Armand Van Der Merwe
Flexibility is not only necessary for a better range of motion and movement, but a hidden jewel to any rehabilitation, prevention and cure program. Active Isolated Stretching, Strengthening and Balancing is definitely the way of the future from the injured patient to the sports person.
Dewald van Heerden
Then I discovered Ryno van den Berg at Stretching SA. After 4 sessions I could feel and see a difference in my throwing technique and my hamstrings are a lot more flexible. I can touch my toes now, which was something I could never do before.
Michka Reynders
The first session already resulted in major pain relief and by week four, I had my old self back. It’s great to know that should I ever experience something similar, StretchingSA will be there to assist. I can strongly recommend Ryno and StretchingSA.
Karen Joubert
After 3 months of treatment, I can testify that my lower back pain has been treated successfully – I only have some pain when I’ve had a tough day standing for long hours but other than that I know I have found the correct treatment. I am truly grateful for Ryno and StretchingSA.
Carina Nel
From my own experience, I can, with great confidence, recommend Ryno as a very professional and helpful therapist, as well as the stretching technique, that focuses on stretching the surrounding muscles and ligaments in order to improve mobility and decrease pain.
Carina Elliott
After 5 sessions I no longer had the numbing pressure of lower back pain, after 10 sessions my lower back pain had almost completely disappeared, and after 15 sessions where we are now, I am able to do an acrobatic trick involving my back.
Jeanette van Tonder
I would strongly recommend Stretch Therapy to anybody struggling with not only stiffness but inadequate mobility of the joints and pain. The Stretch Therapy didn’t only help me regain my suppleness, but also strength and confidence to move and get my arm back into top form. Thank you, Ryno!
Trevor Gaw
When we called for appointments he didn’t hesitate to come over to our house and started treatments right away. I was blown away by his professionalism and friendly approach to his patients and truly can recommend him as a practitioner that will spend a lot of time and effort on each and every patient he will ever see.
Pieter van Emmenis
I picked up an Injury when I was 21 years old, on the Rugby field, in my left leg. For 15 years I struggled with spasms and pain in all areas of my left leg from the upper thigh to the calves. Thousands of hours with different medical methods and options were perused with no improvement at all.
Nico Noeth
I believe stretch therapy should be incorporated into everyone’s lives as I have never felt so supple and flexible as to when I started practicing with Louretha. Stretch therapy has helped to increase my suppleness, it has definitely improved my extension with all joints; so I can concentrate more on my golfing and better improve my swing.
Karen Ferreira
Beste Louretha, hiermee net ‘n klein gebaar om dankie te se vir jou ondersteuning, hulp en aanmoediging deurentyd met my behandeling! Ek het begin by jou met ongelooflike erge pyn, maar ek voel deesdae soos ‘n nuwe mens!
Carla Human
Louretha Jacobs did an evaluation and said she could help me with stretch therapy. Louretha was always very professional and friendly and she continuously encouraged me. Although progress was slow and the sessions were sometimes painful I could see progress after about four weeks. I would highly recommend stretch therapy.
Bianca & Annika Strydom
We, Annika and Bianca Strydom are Biathle athletes (swimming and running). We came first and second for consecutive years. We have attended physiotherapy and stretching sessions with Louretha for injuries for a few years. She is very knowledgeable about her profession and very helpful with information around the injuries...
André Verster
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how StretchingSA (AIS) has been beneficial to me and how much it has helped my life and injuries. I used to be a rugby player and went on with normal conditioning on the field and at a gym. I have been struggling with nerve pain down my arm since I can remember.
Adel Loubser
Ek kan nie genoeg beskryf hoe strek terapie Aidan so vinnig laat herstel het nie. Louretha Jacobs was uiters professioneel en deeglik, sy het ook vir Aidan rehab huiswerk gegee om sy maagspiere te versterk wat self ‘n groot verskil gemaak het aan die herstel van sy rugspiere.
Mr W van Aswegen
This is when I discovered StretchingSA and I contacted Ryno van den Berg. I have been going to StretchingSA now for 2 treatments per week for about 3 months and WOW! Last month was the first time in the last 14 years that I were without any pain for 3 consecutive days and then I had a whole week without any pain!
Marthin Linde
I have yet to reach the optimum level of a pain-free life but we are well on our way in achieving this, however, I cannot translate in words, the relief of pain and spasms I have experienced since starting treatment with Ryno at StretchingSA. I can only thank Ryno for the effort and work he has done and continues to do for me.
Armin Cilliers
I cannot thank Ryno enough for the past few weeks and the sessions I had with him. After each session, I was amazed by his knowledge about the body and the effects his treatment had on my body. The pain was gone after three sessions with him and the pins and needles have faded.

Robert Whitehead
StretchingSA helped me through an intensive Stretch Therapy rehabilitation program. My Joint range of motion, stability, flexibility, strength, and balance improved drastically. I’m so fortunate to have the cause of my problem been taken care of with no pain anymore.
Ria Neethling
As a Stretch Therapist, Ryno is treating my injured knee. My joint range of motion, flexibility, strength, and balance improved drastically. I sleep without pain. Getting in and out of a car is not an effort anymore. It is possible to use stairs in a normal way without pain. I started doing needlework again. I am so fortunate to be treated by Ryno.
Pieter Van Zyl
Game Farmer
I want to stretch how impressive this unique form of rehabilitation is for me, seeing that I have tried so many different forms of treatment and nothing ever had the wonderful results that I am experiencing right now. Any athlete with frequent spasms or injury that gives them trouble should go to no other place. Book your sessions now!
Louise van Staden
When I walked out of my first session with Hans it literally felt like I had been given a new pair of legs and a new back, my first session felt like a miracle cure. I see Hans on a weekly basis and it’s the only thing that keeps me going. StretchingSA has improved my quality of life; I am completely pain-free and have been pain-free for 3 full months.
Liezel Vermaas
I’ve been struggling with my shoulder (rotator cuff) since October 2014. I’ve experienced a lot of pain and discomfort especially when I sleep at night. I went for two sessions with Ryno van den Berg the Stretch Therapist. The pain and discomfort stopped completely. My rotator cuff is completely healed.
Kitty Potgieter
After having a full knee replacement at the age of 63 I was left with one new very sore and extremely stiff knee and one old, painful and stiff knee. The doctors were not happy with my recovery but soon after I was referred to Ryno and StretchingSA, my life changed. Today I can enjoy my new knee and the days of being in constant pain...
Johan Els
Premier League Cricket Player
I went to StretchingSA and since I have been there my si-joint has recovered and improved and I can bowl again without any discomfort. I can definitely recommend Stretching SA for anyone moving with discomfort and struggling with their mobility. I got more out of Stretching SA than I hoped for. A big thanks to Ryno and Stretching SA!
Jaco Maartens
Estate Agent
Stretching SA helped me recover from an injury I had for decades and the methods and maneuvers been used was focused on my problem area and not a generic one solution for all approach. Thank you, Ryno, for helping me back on my knees again. I will recommend this approach to improve, recover or support all levels of athletes...
Ina Els
Hip replacement
One morning two months ago I woke up with severe pain again, decided to make an appointment with Ryno the stretch therapist, and the decision was made to go for stretch therapy. After 12 rehabilitation sessions, I was pain-free…I could walk for longer distances, sit for longer periods of time at the office...
Francois Hougaard

I prefer working with my man Hans at StretchingSA, making sure I'm stronger and faster than ever… especially good in getting some work done with stretch therapy before my big games. Thank you guys for always helping me being the best I can be.

Dr Breytie Breytenbach

During my first session with StretchingSA, I was wondering out loud whether stretch therapy could help me with my poor blood circulation in my feet. He responded “Yes!”, as if it was the most logical thing to do. And here I am, already feeling sensation back in my feet, experiencing a glorious tingling in my toes!
