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.
