Frequently asked questions
Most common MokoFlex questions answered
Massage provides temporary relief by pushing blood into the muscle, but it doesn't change your resting muscle length.
Our stretching classes work on elongating the muscle fibers permanently.
By fixing the anterior pelvic tilt (tight hips pulling your back), we address the root cause of the pain, so the relief lasts.
Yes. We often utilize Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) principles, where you contract a muscle before stretching it.
This triggers a physiological response called autogenic inhibition, effectively "hacking" the muscle to relax further than it naturally would.
It is one of the most effective ways to increase flexibility safely.
It is critical! It is a non-negotiable for anyone who trains and respects their body.
Weightlifting shortens muscle fibers to build tension. Without counter-balancing this with elongation training, you risk losing mobility, which limits your squat depth and overhead reach.
Our classes restore optimal muscle length-tension relationships, actually making you stronger by allowing you to recruit muscle fibers through a larger range of motion.
If you are in acute pain, rest first. But for recovery, yes. Sciatica is often caused by a tight piriformis muscle compressing the nerve.
We use gentle nerve flossing techniques (gliding the nerve without pulling it) to reduce inflammation.
Unlike a general gym class, we can modify movements to ensure you don't over-stretch the sensitive nerve pathway.
The nervous system needs about 6-8 weeks to "trust" a new range of motion. However, immediate improvements in blood circulation and fascial sliding happen after one session.
Consistency is key: doing one intense class a week is more effective for tissue remodeling than doing 5 minutes of light stretching daily.
As we age, our joints lose synovial fluid (natural lubrication), leading to stiffness.
Deep stretching creates a "pumping" effect that circulates nutrient-rich fluid back into the cartilage of the hips, knees, and spine.
This helps keep your joints moving well as you age.
