FlexABLE Assisted Stretching and Wellness
Nate & Lyndsey Lavalle
Assisted stretching is a guided, hands-on approach that helps improve flexibility and release tight muscles. Instead of stretching on your own, a Stretch Coach gently moves your body through a safe and supported range of motion, allowing muscles to relax more deeply. FlexABLE uses a contract-release method known as PNF stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) to improve mobility, reduce tension, and increase range of motion in a controlled and effective way.
A common thing people say before coming in is, "But I can stretch on my own." And the honest reply is, "Sure — but will you?" Most of us intend to stretch, but consistency is hard to maintain without guidance. Assisted stretching provides accountability and real progress. Another phrase the team hears often is, "I'm not flexible enough for that," or even "You'll break me!" The truth is the body is far more adaptable than people think — and that's the point. You don't need to be flexible to start. You come to FlexABLE to become more flexible.
FlexABLE helps people move with ease, stay active, and feel their best through these personalized stretch sessions. The goal is to reduce stiffness, support joint health, and bring more comfort into daily life. FlexABLE truly believes that movement is medicine — that feeling good isn't something you leave behind with age or routine, but something you can build and maintain over time.
When FlexABLE opened three years ago, there wasn't anything quite like it in New Hampshire. Founders Nate and Lyndsey Lavallee saw how many people were juggling work, family, and everyday responsibilities while living with discomfort they assumed was "just normal." FlexABLE opened to show there is another way to feel. Some clients come only for assisted stretching, while others combine stretching with personal training. Either way, the intention is the same: help people move better so they can keep doing what they love.
Relationships are at the heart of FlexABLE's approach. The team takes time to understand what matters to each person — their lifestyle, goals, and what they hope to return to comfortably. Nate believes real progress begins with trust, and clients often describe the studio as welcoming and encouraging from the moment they walk in.
FlexABLE works with a wide range of individuals: young athletes building confidence, desk workers reversing hours of sitting, golfers and pickleball players staying mobile and injury-free, runners and skiers improving recovery, and adults who want to stay active and independent. Many clients notice that stretching reduces aches, improves balance and posture, and boosts energy. Even those who feel "fine" are often surprised by how much better they can feel.
One thing that makes FlexABLE unique is its connection to the community. Nate grew up in Manchester, and Lyndsey (Peterson) Lavallee was born and raised in Bedford, so the studio was built with a genuine understanding of the people they serve. FlexABLE has grown through relationships, trust, and word of mouth — which continues to shape its warm, personal feel. Every session is customized. Some clients choose a full 50-minute stretch, while others split time with balance, strength, or core work. Each session reflects what the body needs that day.
After three strong years in Manchester, FlexABLE expanded to Concord this past year, with plans to continue growing throughout Southern New Hampshire. Their team of Stretch Coaches is expanding as well. Even with growth, Nate continues to work with clients directly, believing that leading from within sets the tone for care and culture.
FlexABLE is also active in the community. They partner with organizations like Dismas Home, a transitional living program for women, and GoodLife, a 55-plus wellness center. They participate in local races, golf tournaments, and wellness events — and they bring movement directly into the workplace through corporate "lunch and learn" sessions that teach simple stretches people can use throughout the day to feel better.
FlexABLE already works with many Bedford residents, and the fit has been natural. Bedford values long-term health, staying active, and investing in well-being for the sake of family, joy, and independence. Many first-time clients leave saying, "This is exactly what I needed." Those moments inspire the team every day.
As FlexABLE grows, its mission remains the same: help people move better, feel better, and live better — because when movement feels good, everything else in life feels a little better too.
