Assisted Stretching in Tupelo and Pontotoc
One-on-one assisted stretching from a licensed occupational therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. We measure your range of motion, stretch what needs it, and retest so you see the change.

Muscle scraping (IASTM) & cupping
| Technique | What it is | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Assisted stretching | Provider-guided stretching, including PNF techniques | To gain range where testing shows a restriction |
| Muscle scraping (IASTM) | Instrument-assisted soft tissue work with HawkGrips tools | To address soft tissue findings before movement and strength work |
| Cupping | Suction cups applied over muscle and soft tissue | Alongside movement work when it fits your plan |
| Compression recovery | Compression therapy for recovery | As a $30 add-on at any visit |
HawkGrips Level 1 and 2 certified. Every technique is a tool, not the whole plan.

How is this different from a massage?
Massage is great for relaxation and general recovery, and we gladly refer clients to a trusted local massage therapist for it. At PPG, hands-on work serves a specific, measured goal: we test, treat, retest, and then build strength so the change holds.
Who does the stretching?
Alex Pannell, an occupational therapist, Certified Hand Therapist, and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
