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. The stretching therapy really works and I have not had one injury since. Ryno can stretch every muscle and mobilize nerves in the body. Read more...Dewald van Heerden Springbok Discus Athlete
After such a long time of being physically inactive, it was time to try to repair the damage through another alternative practice, namely stretch therapy. At first I did not believe that they would be able to help me, but I was desperate and I went to Ryno van den Berg at Stretching SA. During my first session with him, 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. Read more...Dr Breytie Breytenbach Educational Consultant

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...Kitty Potgieter

Although my treatment is ongoing, there is a bright light at the end of the pain tunnel! I’m just so grateful that I discovered Stretching SA. Read more...Mr W van Aswegen
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.

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...André Verster
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.

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. Read more...Carla Human
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...Karen Ferreira
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.
