I was referred to Stretch from a friend that had some of the same lower back issues that I had (have). To play with my children was difficult and hard to do for a prolonged amount of time. Also I was not able to play golf or softball without pain while playing. Now since being at Stretch and working with Brian I am able to run around again with my children for as long as they want and able to bike ride pain free. I am also back to playing sports again. Playing softball and golf pain free, but also went out and played tennis for the first time in months. It feels great getting back to what I consider normal with my active lifestyle. Thank you everyone for what you do and what we will continue to do. Happy Stretch Client!

I have been dealing with back pain from scoliosis and it has gotten progressively worse over the past few years. I was to the point where I couldn’t walk, sit, or do anything for any length of time without a lot of pain. I decided to come in for a consultation, but honestly didn’t have much hope that I could feel much better. After Brian listened to me and where my pain was, he worked on those areas and after just a few sessions I was already feeling so much better. After a month and a half, I am feeling even better and feel like I have my life back, thank you Brian! I am now moving on to the mobility/stretch specialist and look forward to even more progress.

I had lower back pain from minor injuries while in the military. Since I didn’t want the issues to get worse, I sought help from the team here. They developed a plan to develop the needed stabilizing muscles that would better support me. Within just a few weeks I started seeing improvements in my pain as well as general stability. The team here is great and took excellent care of me.

I started with Stretch right after my shoulder surgery. While rehabbing my shoulder, I started having pain and loss of motion in my right hip. It got so bad that I could not walk through the mall without resting. After working with Kim both shoulder and hip have felt better than they have in years. I can enjoy my hobbies again as well as being able to enjoy a simple walk through the neighborhood.

My experience at Stretch PT has been so much more successful than I ever would have believed. I now have nearly full mobility in my hands compared to the stiffness and pain I had when I first came here. It definitely proves that with movement and exercise the hand pain lessens greatly and hand strength improves. I can now open jars, lift bowls, pans and work pain free in the garden and yard.

I had been having severe left hip pain for months that was not getting any better. The pain was in my hip and would radiate to my backside and down my leg. This pain would keep me up at night and made it hard to do daily activities at home (such as housework etc) and at my job which requires long periods of standing and sitting. My chiropractor referred me to Kim at Stretch PT in January. By the end of March I was pain free! Before I went there I did not realize how much my body had been compensating for other parts that were weak. My goal is to now keep strengthening these muscles to prevent this from happening again. I would highly recommend Kim and her team. They are all very knowledgeable and professional. Going to Stretch.

I was having issues doing low bar squats in my powerlifting training due to tightness and pain in my upper back/lat muscles. Within 1 visit to stretch and the exercises they gave me to complete outside my appointments, I was feeling so much better. My mobility and strength increased greatly in my shoulders allowing me to get into a better position when I lift.
Thank you Kim and everyone else at Stretch!

I had pain in both legs and pain in bending over. With my PT at stretch I now no longer have the pain and I am more mobile.

When I first started coming here I could barely move. My pain was constant and no matter what I did the pain was unbearable. I could not sit or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Now I can do so many more things that I didn't think I would ever be able to get back to. I can workout with no pain and the stretches that they gave me to do work magic as long as you stick to it. Coming here was one of the best decisions I ever made. This place is awesome.

My experience here has been wonderful. Everyone here has been so good and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Stretch Physical Therapy to anyone. The therapists know what they are doing. The receptionist is great and works with you to schedule out your appointments (Alana).

Pain from a meniscus tear in my right knee was getting too bad to deal with, so I scheduled a surgery to get is scoped and started PT at Stretch. Long story short, the girls at Stretch have me on the right track and have me feeling well enough to cancel my surgery and get on with things. Thanks

Before I started this program, I used to not be able to take walks and my feet hurt every night. Now I am taking walks, cutting grass, and do not have the pain I used to.

I couldn’t stand for long periods of time before starting physical therapy. I also couldn’t sit for long periods of time. Now, I am at nearly 100% instead of being achy every morning when I wake up.

I never felt well when I came in the first time. After several weeks it was like a complete change in range of motion...Perfect. Great.

I would enthusiastically recommend Stretch to anyone having pain. My experience has been great. I had been having tightness in my neck and shoulders due to my forward head posture. The hands on therapy along with the strengthening exercises have improved my neck and shoulders greatly and have proven to be effective. Thanks to everyone at Stretch!

I came to Stretch with painful bursitis in my hip. It was swollen, painful, and limiting my normal activities; specifically, I was modifying my usual exercise routine to prevent further discomfort. The swelling, while not completely gone, is down from where it was. The pain is only noticeable with direct and forceful pressure on the spot I injured. I am now able to workout as I like without fear of pain. The entire staff at Stretch is amazing. I always looked forward to my visits and will miss coming, which seems crazy. 🙂 Double thumbs up!

Before physical therapy I had pain in my knee and hip when I would dance. It was hard to do a lot of the moves I was required to do. After physical therapy, the pain in my knee and hip is basically gone. I have improved in dance and the pain related to my hypermobility is also down to a minimum. I love physical therapy and seeing how much I have improved.

I came to Stretch PT to lean to better manage my lower back pain. I do my new stretching exercises, which work well for me. The Stretch team wanted to develop and learn more, as I found that it would take longer to “bounce back from a back pain episode”. I have learned more about stretching and strengthening techniques through my sessions here, as well as the concept of strengthening the core at home.

I almost got in two wrecks because I couldn't move my neck to the right to see if there was a car beside me. I had a lot of pain when I played chain volleyball and now I don't. I used to have about 6 pillows I would use throughout the night. I couldn't get my neck comfortable. I can use one pillow all night without pain now. When I talked to friends that were on the second floor, my neck would kill me even if I moved farther. I now have no more pain.

About 5 years ago, I started coming to physical therapy for my Achilles. Even though it hurts sometimes, you have to push through it to get better. It feels 50% than it did in the beginning.

When I first came to Stretch, I had continuous low back and hip pain that made it very difficult to do housework or walk my dog. Thanks to the Stretch team, I am doing much better. I also started going to an exercise program and changed my eating habits and I started to lose weight. All of this together has helped tremendously.

For over a year and a half, I dealt with hip area pain. I have been to four different doctors and have had two cortisone injections later and nothing was helping. After hearing Kim on the radio, I decided to try Stretch. After about three months of therapy, I am mostly pain free, and my flexibility has greatly improved. I recommend Stretch before ever considering surgery. It kept me out of the operating room!

Before Stretch, I struggled with knee problems. Stretch performed very professional and took care of my pain and problems. I would highly recommend anyone for their problems.

My experience at Stretch was great. I came in with a lower lumbar strain that has been recurring over the last couple of years. I saw a few different physical therapists and all were very professional and knowledgeable and helped me deal with my injury. The exercises and stretches that I was shown were very useful and helped me continue to be able to work. I don't have the severe back pain that I had a few months before thanks to the hard work of everyone at Stretch!

I’m a gymnast and had very very bad back pain to the point where it hurt to stand up and go up and down the stairs. I had to stop practicing because it much so much strain on my back. When I started at Stretch, I was very weak and there was a lot of things that hurt. Through the process of strengthening exercises at Stretch and at home, my pain gradually started to lessen. By the end, I had no pain and am now allowed to start going back to practice and gradually add back in the skills I could once do so easily.

I had a back spasm that lasted over 2 weeks. Some pain medication dulled the pain, but I couldn't walk more than 200 feet, go up and down stairs or even carry anything over 20 pounds; including my son. After a few sessions, the Stretch team found a way to remove the pain entirely. They didn’t stop there, they worked to find the source of the problem and after fixing that, they helped me to build stability and then gain more strength. With the exercises to take home, the healing process has been life changing. Now I can exercise, do house and yard work, and more importantly carry my son.

Before I came to Stretch, I had been to numerous doctors and chiropractors and have had numerous amounts of tests done. I was in so much pain that my husband had to pull me out of a chair most of the time. Now I am back to moving, stretching and doing daily activities. I am so glad that I was sent to Stretch!

I had a very good experience at Stretch. Everyone was very nice and extremely helpful. I had difficulty walking before I came to Stretch, but I can now move much better!

Before I came back to Stretch, my pain was starting to act up. I knew the summer and after more activities were about to begin, so I decided to get a head start on the pain. When I returned, they suggested the deep laser therapy. After about 12 sessions, my pain is completely gone. Before if I did too much, my sciatic nerve would knot up, causing pain and numbness down my leg. Now both are gone, I do not have trouble gardening. I have used Stretch before to prevent going for more injections and surgeries. I use them now with even better results and I hope to continue to see them in the future. Thanks Stretch!

I came to Stretch in search of help for my chronic neck pain; I’d been going to a chiropractor regularly for a few months, and although I would occasionally get relief but it was always temporary--sometimes the pain had returned by the time I got home from the chiropractor. I’d driven by Stretch many times, and I am not sure what made me finally make an appointment...but I’m so glad I did! The combination of hands-on treatment and exercise instruction made all the difference for me. In two months, I went from barely being able to turn my head from side to side to moving freely, pain free! The whole team at Stretch is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun and encouraging. I highly recommend them!

When I first came to Stretch, I came with a recommendation and an injured shoulder. Unlike other physical therapy locations I have been to, Stretch has a more personal approach. The therapists at Stretch did not only focus on my shoulder, but also the surrounding and associated muscle groups. The result has been a more complete recovery. I recently injured my hamstring and made sure that my orthopaedist referred me to Stretch. The staff is very thorough, professional and attentive. Again, rather than focus on my hamstring, they also considered surrounding, contributing muscle groups which led to a complete and full recovery.

After trying a variety of things to help my tennis elbow, I found myself at Stretch Physical Therapy. It was through their treatment plan that I finally started to experience relief, and have actual healing. Stretch was able to identify the root cause and help me work through the issue, which in turn helped my elbow. When I came to Stretch, I was not able to use a blow dryer, mop the floor, or attend a regular Pilates class. After Stretch, I was able to use my blow dryer without pain, pull my luggage through the airport, and return to my regular Pilates class. I am truly thankful to everyone at Stretch Physical Therapy!

Before I came to Stretch, I had trouble opening jars. I can now open jars with no problem. I also had trouble reaching over my head and behind my back. I feel much better now, and I am no longer waking up in pain. Thanks Stretch!

I was dizzy when I began to sleep on my left side, now not so much! I went to the hairdressers and when they put my head back and upwards, I started to feel very dizzy. Now I have no problem, the Stretch team helped to cure my vertigo. I am no longer dizzy and do not have any more problems.

When I came here I had difficulty reaching with my left arm, then it froze. We have worked through all that. Now I can wash my hair and curl it no trouble. I can also dry my back. I can now get things off the end table on my left side with my left arm. I am pretty much back to normal now. The people here at Stretch are very nice and informative. Thanks Stretch!

I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis, for which I had to wear a boot and walk with crutches. I was not allowed to put any weight on my foot for about five weeks. After treatments, my doctor recommended that I go to Physical Therapy. A friend at church told me what a great experience they had at Stretch PT. I decided to give Stretch a try and I am glad that I did. You can be assured that the people at Stretch Pt know what to do and how to do it right. As a bonus, they are very nice people to work with. Now I can do all the things I used to do with pain. Thanks Stretch!

When I first started with Stretch Physical Therapy I needed at least 30 minutes to feel better after getting out of bed. After sitting at my desk at work, I needed to bend over to walk for a few minutes. Ever since I started doing physical therapy, I have had much less trouble with these activities. Most days everything is so much better.

When I started, I could barely stand up straight. I can now perform all normal function. The staff at Stretch was very professional and very helpful.

I have had a long history of back pain, starting from my stint in the army, which was almost 10 years ago, with per flares every few years. The last flare started about 2 years ago. The doctors and other physical therapist I have seen have not helped much. Coming to Stretch has been a totally different experience. The combination of laser and physical therapy here has been totally effective. I have not just felt pain reduction, but also a fluidity of movement that I have not felt in years. The laser is very relaxing and seems to help initiate the physical therapy session with great results.

My lumbar back pain had gotten so bad that I could not rollover in bed. Most significantly, I had to discontinue my lap swimming. After 2-1/2 months of physical therapy, Stretch has resolved all my pain issues, and has gotten me to where I am able to swim again.

I initially started PT several weeks ago with limited mobility. My symptoms were that I couldn’t walk too far and I couldn’t bend over or stand up. I was unable to do various tasks at home and at work. My personal restrictions were different chores at home, like washing the dishes, which resulted in severe pain. I have a little more flexibility now after physical therapy with Stretch. Now with the proper exercises for home and work, I am able to enjoy life with less pain.

I came in with a lot of ankle pain and it made it difficult for me to figure skate. After a few visits, I feel 100% better. Stretch helped me get back to competing and doing everyday activities. Everyone was so nice and they all helped me to become pain free.

Before physical therapy, I needed to relearn all the activities that I used to perform years ago, before the injury and hip replacement. The Stretch team challenged me and made my recovery very quick and rewarding. Within 3 weeks of the replacement, they had me doing activities that I had not done in years. I am now walking my dogs on the hills of Beckett Ridge.

My neighbor recommended Stretch when I complained I could not sit with my legs crossed or sleep on either hip. I could not risk this on my own so I began to work with Stretch. I got relief right away but it is a process. By the end of my session I was motivated to continue my exercises and could sit through a movie.

I fractured my L1 vertebrae and was having pain for a little over 3 and a ½ months before I came to Stretch. I started to wear a brace for the pain, when my physician recommended physical therapy. I had a hard time doing everything without having or using assistance. It was hard for me to shower, get dressed, even harder to walk and stand because of the fracture. When I came to Stretch, I came with the intention of regaining my strength from wearing a brace since my fracture. Stretch PT is so much more advanced than other Physical therapists I have been to in the past. If you try Stretch PT, you will definitely see the difference.

When I first visited Stretch, I was having pain in my lower back when I sat for over an hour, as well as whenever I bent over for gardening and even whenever I bent over to tie my shoes. After therapy, I am able to now do all of those activities without pain. And I have been given some exercises to hopefully prevent these problems in the future. Thanks to Stretch for the great care.

The folks at Stretch Physical Therapy have been extremely helpful to me. Compared to other PTs, their approach is somewhat unique. They are giving me the tools to take control of my personal health program.
