testimonials
I’ve been experiencing nagging shoulder pain for years after a lifting overuse injury,but no other PT/chiro/doctor made lasting progress. Within a couple months of working with Stretch Affect, I feel the best I have in a decade!
The guys there worked with me closely and followed up frequently and I have been pain free since i got started on their program.
A collaborative approach to helping me get the relief I needed and put me on a plan to reducing and eventually eliminating my pain and helping me to live the life I enjoyed once again.
I come to stretch affect to be able to continue doing the things I enjoy and do them pain free.
Their initial assessment and programming that followed has allowed me to work out pain free for the first time in years.
