What should clients communicate to their flexologist during a session?

Clients should communicate any discomfort or pain experienced during stretches to their flexologist for several important reasons. First, effective communication about discomfort is crucial for ensuring a safe and beneficial stretching session. Stretching should improve flexibility and mobility without causing undue pain or injury. By relaying any pain, clients help the flexologist adjust the intensity of the stretches, modify techniques, or change the approach to accommodate their comfort levels.

Moreover, pain can signal a risk of injury or an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. If a client feels pain during a stretch, the flexologist can provide immediate feedback and support, ensuring that the session remains productive and safe.

Other options, such as previous stretching experiences, maximum flexibility, or duration of stretching may provide useful background information but do not directly address a client's immediate physical response during a session. This response to discomfort is the most critical aspect of maintaining a safe stretching environment and fostering ongoing progress.
