Sports Recovery with Compression
Compression Therapy at StretchPlex helps your legs feel lighter, less sore, and more refreshed—fast.
We use special air-filled sleeves that gently squeeze your legs from your feet all the way up to your thighs. This motion helps push built-up fluid and waste out of your legs and back toward your heart and lymph system, where your body can flush it out naturally.
Why it Works:
- Boosts circulation in your legs
- Speeds up muscle recovery
- Reduces swelling and soreness
- Helps your body feel more balanced and energized
Whether you’re on your feet all day, training hard, or just need a reset, compression therapy is a quick and effective way to feel better.
Bonus: It feels amazing.
Most of our clients say it feels like a deep, relaxing massage—and they leave feeling refreshed and recharged.

We recently took our teenage son to an appointment with Gage in Hockessin. He asked great questions, and answered all of ours. Gage patiently explained things to us in a way that was very professional. Gage was absolutely amazing and we hope to work with him again.

Stretchplex has been a godsend! I’m always on my feet as a nurse and get aches and pains. But when I leave Stretchplex, they all go away!! I can’t recommend their assisted stretching enough!

As a dedicated runner now in my 80s I’ve benefited over the years from visits to Performance Physical Therapy for help with various injuries incurred out on the roads and backcountry trails. In addition to the rapid recovery I’ve experienced, I also got to know the organization’s innovative and customer-focused CEO Steve Rapposelli, mostly via his great exercise videos and emails which have enhanced my appreciation for his approach to healing based on a genuine concern for the well being of his clients.
It’s not just their knowledge and skills as physical therapists that Steve and his colleagues bring to a client’s aid; their approach to treatment also reflects the virtue of empathy—the compassion and care for others that’s inspired thousands of satisfied customers to rate this firm the best in the business. These praises also apply to PPT’s sister company StretchPlex and the great therapist at the Hockessin, Delaware location that’s been helping me recover from a spinal fracture that resulted from a fall last summer — Sarah Rockhold. When I decided to try the StretchPlex solution to the chronic soreness of achy muscles and stiff joints I suffered in the aftermath of my fall, Sarah and her co-worker Joslin made me feel right at home and it wasn’t long before the misery and pain of my injury was on the wane. Thank you Steve and thank you ladies.

Stretch and Flex is an outstanding company to work with! Matt is absolutely awesome at what he does—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping people. His staff are some of the best people you could ever deal with: friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond. I highly recommend Stretch and Flex to anyone looking for top-quality service and a team you can trust. You won’t be disappointed! 💪

I am so grateful to have found Sydney at StretchPlex in Hockessin DE. She is the first personal trainer I have ever had that truly listens to me. She knows how AND adapts workouts to my needs as we go. I have a number of health issues so this is really important to me. Yet, she still pushes me! She is the reason I use StretchPlex in Hockessin and continue to go back.

I signed up for an introductory 50-minute assisted stretch session at StretchPlex’s Hockessin location. Upon crossing the threshold, I was greeted with a smile and pleasant conversation. Mackenzie was my trainer. She was full of positive energy and made sure to explain to me what she was doing and why as she assisted me with my stretching. Given the immediate improvement in my flexibility, I signed up to return next week for another assisted stretching session. Give it a try!

Here’s a BIG thumbs up for Stretchplex!
I made the decision to sign up last October and have not missed a weekly session since! One of the best health & wellness decisions I’ve made in a long time….
Three bullet points highlighting the benefits of stretching :
**Improved Flexibility and Mobility**: Weekly stretching sessions have significantly enhanced my flexibility, making daily activities easier and more comfortable. I feel more agile and can move with greater ease! Pickleball is much more fun! lol
- **Reduced Muscle Tension and Pain**: Regular stretching has helped alleviate muscle tension and discomfort from a chronic sports injury, contributing to an overall sense of well-being. It's amazing how much more relaxed I feel after each session, leading to less pain in my joints and muscles.
- **Enhanced Balance and Stability**: Stretching has improved my balance and coordination, helping me maintain stability in my movements, especially with my favorite activities such as biking , hiking, swimming and of course, Pickleball!!!
I highly recommend giving weekly stretching a try…
My Body Coach, Mackenzie , is phenomenal, but as I’ve watched the other Coach’s work with clients I would say Stretchplex employs dedicated professionals who know how to deliver exceptional service!!!

I attend StretchPlex in Hockessin. I look forward to my weekly stretching sessions with Maureen like getting a massage. My personal training sessions with Mary are just that; personalized towards my goals and limitations. She’s quick to modify exercises if my body needs it. Both of these ladies are friendly and knowledgeable, and offer great tips for me to try at home to work on problem areas.

I started with Stretch Plex 2 months ago and it was the best decision ever. This place is welcoming, friendly and clean. All the employees made me feel comfortable. I didn’t realize how much stress I was feeling in my body until it was pointed out and stretched out. If I could go everyday after work I would. I tell all my friends about stretch Plex. Give this place a try. You will not regret it!

Mary at StretchPlex in Hockessin is awesome! I’ve been going for over 3 months and will not miss a session. I had major back surgery in 1994 - StretchPlex has enabled me to play golf consecutive days without pain!! The entire team is great. Especially Coop! The office mascot..
Highly recommend Mary and StretchPlex!

In the last year I had two knee replacements. After completing physical therapy I went to StretchPlex in Hockessin. I have worked weekly with Mary LaFrance for 8-9 months. Her help has been extraordinary. Careful, strong and knowledgeable. I always leave feeling invigorated. My total body flexibility has never been better since I was a kid. She’s also a really nice fun person (Loves dogs) and makes the whole experience very pleasant. I recommend her highly with reservation.

I was a bit nervous at my first session at StretchPlex. However, Chris is awesome and addressed all my questions. He’s kind, professional and very knowledgeable and customized a routine to address my concerns. I always left feeling relax and more flexible. Never any pain! I plan to make this a part of my healthcare routine. I highly recommend Chris and this location.

I've been seeing Brian or Julius for the past 18 months, for post op stretching after a total knee replacement. After each session I feel more rejuvenated and relaxed than when I entered. The staff is friendly and listens to the needs of their clients. They are never pushy, but instead, sincerely caring of how to best serve you. I've recommended to many friends and will continue to do so.

StretchPlex, how do I rate thee? Let me count the ways: excellent communication with my 'stretcher' (Chris), no stress appointment setups, ways to utilize my sessions (once, twice a week, skip a week, etc.), just a really good feeling after my sessions where I look forward to the next one. Thanks for being here.

I have been a client of Mary’s at StrechPlex in Hockessin for over 3 years. It is a welcomed break in my schedule. Mary holds me accountable while working on overall body health and flexibility…we cycle and work on all muscle groups. The atmosphere and standards are top notch.

I throughly enjoy and look forward to my weekly “Stretch” appointment with Chris.
Chris is exceptionally wonderful at stretching particular body muscles that you didn’t know you had or realize needed to be stretched. Chris has a friendly, relaxing, and at ease comfort personality as he takes his time working with you as if you were his only patient for the remainder of the day. As he stretches your muscles gently and slowly, he also ask “if you are good” as he continues to accomplish the full stretch. Chris is very professional and extremely knowledgeable with the body parts and its muscles that you will feel ten times greater and lighter after your session with him then you did before.
I highly recommend Chris as well as the facility, which is very clean, airy, and comfortable. Upon opening the door, you are treated with extreme kindness as you are greeted and welcomed with a warm smile.
I look forward to my next session with Chris every week, as I feel so much better, looser, and lighter, walking out versus walking in.

Linnea and Mark are magicians. I actually felt like I did when I was in college. Linnea unlocked my muscles and facia, helping me the become again. I highly recommend StretchPlex. Immaculate facility, professional staff, and incredible results.

I have been going for assisted stretching for about 2 months now. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Victoria at the front desk was so kind. Maureen my coach, is amazing. Each visit I leave feeling a lot less stressed and a whole lot more flexible and wanting to move more. I had a right femur replaced with rod and screws last year and I’m still healing. To anyone who is feeling trapped in their own body and full of pain, been in traditional therapy, and still need that extra push, this works wonders. It’s the best thing I have done for myself since the surgery and it feels great!!

I recently started Assisted Stretching as I have felt quite stiff following knee replacement surgery. Emily has been helping me to become more flexible and, although I have had only two sessions, I feel that my muscles are getting looser. She listens to my feedback and helps me where I need it. To help me rehabilitate completely, I plan to complete my sessions and then follow up with personal training with Emily to get back into shape. Thank you, Emily.

My son started with Mary a couple of weeks ago for compression therapy. After talking with her about his needs she recommended assisted stretching for him. He says he feels more loose while playing football and he enjoys chatting with her. Would 100% recommend!

OMG you will definitely feel a big difference after one assisted stretch visit! I have been feeling tight and stiff for quite some time. I can now get out of the car after an extended trip without feeling stiff! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Maureen explains everything in detail and makes sure the client knows to advise of their limits. I find it very relaxing.

I was a couch potato until I had health issues that prompted me to make changes. I have been working with Mary for about a year now. She is great at knowing when to push a little, and when to back off a little. Mary has tailored a program to help me improve my health and my strength, and is always mindful of my needs. She is always ready with an encouraging word. In addition to being my personal trainer, Mary does assisted stretching with me on a regular basis. This has helped me so much! It cuts down on my level of achiness and helps me maintain flexibility. I highly recommend Mary's services.
