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 Stretching SA, my life changed. Ryno was fully committed with loads of empathy, knowledge and experience to treat both my knees and with my next doctor's appointment results showed. Today I can enjoy my new knee and the days of being in constant pain and no mobility is long gone. Read more...

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. Read more...

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 a nerve pain down my arm since I can remember. This pain I experience comes and goes and are triggered while I am busy sleeping or being active. When I experience this pain it really feels like my whole arm is busy going numb and the sudden sensation of pins and needles affects the way of my daily routines. Read more...

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 in terms of the cause thereof and how long it might take to heal and also other research. Read more...

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.  The stretch therapy showed very positive results and I now have almost full use of my shoulder and arm and no pain.  I would highly recommend stretch therapy.

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! Read more...

I believe stretch therapy should be incorporated into everyone’s lives as I have never felt so supple & flexible as when I started practicing with Louretha. I started stretch therapy with Louretha last year to improve my range of motion, not only on my lower stiff back and shoulders but also to help improve my knee joint ability and pain. I’ve been struggling for years to improve my swing and after listening to my golf Coach to learn to stretch more, I decided to take up the next step. 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. Read more...
