Welcome to The Stretch Advantage! My name is Kelly Rabe and I can’t wait to start this flexibility journey with you! My own journey started in 2019. At that time, I was coaching at a small fitness studio—and loving it. One day, just out of curiosity, I decided to see what other part-time jobs my NASM personal trainer certificate could get me. That search led me to the wonderful world of assisted stretching! I spent more than four years at StretchLab, working with every kind of person and almost every kind of condition, from paralysis to Parkinson’s. The most important thing I learned during those years is that assisted stretching is for everyone!

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, and with it, the rise of the work-from-home employee. Suddenly, people were sitting more and moving less, and the need for a consistent stretching regimen became more important than ever. But, membership at a boutique stretching studio is not a feasible option for everyone, so I thought about how I could make the benefits of assisted stretching more accessible, and voila! The Stretch Advantage was born!
