Stretch Zone, the stretch leader and pioneer of the Stretch Zone Method®, announces the opening of Stretch Zone San Antonio. Owned and operated by franchise owners Kathryn Comfort and Mike Akeroyd, the San Antonio studio is the company’s ninth location in the Lonestar state. The studio is also the latest proof point of Stretch Zone’s rapid growth as the category pioneer aims to bring the lasting benefits of stretch to the Stone Oak community.

Since its founding in 2004, Stretch Zone has become the largest practitioner-assisted stretching franchise across the country. In addition, Stretch Zone is the only nationally-accredited stretch franchise due in large part to its patented equipment and proprietary training and education methodology. Stretch Zone focuses on a scientific approach to stretch and believes in re-educating muscles to establish a more ideal resting muscle tone and range of motion.

“This area, and San Antonio in particular, is an excellent fit for Stretch Zone,” says Kathryn Comfort, owner of Stretch Zone San Antonio. “Whether it is for increased flexibility, improved athletic performance, injury prevention or to simply enjoy a more active lifestyle, Stretch Zone brings San Antonionians the only nationally accredited practitioner-assisted stretch. Everyone, from athletes recouping from an injury to seniors suffering from decreased mobility, can benefit from greater flexibility.”

“As a client, I’ve experienced the difference practitioner-assisted stretch can make in my posture, range of motion, everyday wellness, and the benefits are long lasting,” Comfort adds. “We’re thrilled to bring the benefits of Stretch Zone’s pioneering stretch methodology to the San Antonio community.”
