It was a sad week at the Stretch to Win Center in Tempe, AZ as some of the last of our NFL clients left Phoenix pre-season training to go home and spend a little more time with family before they all go to camp.

Brian Dawkins of the Denver Broncos has been our client for 8 years and Donovan McNabb now with the Washington Redskins and a client since he was a rookie, both gave us hugs and goodbyes until we see them again.

McNabb brought in his new team of wide receivers to train in the infamous Arizona summer heat and to recover at the Stretch to Win Center, where they received services like Fascial Stretch Therapy, a unique pain-free connective tissue assisted stretch technique, after getting deep fascial massage by Jezy, our massage therapist extra-ordinaire.

AZ Cardinal players Tim Hightower and Darnell Dockett were the first among many Cards to come in to prep their bodies with us for camp this coming weekend. It’s hard to believe that it was only 19 months ago that we were in Tampa Bay giving Fascial Stretch Therapy and deep massage to players like Larry Fitzgerald and the rest of the starters for the Cards at Super Bowl XLIII!

Now we’re getting ready to take care of our home team Cardinals at their camp in Flagstaff. As their bodies (and minds) adapt to the stresses of high altitude and playing football again, key players of the Cards need us to help them regain the flexibility lost through training but also to get their structures re-aligned and balanced. Stay tuned to get the whole story when we go to camp with the Cards next week!

While we do treat some of the most elite athletes in the world, we are also passionate about helping anyone who wants to achieve goals of full mobility and strength. Come see us at www.StretchToWin.com or if you are not in Arizona, check out our trained students at http://www.stretchtowin.com/therapist-locator.

Leonard Davis of Dallas Cowboys loves Fascial Stretch Therapy from Stretch to Win on Vimeo.

The Stretch To Win Center in Tempe, AZ uses its proprietary Fascial Stretch Therapy™ to keep Offensive Lineman Leonard Davis of the Dallas Cowboys at the top of his game.  Ann and Chris Frederick, co-Founders of The Stretch To Win Center and staff member Crystal, all work as a team to take great care of Leonard Davis.

Leonard went to the Pro Bowl the last 2 out of the 4 years he has been a client at Stretch to Win and gives much of the credit to Ann’s unique blend of assisted stretching called Fascial Stretch Therapy or FST and Chris’ fascial bodywork called Structural Integration.

Ann and I both agree that Leonard is one of the more challenging clients to work on, structurally speaking. He’s 6′-6″, plays at a lean 360 lbs (when you look at him from the side, there is NO belly!), practically has to walk sideways when going through doorways due to his enormous chest and shoulder girth, and sounds like he’s from the bottom of the sea when he speaks.

In the video above, Leonard speaks about how FST helps him be a better football player in a candid interview by Chris Frederick, PT. Enjoy!
