InMotion Wellness Studio Forest opened at 17860 Forest Rd to bring the benefits of professional assisted stretching to the Lynchburg region. Unlike traditional massage or physical therapy, InMotion's approach focuses exclusively on practitioner-assisted stretching — a specialized modality where trained stretch therapists manually guide clients through targeted stretches that achieve deeper muscle lengthening and joint mobilization than self-stretching alone. Each session is customized to the client's body, goals, and areas of tightness or pain.
The studio serves a diverse clientele: athletes looking to improve performance and prevent injury, office workers dealing with chronic neck and back pain from desk posture, injury recovery patients seeking faster healing and restored range of motion, and active adults who want to maintain mobility and independence as they age. InMotion's practitioners are trained in the studio's proprietary stretching protocols and work one-on-one with clients in private sessions, making adjustments in real time based on what the body needs. This personalized approach has earned the Forest location a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google from over 122 reviews.

What is assisted stretching and how is it different from regular stretching?
Assisted stretching is a specialized modality where a trained practitioner manually guides you through targeted stretches, using techniques that achieve deeper muscle lengthening and joint mobilization than you can accomplish on your own. The therapist applies controlled pressure and leverages angles and positions that are impossible to reach solo. This results in greater flexibility gains, faster recovery, and more effective pain relief compared to self-stretching. Each session is customized to your body's specific needs and adjusted in real time.
How much does a session cost?
InMotion Wellness Studio offers a free 30-minute demo session for first-time clients so you can experience the benefits of assisted stretching risk-free. Pricing for regular sessions varies based on package options and frequency. Call (434) 215-3931 or visit the website to discuss pricing and find the best package for your goals.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a brief intake discussion where your stretch therapist asks about your goals, areas of pain or tightness, activity level, and any injuries or limitations. They'll then guide you through a customized stretch session, working one-on-one in a private setting. You'll remain fully clothed (wear comfortable athletic clothing) and lie on a padded table while the therapist manually stretches your muscles and joints. Most clients feel immediate relief and increased range of motion after the first session. The therapist will recommend a frequency based on your needs — some clients come weekly for maintenance, others multiple times per week during injury recovery.
Who is assisted stretching best for?
InMotion serves a wide range of clients: athletes looking to improve performance and prevent injury, people recovering from surgery or injuries, desk workers with chronic neck and back pain, seniors wanting to maintain mobility and independence, and anyone seeking stress relief and better flexibility. Assisted stretching is safe and beneficial for most people, but if you have acute injuries, recent surgeries, or specific medical conditions, it's best to consult with your doctor first. The therapists will work within your comfort level and adjust techniques to your body's current state.
How do I book a session?
Call (434) 215-3931 to schedule your free 30-minute demo session or book a full session. You can also visit the website at inmotionwellnessstudio.com/forest to learn more and submit an inquiry form. The Forest studio is open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with flexible appointment times to fit your schedule.
How often should I come for assisted stretching?
Frequency depends on your goals and current condition. Athletes in training or people recovering from injuries often benefit from 2-3 sessions per week initially, then taper to weekly maintenance. Clients managing chronic pain or seeking general wellness typically come 1-2 times per week. Your therapist will assess your body and recommend a plan during your first session. Many clients notice significant improvements within 3-5 sessions.
Do I need to be flexible to benefit from assisted stretching?
No — assisted stretching is beneficial for all flexibility levels. In fact, people who are tight or inflexible often see the most dramatic improvements because the therapist can safely guide your muscles beyond what you could achieve on your own. Whether you can't touch your toes or you're a yoga instructor, InMotion's therapists customize every session to your current range of motion and help you make measurable progress.
Can assisted stretching help with specific injuries or chronic pain?
Yes. Many clients come to InMotion for relief from chronic conditions like lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension, IT band tightness, hip stiffness, plantar fasciitis, and post-surgical recovery. Assisted stretching helps by loosening tight muscle structures, improving joint mobility, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation. While it's not a replacement for physical therapy or medical treatment, it's highly complementary and often accelerates recovery. Always consult your doctor if you have a recent injury or medical condition before starting.
“Today was my second session with Chelsea and I’ve been feeling so much better! (I am working on glute and low back tightness that I can’t stretch very well on my own.) She has helped me understand the different program options and she’s knowledgeable and professional but also super cool and fun. I’m very happy to be getting the benefits of assisted stretching; it’s already making a big difference in my range of motion and pain level. 10/10 - highly recommend!”

“Amazing! That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of my experience here at InMotion today. Sean was personable, friendly, and clearly explained everything that I needed to know as we worked through the consultation and assessments. By halfway through, I knew I would want to come back. I walked away feeling like a new person. I highly recommend trying this out!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ InMotion Stretch in Forest is amazing. The team is professional, welcoming, funny, and creates such a relaxed atmosphere with genuinely positive vibes. Everyone there is friendly and makes you feel comfortable right away. I feel so good every time I go — both physically and mentally. And if you combine two 30-minute sessions for a full hour? Absolute game changer! 💥 I’ll take a 1-hour session at InMotion over happy hour at a bar any day! 😄✨️🌱☮️”

“I had hip and leg pain which has been abated because of the expert assistance of Maddie, Chelsea and Matt. I book with whoever is available and have found each one is knowledgeable and helpful to provide relief of pain. I desire to have deep stretches regularly as part of my health maintenance regime. I feel better than ever and move like someone 15 years younger than I am. Debbie, who is the Administrator, is up front with a big smile and funny story. I am grateful that this business is available to me and convenient to where I live. Thank you 🫶💪🦵”

“I only started going here recently, but it's been a great experience so far. Sean and Matt we're very polite and very easy to communicate with. I let them know what my expectations were and they were never pushy and just helped me realize what my range of mobility concerns were and we will slowly work towards getting better on them. I am looking forward to the remainder of my sessions.”
