, scoliosis, TMJ disorder, and more. If you're unsure whether your condition is a good fit, call us at {{phone}} — we're happy to answer your questions before you book.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes — chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available for musculoskeletal conditions. Serious adverse events are extremely rare. Dr. Chavez performs a thorough evaluation before any treatment begins, including a health history review and X-rays when indicated, to ensure the most appropriate and safe care approach for each individual patient. If your condition is better suited to another provider, Dr. Chavez will refer you honestly.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
The number of visits depends entirely on your specific condition, its severity, and how your body responds to care. Acute conditions often respond quickly — sometimes within 3–6 visits. Chronic or complex conditions typically require a longer course of care. Dr. Chavez will provide a specific care plan recommendation after your initial evaluation and will update it based on your progress. You will never be pressured into more care than you genuinely need.
