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 ManagerI graduated in exercise science so helping people feel better physically has always been an interest of mine! The beauty of StretchZone is not only are we helping these people move and feel better but we truly feel like we grow closer to our clients. They become more than that, they become our friends! I feel excited to come to work because it doesn’t feel like work. It truly has become a family atmosphere. Being able to witness the progression of our clients is the most fulfilling part of my job. One of my clients had a cyst on his lower back. In the beginning we weren’t able to do any stretches for the lower back without bothering it. Throughout the weeks I started to see progress in other areas so we tried a lower back stretch again and he was able to do the stretch! We were both excited and he felt great that we could finally help his lower back as well as everything else!”

Stretch Practitioner“I was drawn to Stretch Zone mainly due to my background as a physical therapist assistant. I have always had a passion to help people reach and achieve goals they could not otherwise reach on their own. Being able to see first hand the progress our clients have made; whether it be from clients who have not been able to move around their home without the use of an assisted device, to our golfers who have said they have added 10 yards to there drive, or even our clients who are able to touch their toes for the first time in their life. It gives me joy and a sense of pride to be at the epicenter of their improvement through stretching.”
Autumn Clark
Stretch Practitioner“Since I graduated from USM with a degree in exercise science, I knew I wanted to help people on a higher and more rewarding level. An opportunity presented itself within Stretch Zone, and I took a leap! Now, the clients are like family. I love being able to communicate on a trusting level, and it’s an experience you can’t beat! Ideally, it is not a race, it is a marathon not only for myself but also for the clients. Growing and learning is the best part of life! Personally, I have a couple of clients who suffer in the neuromuscular aspect, and it is most rewarding hearing that, little by little, improvement is not only felt but materialized into everyday routines. Even if some clients do not necessarily have a disorder and just want to come for deep stretches, the benefits (physically and psychologically) are unimaginable on their part as well.”
Melanie Englert
Stretch Practitioner“What first drew me to Stretch Zone were the success stories I’ve heard surrounding the company. I just knew I wanted to be a part of making my community feel better! I love being able to watch and help our clients achieve their personal goals and seeing the joy on their faces gives me joy! I love being able to see my clients immediate, as well as long term, results. From when clients feel looser getting off the table to days later being able to comfortably put their shoes on themselves for the first time in years. We all get so excited when new milestones are reached and I feel so blessed to be able to witness these victories!”
Lisha Turner
Stretch Practitioner“As a Certified Athletic Trainer, I know the importance of flexibility in keeping athletes conditioned for play. I also know how beneficial it is to everyone else. I love that Stretch Zone is bringing that awareness to the rest of the population. Nothing makes me more excited than to hear client stories of how just a few sessions at Stretch Zone have improved their flexibility and how they are able to do things they haven’t done in years. I love being a part of that!”
