This is my journey with SA Stretching...My problem with my knees started about 18 months ago. At the time I was quite healthy, walking about 3 km every day and did mild exercises at the gym.My knees started to hurt, it felt like the pain started overnight, the pain was in the muscles, not the joints or bones. I had difficulty walking and getting up straight . I visited my GP, and I started with cortisone, anti-inflammatory and pain medication. The pain got worse, and I got more and stronger medicine. I also started with physiotherapy, it helped a little, but after 2 weeks, the pain was still very intense. I was in constant pain all the time, and could no longer walk without crutches. I went to see an internist and was admitted to the hospital for pain medication and more cortisone. A lot of blood tests and X-rays were taken, no specific diseases were diagnosed. One doctor thought the pain was reflected from my hips, another doctor thought it originated from my lower back. I thought I had to live with the pain for life.I stopped with all pain medication, decided to try a more holistic approach. I started with sport therapy and reflexology, that helped me a lot up to a point. Then I found SA Stretching, this treatment started to work after only a few sessions. I started to experience permanent mobility in my knees again. After only 3 months of two sessions a week, I could walk normally again and pain was much less. After a year of treatment, my knees are pain free and we are working on my hip flexibility. I am now receiving one treatment per week, it was really worth it to continue with this treatment. SA Stretching is really helping me to become supple again. Ryno from SA Stretching really changed my life, thank you, Ryno.

Thank you so much StretchingSA you have changed my life! After suffering from a rock climbing injury 2 years ago. I fell 8 meters and fractured my back it has been a difficult journey with no other form of physio/rehab training has helped my recovery, Weekly stretches with Ryno has been able to give me mobility and huge pain relief. My testimony is proof that his brilliant work has results for any type of injury no matter the severity, he is very understanding and wholesome person and will take the extra mile to finding a solution for your injuries. It is very hard to find someone who genuinely cares about your health instead of just taking your money and pretending. StretchingSA is an absolute must for any sports, mobility or even old unattended injuries. If you are committed to dedicating time for recovery, you will heal! I know I speak from someone who thought they would have to live with pain for the rest of their life. It does change it just needs hard work.

Something anyone that's office-bound needs to consider. Maintaining body mobility prevents loads of complications! Carla is excellent!

Thanks to Ryno and Stretching SA who has helped me with lower back pain and a stiff neck and shoulders. For 20years I have been nursing" my lower back pain in such a way just to be able to still run and excersize. However

Carla at Stretching SA helped me so much with stress release with their stretching protocol. I'm sleeping much better since my session!

For the last 2 years I have tried various means to regain mobility of my right shoulder. I happened upon meeting with Ryno and he said, unless it needed an operation, he knew how to get it sorted.After my first session, I realised that my shoulder was way worse than I had assumed. However, I kept to our appointments, as Ryno asked me to sit through at least 10 sessions.After the 6th session there was a definite breakthrough, and now, after my treatment for my shoulder I have decided to get some flexibility back in my legs and hips.I am literally crying while I write this review, because of Ryno's patience and knowledge, I now have full mobility of my right shoulder and I am again capable of living my normal active lifestyle.Thank you Ryno and God bless you and the amazing work that you do.

Ryno has really helped me immensely after a back injury. I had no idea stretching was so important and helpful. I would recommend them highly to everyone who needs help.

I would hereby like to express my sincere gratitude to Ryno van den Berg of Stretching SA, Pretoria East for his treatment of pain and ill comfort from the trapezium bone in my left hand.The discomfort started about a year ago with increasing pain in my left thumb and wrist. I started having trouble using a knife when eating and buttoning my shirt. Eventually I had x-rays taken and the diagnosis was trapezium bone. The only remedy according to the Doctor was surgery to remove the bone with loss of mobility and function of the thumb.Ryno was treating me for knee pain and suppleness and he offered to treat my hand as well. After only a few sessions, I noticed an improvement that continued weekly. About 4 months down the line I sometimes have to stop and think which hand was painful as I no longer experience any discomfort.From personal experience, I can strongly recommend the stretching method as administered by Ryno.
