Integrated Therapeutic Stretching™ (I.T.S)
Integrated Therapeutic Stretching™ (I.T.S)
Assisted Therapeutic Stretching on Long Island
Have you ever seen your dog or cat get up and start to move without stretching first? We think of ourselves as the most advanced creatures on the planet, and yet we continually ignore this most basic of needs.
Do you notice that you feel compelled to stretch when you wake up and again when you’re tired at the end of the day? This instinctive urge is nature’s way of telling you that you need to move more oxygen around your body and yet we spend our days sitting at our desks in the same contracted position — barely moving.
When we don’t stretch regularly, we overuse, fatigue, and shorten and tighten our muscles and the connecting tissues. This leads to decreased circulation, reduced flexibility, and an increased risk of injury or disease. It’s time we stopped being so preoccupied with our daily lives and started tuning in to what our bodies are trying to tell us instead. This is where professional assisted stretching helps!

Why Choose a Professional Like Marjorie Over a Stretching Franchise?
When it comes to improving flexibility, relieving tension, and addressing mobility issues, not all stretching services are created equal. While stretching franchises may offer convenience, their standardized approaches can’t compare to the expertise, personalization, and results a trained professional like Marjorie Brook provides. Here’s why choosing Marjorie Brook for professionally assisted full-body stretching is the smarter and safer choice for your body:
- Expertise and Training: Marjorie brings over 25 years of hands-on experience in therapeutic stretching, anatomy, and injury rehabilitation. Franchise staff receive minimal training – sometimes only a few hours – focused on basic stretching techniques and lack comprehensive knowledge about anatomy and injury recovery. Marjorie’s extensive training ensures that each stretch is performed safely and effectively, tailored to your needs.
- Customized Care: Franchises tend to operate like fast food for stretching with a one-size-fits-all routine that neglects individual needs. Marjorie takes the time to understand your body’s unique history, including past injuries, surgeries, or chronic pain. Her sessions are entirely customized to address your goals, ensuring maximum benefit. Sessions are exclusively one-on-one providing focused care without distractions.
- Significant Improvements: Marjorie’s patients tend to notice significant improvements following her assisted stretching sessions including improved posture, reduce pain, and looser muscles. In fact, patients mention she is able to help them when other practitioners including stretching professionals, massage therapists, physical therapists, and chiropractors haven’t.
- Focus on Education and Empowerment: Marjorie educates you on proper techniques and self-care strategies so you can maintain results between sessions and become self-sufficient. Stretch franchises are more likely to focus on getting you to come back for repeat visits.
- Privacy and Comfort: Marjorie offers a serene, private environment where you are the sole focus. This personalized attention fosters relaxation and ensures the highest level of care compared to assisted stretching locations on Long Island which are shared spaces with minimal privacy during your session.
Stretching & the Aging Process
Staying flexible as we age is something we all need to work towards. After all, loss of mobility doesn’t happen overnight — it’s a slow process that creeps up on you. Many of us don’t recognize this until our bodies become imbalanced and compensation sets in, and we begin to suffer significant pain or discomfort. I believe it’s vital that we become actively engaged in maintaining our flexibility through daily stretching. Now is the time to start helping your body perform as it was designed to, so that it can continue to perform over time.
There’s a common belief that cardiovascular workouts and strength training is all the body needs to stay in shape. And there’s an even bigger misconception that stretching can hinder athletic performance. The truth is your body cannot function properly without flexibility training. Stretching is a workout in itself and is indispensable.

What Marjorie’s Clients Have Been Saying
Marjorie is amazing!!! Wonderful personality, very welcoming, and super knowledgeable! The best I’ve found since my shoulder injury. Her backyard/patio is private and so relaxing. She also has a sauna set up which is the cherry on top after your massage. I’m overdue for an appointment but I make sure to always let my friends know about her!
Working with Marjorie has been a life changing experience. After engaging for a few years with other practitioners and their alternative modalities, I was still suffering from having serious difficulties with mobility.
Her experience, intuition and the physical things that she does with me, have created immediate change. Some are large and others are small changes and there are always changes-yeah, and that makes me very happy.
That said, Marjorie is kind, intelligent and truly a compassionate person and I honestly believe who and how she is makes the healing even more potent .

“Marjorie is a miracle worker. Her ability to work with scar tissue has saved me from having a third surgery on capsular contracture. She is so knowledgeable on how scar tissue impacts your entire body and she will have you feeling like you have a new body after 1 session. I’m so grateful to have found her and her practice. She has also introduced me to cupping for my upper back stiffness and the only way I can describe it is absolutely invigorating. I am breathing and moving in a way I didn’t know was possible thanks to Marjorie”
“Marjorie Brook’s a wonderful massage therapist, extremely knowledgeable about how to improve the lack of skin elasticity secondary to radiation therapy, skillful in post-operative scar tissue release as well as improving muscle injury. She uses various techniques in order to improve long term range of motion for clients suffering from these issues. Marjorie has improved mobility thus improving my quality of life”

Marjorie’s work is life changing, I highly recommend her to everyone who has had any type of surgery. I have tried many different kinds of therapies to heal from my emergency surgery, and was still struggling with everyday activities. After just one session the area around the surgery is moving freely, pain is gone, I feel more like myself and am able to do activities that were not possible for me before. I am amazed at the amount of healing just from one session, it is a miracle. Additionally, Marjorie is very professional, understanding and kind. I am very grateful for her amazing…

I’ve been going to Marjorie for several years, I feel well supported by her. I go for scar work, stretching and she always seems to know exactly what to do to help clear up my physical issues. If you’re looking for a one size fits all massage that helps for short term only then go elsewhere - between her knowledge of different modalities and her experience, she adjusts to help you with find what you need to heal the pain. She’s honest about the time needed and your cooperation - it didn’t get like that in an hour, but sometimes she can fix it in an hour session. I highly recommend…

I'm indebted to Marjorie. She is highly skilled talented practitioner.
After several months of physical therapy for an injury that would not heal, I felt doibtful that my pain and mobility issues would respond to treatment. Thankfully, my sister referred me to Marjorie who had helped several of her family members of all different ages recover from injuries. After my very first session with Marjorie, I felt reduced pain and increased flexibility. And the healing progressed with every session after that. Marjorie also taught me about optimal body alignment and mechanics to support recovery…
