The Vital Stretch

The Vital Stretch was born at a crossroads of physical therapy and chiropractic work. Co-Founders, Rob and Melissa Goldring, who have over 50 years of combined experience as hands-on-clinicians, noticed their patient population was receiving problem-focused care but was not seeing full-body wellness results. With their extensive knowledge of pain, injury, and movement patterns, they came up with The Vital Stretch Method. This method quickly had traction amongst their patient population and the local community, leading them to create their entrepreneurial entity and service in 2019. One-on-one Assisted Stretching is a new addition to the health & wellness space. The Vital Stretch provides its guests with an advanced assisted stretching method that produces safe, effective, and deeply relaxing stretch experiences. The Vital Stretch Practicioners (VSPs) are trained and certified through The Vital Stretch Method to deliver exceptional experiences. Trained by the corporate leadership team, VSPs and staff are attentive and attuned to safety. The Vital Stretch takes pride in its elevated experience with measured results. The experience starts with a thorough intake and digital posture and motion assessment. Through the assessment, VSPs tailor the experience and treatment on a case-by-case scenario to helps guests reach their flexibility goals, feeling looser, lighter, and fully alive. Guests continue to use Vital Signs 3D posture and motion assessment screens throughout their time with The Vital Stretch the measure functional movement and track proven results.
