I found Stretch Pediatric Therapy seven years ago when I was looking for a non-competitive, kids-centered yoga class for my young daughter. Adele started with Girl Power Junior and it provided both the SEL and physical support she desperately needed. Alicia and the staff at Stretch have adapted to Adele's changing needs since that first group class. Through the deliberate guidance of the staff, Adele avoids overuse injuries common in competitive dancers her age, and she receives the necessary guidance to navigate middle school expectations and requirements. Adele loves taking on structured volunteer and leadership roles at Stretch as well. Thank you to Alicia and the team for creating a second home for our daughter. We know the future is bright for Adele thanks to Stretch Pediatric Therapy!

Stretch is a magical place. Kids get to be totally themselves, learn new skills and make friends. As parents, we know that when Ellie is at Stretch she will be supported in all the ways she needs, but she'll also be challenged to grow and learn. We are so grateful for Alicia and the entire team at Stretch. They are all amazing!

Patrick's smile and laughter light up Stretch every time he walks through the door. I have been honored to see Patrick grow over these past few years. He is confident and kind. Patrick makes friends wherever he goes. In Physical Therapy, Patrick has become so BRAVE!!! He is jumping off of equipment into the crash mats, jumping on the trampoline, and climbing the hammocks. Patrick loves the swings and loves to build obstacle courses to challenge himself. I am so proud of Patrick’s hard work in PT and love spending time with him! Seeing Patrick brightens my whole day.

Kennedy “Dee Dee” has truly thrived since joining Stretch.

Born 2+ months premature, to say she had a rough start to life is an understatement.

It had been such a challenge finding the right group of individuals with the right skill set to work with Dee Dee, until we came to stretch.

Our biggest regret is not finding Stretch sooner!

We had gone to other clinics prior & none of them come close to the care and compassion she’s received here. Everyone here genuinely wants the best for her and goes above and beyond.

We have seen so much progress in Dee Dee, and are excited to see what the future holds!

Every parent only wants the best for their children, and it truly takes a village of dedicated individuals to make that come to fruition. From the moment we walked through the doors of Stretch, Alicia, and her fabulous team became part of our village. The girls not only love, and care for my children like their own, but the depth; and breadth of knowledge they bring to the table is outstanding. Every member of the team is invested in Zayden's progress both in, and outside of Stretch. Always asking about weekend adventures, sports, celebrations, as well as school updates. Each member of the team is working tirelessly to help kiddos grow into their best selves. They are there to push them to step outside of comfort zones, while always nearby to support when needed.

When Zayden first started his journey at Stretch, I was attending every session, almost always with him sitting close by. As time passed, and his connections with the team grew, he not only became more comfortable; but his confidence blossomed. Fast forward to today, he is running into Stretch waving goodbye, and shouting, "See you later Mom, I have to go see my GIRLS!" He is able to carry over taught skills/strategies into real world situations, as when in sessions, the team focuses on a whole child approach. Zayden continues to grow, and strengthen his skills during every session at Stretch, and we are all so proud of him.

Thank you so much to Alicia, and her A+ Team! A special shout out to: Alyce, Katie, Emily, Ava, and Juliette! We are beyond blessed to have you as part of our village and are excited to continue watching our not so little Stretch Star grow!

Ryan throws his entire self into everything he does at Stretch – including learning how to do new things! Sometimes he needs to try many times before he gets it, but he works very hard and is so proud of himself when he is successful. Lately, Ryan is really enjoying playing with friends at Stretch, and is really getting the hang of including everyone and showing kindness, especially when it’s time to share. I can’t wait to see all the new things he learns and all the new friendships he develops in the new year!

Audrey has blossomed since starting with the Stretch team. She’s far more confident and open to new challenges. Audrey is like a rainbow in human form. Being able to find a place where we can come and celebrate her has been a game changer. We tried a more clinically structured setting, and it couldn’t have been less successful. The whole child approach at Stretch is perfect for her.

As a parent, it’s like a balm to your soul to find people who get it. The team here has been so incredibly accommodating to her individual needs. Their ability to tune in and push her enough for growth while making her feel safe and supported is unmatched. I love the collaborative energy of her sessions. I always feel like my ideas and concerns are heard and addressed.

Stretch is my village. Without them I don’t know where we would be. I am forever grateful for our Stretch family.
