Welcome to Stretch Zone
Lincoln Heights
Unlock your body’s flexibility with Stretch Zone.
Stretch back the years
The effects of aging and working in a modern setting are taking its toll on the body in ways that have never been seen before. But why is this happening? Now more than ever, people are becoming increasingly inactive. Hobbies like reading, playing video games, watching tv, or creating art often leave people sitting for hours at a time in addition to the time spent sitting at school, work, or during their commute.
The Stretch Zone Method® was designed specifically to address these issues. By targeting your body’s nervous system with practitioner assisted stretch in Lincoln Heights, we are able to create lasting gains in both your mobility and flexibility. Our goal isn’t to make you sore by pulling on your limbs, but instead re-educating your nerve-muscle reflex and establishing a more ideal resting muscle tone. When your muscles and body are correctly aligned, it can function and move the intended way.
People are conditioned to live with aches and pains in their body because it is “just part of living,” but you wouldn’t ignore a toothache — so why ignore a backache? You don’t need to go far to get the assisted stretch you need; in fact, you don’t even need to leave Lincoln Heights! Your first 30-minute stretch is free, and you see results immediately.
Stop putting off feeling better when the Stretch Zone Method® can give you instant relief!

The Stretch Zone Method® addresses flexibility from a neurological perspective. This is achieved by dealing with the muscle’s nervous tension (“tonus”) to reach an optimal active range of motion. The goal is not to make a person more “flexible” or “elastic,” but rather enable you to move more functionally by re-establishing a more ideal resting muscle tone. By re-educating the associated nerve-muscle reflex, the Stretch Zone Method® leads to movement becoming easier and more efficient.
Rather than creating soreness by pulling on our limbs to extremes, the Stretch Zone Method® works through the nervous system to achieve lasting gains in flexibility and range of motion. The method rests on the notion that changing and re-educating our muscle’s nervous energy is a major factor in unleashing our body’s intended function. This nervous energy, known as the stretch reflex, is our body’s automatic defense against the dangers of over-stretching. Any movement that goes too fast or too far, or is held for too long, will cause your body to resist with the stretch reflex. Once the reflex is activated, your body has effectively said “no more” and resists the stretch. Any further attempt at stretching becomes counter productive and may even cause long term damage.

General ManagerStretch Zone is a path to a better, healthier, happier life. The moment I heard of, and researched the concept of Stretch Zone along with the methodology behind it, I absolutely had to be a part of it! I’ve been a fitness fanatic all my life, and am thrilled to be able to help people live their healthiest life! I love building relationships with our Members and listening to their stories of how we are helping them live a better life. As the General Manager I personally care about each person that walks through our doors and it thrills me to be a part of a company that is only designed to help people live a better life.
Kathryn Comfort
OwnerMy previous professional background started in managing high-end full service athletic clubs for over 13 years. I enjoyed being in a Membership industry that was designed to help people “feel better and improve themselves”. That led me into Managing, Owning and supporting Private Country Clubs. My passion in the athletic and private country club industry was to provide excellence in meeting and exceeding Members expectations. This passion, when shared with my team mates caused Members to want to invite their friends to come and also enjoy the experience they received at their Club, we call this “Friends Inviting Friends”. We have this same culture at Stretch Zone. We believe that by helping our Members reach their wellness goals, they will be able to live a better quality of life and want to share their experience of Stretch Zone with their friends. My love and passion is building relationships. Stretch Zone allows me to be in an industry where people are wanting to “feel better and improve their quality of life. I enjoy creating relationships with the staff, the Members and their friends is the best part of this business. We want our Members experience with us to show them that together we can help them reach their health and fitness goals in a short period of time and help them maintain their new found Flex-ability For Life!
Savannah Mauricio
Assistant GMHi my name is Savannah. I graduated from UTSA with a Bachelors in Kinesiology with a concentration in Athletic Medicine. Growing up and being on the dance team I knew the importance of stretching. It not only improves my performance but everyday functions. During my second year in college I started going to the gym to improve my physical health. The knowledge I gained about stretching made my workouts a lot more beneficial and helped my mental health. Stretch Zone is the best fit for me because I am able to help people get to a place where they feel so much better physically and mentally. Seeing our Members excitement when they are able to do something that I take for granted, such as tying their shoes, lets me know that my purpose in life is being fulfilled. I cannot wait to continue to make changes in people’s lives!

PractitionerStretch Zone is a great avenue for people looking for a better and more flexible life. I love working at a place that promotes self health and wellness for anyone and everyone. After I graduated from Texas A&M with a BS in Kinesiology and a focus in Motor Behavior, I was looking for a place where health/fitness are the focus, and Stretch Zone was that place! As a Stretch Practitioner, I deeply care about every person that comes into our home so we share with the benefits of stretching.

The community I see, and the results that we provide our members is a privelege and a blessing, and it makes me glad to know I'm making a difference for people of all backgrounds.
