A little tweak to your stretching can yield better results
ST teaches us to become aware of our current capacity, to accept its present limits and provides us with the tools to safely and effectively expand that capacity.

I joined the workshop a few months after my knee procedure. What a revelation it was. I felt muscles work in places I didn’t even realise I had muscles! I discovered more about my posture and why I felt tension in certain parts of my body.
I also learnt how to stretch and ease those rigid muscles and relax my mind. Stretch Therapy exercises not only resulted in less strain on my knees but has contributed to my overall flexibility and range of motion.

Most of the Stretch Therapy techniques were new for me even though I have been working out for last 20 years. And the best part is I found them extremely useful & truly effective in improving my ROM (Range of Motion).
I felt it during my next day workout. So yes, I am going to use most of them regularly as a part of my stretching. And I also would like to come back for more.
I definitely recommend this course for everybody (age 8 to 88). I do know they have varieties for every body & every type (regression to progression).

What began as a Stretch Therapy trial – with lots of skepticism – I am now a total convert. The last 2+ years have been a transformative journey: from relieving and managing lower back/ knee pains to being aware of the tensions and stiffness and learning to relax. The brilliant instructors take you through the various techniques with patience and clear explanation. Thank you Chi Chang and Wai Kuan.

I tore my rotator cuff muscle and had many hours of physiotherapy. The aching pain and tightness on my shoulder muscle was always there due to the injury even after one year.
Wanting to get relief, I was introduced to Stretch Therapy. The initial first 2 weeks was tough. As time passes, the tightness and soreness on my rotator cuff started to go away.
There are many stretching exercises you will learn from the classes. I highly recommend to people that have tried every other treatment for muscle tightness and relaxation. Stretch Therapy has helped me. The instructors are great. They give clear and vivid instructions and are patient.

After I retired, I was doing a fair bit of gardening, brisk walking and a little gym work to keep fit. I thought I was doing enough until a neighbour recommended that I join Stretch Therapy.
It has been a year now, The exercises are targeted and covered almost every part of the body, making me learned about many parts of my body which are stiff and under-used. Now I am feeling more agile and with more strength in my daily chores.
My wife, daughter and son in law are also part of ST. Sometimes, my granddaughter will also join when she visits us. It is a very friendly atmosphere here.

After starting work and having two kids, my fitness deteriorated badly. Still in my 30s’ I already had acquired a flabby tummy, fatty liver, sore back and stiff shoulders. I joined Stretch Therapy workshop for my stiff shoulders and stayed on with the regular classes. Within 2 years, I regained my athleticism. Still on the same job and with 2 young kids, I am able to run 10km a day and no more flabby tummy!
Stretch Therapy has helped me achieve many things that I thought could not have happened for me. Highly recommended.

I’ve always been a rather stiff person, likely a result of long hours on the desk during my journalist career. After retiring, I tried various methods to loosen up, as my stiffness seriously hindered my mobility and ability to sleep well.
During a yoga session, I fainted and ended up in the hospital. I realised I needed something more tailored to my needs. That’s when I came across a Facebook advertisement for Stretch Therapy and decided to attend their 3-hour class. I’ve never felt so thoroughly stretched in my entire life, yet I felt completely refreshed afterwards. When I got home, I slept like a baby. Now I am a regular at Stretch Therapy group classes and feeling a lot better.

I am so glad I listened to my friend and joined Stretch Therapy.
I am physically active and had spent thousands on physiotherapy but still had neck and back pain. The experienced Stretch Therapy teachers taught me how to exercise correctly and the classes are always fun. I feel so good now and my body shape looks better too!

I am an ultra runner on both trails and roads. Two years ago, I suffered knee and ankle injuries while trail running. I explored various alternative treatments to avoid surgery, such as physiotherapy and TCM.
I learned about Stretch Therapy from a friend who is also a hiker. Figuring it was worth a try, I attended a long class on Rolling, which also touched on recovery from plantar fasciitis—an issue I also have. Wai Kuan, the instructor, is passionate and knowledgeable. I learned effective practices that I can do at home, which have significantly reduced my pain and improved my recovery.

I slipped in the bathroom, twice. After the second slip, my left leg was damaged so badly I could barely walk. There was a sharp pain in my leg whenever I extended it fully. I was prescribed muscle relaxants and painkillers by a doctor who also told me that I might need surgery if my leg didn’t heal within a week.
Took a private class with Wai Kuan and was taught multiple body-weight exercises to strengthen my leg muscles. I repeated those exercises everyday at home for about 1 hour and after less than a week, I was able to walk normally again! No meds, no surgery, amazing results. Thank you very much Stretch Therapy!
