Knowledge of Excel is required. Who are we? Stretch Zone helps its members live fuller lives through the benefits of practitioner assisted stretching. Stretch Zone practitioners stretch clients while relaxing comfortably on a table - with the practitioner doing the work. Stretching in a relaxed state, unlike when one stretches oneself, provides lasting results felt from the member's first visit. We have wonderful stories of changed lives! Stretch Zone provides clients with Flex-ability for Life® by using proprietary stretching methods, personalized for each client, and a patented stabilization system which permits clients to maintain a relaxed state in order to achieve the full benefits of practitioner assisted stretching. Stretch Zone is a franchise and the Aiken, SC location is one of over 400 locations across the country. Stretch Zone facilities offer a super clean and welcoming environment, trained and certified practitioners, and comfortable equipment. Stretch Zone operates on a membership basis, offering a variety of programs to fit clients' needs, time and financial budgets. Membership credits may be used at any location. Most stretching methodologies try to wait out, overpower, trick, or ignore the stretch reflex. The proven way to increase performance and mobility is to work with the stretch reflex with the revolutionary techniques available through the Stretch Zone® Methodology (SZM). The SZM Practitioner identifies any postural and movement limitations, then tries to correct or mitigate them through specific applied stretching sessions. With a balanced system the customer will reach their true maximum potential, whether they are an professional athlete, weekend warrior, couch potato, or suffering from chronic pain or illness. A career with Stretch Zone ® means not just meeting and maintaining a level of excellence, but continually improving in skill, to further one’s expertise and to advance the industry. As a minimum prerequisite to SZM we recommend a personal training certification in ACE, NASM, ACSM, NSCA or NCSF and/or a license in therapeutic massage or other accredited body work.
