Driving Our Economy Forward: The Stretch Zone
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) –Regaining mobility after an injury can be difficult. Many patients face surgery or chiropractic care.
Tonight we are learning why you might want to consider a different option. As we travel to Stretch Zone on the Northshore in Driving Our Economy Forward.
“Hi my name is Paul Powell and I want to welcome you to… Stretch Zone”
“Uh we currently have three. Uh, one in Chattanooga, Mountain Brook Alabama, and Tuscalo, Alabama. It’s amazing. As our body ages, we naturally begin to get tight, it’s just part of the process. And what that tightness does is it tends to pull on those joints right. Well that tends to create chronic pain and discomfort for a lot of us; hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck, you know we sit a lot and that begins to shorten up the front of our bodies. And so you when you begin to stretch the body, when you begin to elongate those muscles, you give the body some margin. You take some of that pressure off. And the body can begin to almost heal itself and feel better. And that’s exactly what happens, I think you know for me Stretch Zone helps our clients overcome chronic pain and discomfort so they can live the life they want to live because everybody deserves to live life on their terms.” says Paul Powell, owner of Stretch Zone.
“This is my second visit and my joints have been really tight, so it’s really loosening my joints up really really good.” Selena Perry, a Chattanooga resident.
“Take a big deep breath. In they’re not cracking they’re not popping they’re just stretching.T
“We are not popping bones. We are not chiropractors, we are stretch practitioners. We’re loosening up those muscles. Make sure they get the range of motion, to do whatever you want to do on a daily basis.” said Chris Thompson, a practitioner at Stretch Zone.
“I’m doing this one now so we can do the chest opener at the end. I don’t think we’ve done that one before. So we haven’t had any upperbody have we? We did some um shoulder.”
“We we have typically five or six stretch practitioners, at each location we have an incredible management team. And they really help triage. They come in and evaluate people to see exactly you know what are their issues and can we help them,” says Powell.
“Everyone’s coming in telling us how their experience is, how it’s making them move better, feel better just even able to just do everyday daily tasks easier right; putting your shoes on going, to bed, sleeping easier you know. And so that’s what we want to hear. And people getting back to doing movements that they’ve, you know haven’t done in 10 15 years you know. Playing tennis, going play Pickleball, going swimming, right. So just helping people’s lives be easier than it was before they walk through our doors. That’s, that’s what we’re hearing from folks.
