About Us

We are a team of Certified Stretch Mobility Coaches that strive to help our clients discover the healing power of The Stretch Method®.

The Stretch Method® Mission​

The Stretch Method® is driven to successfully train PT’s, PTA’s, OT’s, OTA’s and ATC’s in a wellcare model that puts the healing powers back into the hands of therapists. At The Stretch Method®, we know that therapists want to help clients get better, stay better and play better throughout their lives. The Stretch Method® provides this opportunity to these rehab professionals to work as Stretch Mobility Coaches™ in an affiliate location or become their own B.O.S.S. and Start, Build and Grow their own Stretch Mobility Coach™ clinic.

Founded With Care in 2020

With more than 20 years of experience working in the field of Physical Therapy, Kim Nartker, owner and founder of Stretch Physical Therapy and Total Wellness in West Chester, Ohio, recognized clients who were caught up in a cycle of re-injury and reoccurring pain.

This cycle created a lot of frustration, both for the patients and for her, as their caregiver. This frustration led Kim to create The Stretch Method®, a comprehensive program that would identify and fix the root cause of her patients’ pain and tightness, as well as improve flexibility and provide regeneration to heal the damage for full recovery.

In 2020, Kim took her in-house employee training program to a wider audience, developing Stretch Mobility Coach™ training. The popularity of this innovative offering grew so quickly that she was prompted to develop an online training program for professionals to expand their skills and work as Stretch Mobility Coaches™.

 

Kim enjoys helping clients and empowering Coaches to see their clients go from experiencing pain or lack of mobility to moving well, living pain-free, and performing at their peak in their favorite sport, fitness, and hobby.

Success Stories

“Before coming here I was dancing 5 days a week for a total of 25 hours. I was constantly having back pain but just thought it was from overuse. After working with a stretch and mobility coach, I was able to identify my areas of pain and work towards reducing it. After a few weeks I was able to dance 5 days a week with little to no pain. Coming here has helped me a lot with my mobility and I’m able to dance better than ever.”

Jillian Kreimer, Coach Client

“I knew I wanted Kim’s Stretch Program in my new Wellness Center so I hired a PTA that had been laid off due to COVID 19. I turned it over to her. She loves it so much, she is eager to drive the program…Find the right person and this will be a big part of what you have been wanting to give your clients at discharge! Good luck!”
