Dr.stretch – 1-on-1 assisted stretching in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Dr.stretch is a Japanese stretch studio brand built around one thing: 1-on-1 assisted stretching. A trained stretch trainer moves your body through positions you cannot reach or hold on your own, focusing on wherever you feel tight. Sessions run 40, 60 or 90 minutes at our studios in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
WHAT A SESSION DOES
Personalized 1-on-1 Assisted Stretching
Ease Muscle Tension
Tight, overworked muscles are released gradually, so the everyday stiffness from desks, driving and training is easier to live with.
Boost Flexibility
Regular sessions increase how far your muscles can comfortably lengthen, so everyday movement feels easier.
Support Better Posture
Releasing tight chest, hip and shoulder muscles makes it easier to sit and stand the way you intend to.
Improve Mobility
Your trainer takes each joint through its range, so stiff hips, shoulders and backs move more freely.
Recover Between Workouts
Many clients book after training or a long week, to loosen what exercise and sitting have tightened.
25% off your first session
Your first Dr.stretch session is 25% off at any of our studios.
The Dr.stretch
Approach
You relax; your trainer does the work. With Core Balance Stretch, the Dr.stretch method, the trainer stabilises the joints around a tight area before stretching it, so the stretch lands where the restriction is instead of being absorbed by whatever is already loose.
Stretches Tailored To
Your Needs
Before anything else, your trainer asks what brought you in and checks how you move. The session is built around what they find, and you leave with simple advice for keeping the benefit between visits.
Our Techniques
Core Balance Stretch
Developed for elite professional athletes at first, our Core Balance Stretch protocol is now available to the wider public at Dr.stretch. Over 200 stretching techniques aimed at helping you reach your wellness goals.
Deep Muscle Stretching
Some tightness sits deeper than you can reach alone. Using leverage and careful positioning, your trainer works into the large muscle groups – hips, hamstrings, back and shoulders – at a depth that is hard to achieve on a mat.

Dr.stretch Values
Inclusivity
We welcome every body, every age, and every fitness level. At Dr.stretch, inclusivity means creating a safe, judgment-free space where colleagues feel valued and clients feel comfortable from their very first session.
Discipline
Excellence is built on consistency. We practice discipline in our training standards, punctuality, session structure, and continuous learning. Ensuring every stretch is delivered with precision and professionalism.
Responsibility
We take ownership of outcomes. Whether it’s client progress, safety protocols, or team accountability, we act with integrity and follow through on our commitments.
Self-Care
We believe mobility is maintenance, not a luxury. We promote self-care not only to our clients but also within our team, because a healthy, energized team delivers the best experience.
Trust
Stretching requires vulnerability. We build trust through clear communication, proper technique, and genuine care, so clients feel confident placing their movement goals in our hands.
Respect
We respect time, effort, and individuality. Among colleagues, it means collaboration without ego. With clients, it means listening first and tailoring sessions to their specific needs.
Empathy
We understand that every body tells a different story. Empathy allows us to meet clients where they are, whether they’re recovering, training, or simply seeking relief.
Teamwork
We move better together. Our trainers support one another, share knowledge, and celebrate wins collectively, creating a unified experience across every branch.
Commitment
Results require consistency. We are committed to our clients’ long-term mobility goals and to maintaining the highest standards in every interaction.
Hospitality
From the welcome at reception to the final stretch, we prioritize warmth and attentiveness. Hospitality at Dr.stretch means every client leaves feeling cared for, valued, and eager to return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have private rooms?
Yes. Every Dr.stretch studio in the UAE has a private, ladies-only room, so female clients can be stretched in privacy. Just mention it when you book.
Does assisted stretching hurt?
Assisted stretching can be mildly uncomfortable when your muscles are very tight and you extend them into stretched positions. Your trainer checks in with you throughout and adjusts the stretch to your comfort. During the stretch, the trainer will ask where you are on your own intensity scale of 1-10. We aim to keep most stretches up to about 7 out of 10; if it gets close to being too intense, just tell your trainer. Some people prefer a more vigorous stretch, others less so – the stretch is in your control.
When should I come for a stretch?
Any time of the day is suitable for stretching and you can select the timing that works best for your schedule. If you plan to workout on the day of your stretch session, we recommend that you come for a stretch session after your workout session, rather than before it.
How often should I stretch?
This will depend on your individual situation and circumstances. Your Dr.stretch trainer will be able to advise on an appropriate frequency and devise a plan of visits to help you achieve your goals.
I have an injury. Is it safe for me to come for assisted stretch session?
If you have an acute injury, please see a doctor or physiotherapist and get their clearance before coming to Dr.stretch. Our trainers are not physiotherapists. If you have chronic pain, discomfort or tightness, assisted stretching is usually fine – as long as your doctor or physiotherapist approves.
What should I wear on my stretching session?
You can wear whatever you will feel comfortable getting stretched in and does not restrict your movement. Our customers wear gym workout / yoga gear, comfortable loose fitting clothes. We also provide loose fitting loungewear in case you do not carry comfortable gear and would like to wear our Dr.stretch loungewear for your stretch - free of charge.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking your preferred slot in advance, as clients with bookings are served first. Our studios get busy at certain times, especially on weekends and weekday evenings. To avoid a wait, book by calling or messaging your studio on WhatsApp.
