"helped me more in 2 weeks than most have accomplished in months..."

I have been to a few stretch/massage therapist, including some physical therapists and chiropractors. There has been nobody close to having the anatomical and physiological knowledge, along with the technical skills, as Ron Collins with the Stretch Clinic! He helped me more in 2 weeks than most have accomplished in months. I recommend him both as a physician and a client to all my friends and patients.

"excited to refer my friends, family and patients his way..."

As a healthcare professional/provider myself I must say I was immensely impressed from the minute I met Ron and even more so after he spent the next hour educating me and teaching me functional stretching techniques that I can apply both in my personal fitness/health routine as well as in my practice in teaching my patients how to improve their own well-being. His vast anatomy and kinesiology background along with his genuine personality made for an excellent experience and left me excited to refer my friends, family and patients his way!

""educates you through the entire process..."

Working in corporate America and in IT to say I had shoulder and lower back issues was an understatement. I literally could not go though the day without my shoulder burning or low back flaring up! Years of hauling my purse and computer bag, backpack, sitting at my desk for hours, etc coupled with poor posture and aging, really did a number on me and my quality of life. I started working with Ron who helped me understand what was and/or happened, why it was happening and how to correct it. Ron educates you through the entire process and gives you simple exercises, stretches and mobility work that you can do anywhere. He really is amazing and helped me when no one else could. 
Starla L. - Sarasota, FL

"employs a thoughtful, methodical approach to every session in the clinic.."

Ron is truly the best! He has an impressive understanding of the human body, a wealth of experience + certifications, and an undeniable passion for his job. He takes the time to give anatomical and physiological context to your specific injuries/limitations and employs a thoughtful, methodical approach to every session in the clinic as well as recommendations for new practices at home. I found Ron just over a month ago, and so glad I did! He helped me rehab a stubborn injury that benched me for a few months and jeopardized my upcoming training for the Chicago Marathon. For an endurance athlete, having Ron onboard is a total game changer - I'm so grateful to have him in my corner for the road to Chicago and any future endurance endeavors!

"dramatically reduced the daily discomfort and pain I was in."

I travel a lot with work and spend about 10-15 hours per week in my car. I was experiencing significant lower back and knee pain daily which made it difficult to even get out of bed without being stiff and rigid. I was introduced to Ron through my trainer and after assessing my posture and movement he developed a stretching and mobility plan that dramatically reduced the daily discomfort and pain I was in. If you are in the same boat that I was in with low back and knee pain, I would strongly recommend that you reach out to Ron!
Todd M. - Raleigh, NC

"insight beyond the physical therapy world is evident..."

Ron’s knowledge of the body, how things connect and work, experience, and ability to teach how to apply insight beyond the physical therapy world is evident upon first conversation. My husband, Josh, and I each had a few sessions with Ron and felt instantly better after. We are committed OrangeTheory Fitness members who were simply looking to make the most of our recovery time. We could stand up taller, had more flexibility, and overall awareness of posture during our workouts due to the techniques Ron applied and taught us. His use of a percussion massage tool, coupled with his unique style of stretching, made a significant difference in how our bodies felt from week to week. We highly recommend working with Ron as he is talented at what he does for a living and is a great person!

"will be the 1st person I go to with any injuries..."

Within 2 months of consistency with training and therapy; I was able to eliminate the pain, strengthen my shoulder muscles (specifically under my scapula), and train my brain to focus on correcting my posture. I enjoy Ron's technique and focus of training. I trust him, and amazed on how knowledgeable he is. He truly cares for your health and will be the first person I go to with any injuries

"shoulders muscles back into balance helping me move pain free..."

Being a man in my 50’s, I came to Ron with the goal to regain freedom of movement without pain. With years of abuse playing rugby and working in the construction industry, I had reduced my range of motion in my shoulders and had pain and stiffness that limited my overhead movements. What should be normal activities were now challenging and my gym workouts were suffering. I wanted to have longevity and get back to my former self. Ron worked with me to strengthen and bring my shoulders muscles back into balance helping me move pain free. He guided me not only physically but mentally towards the goals we set together. Ron has provided me with the tools and mindset to feel and perform my best.

"set me up for success, not only in recovery, but..."

"methodology for realizing and strengthening my body was very impressive..."

When I engaged Ron, I had a problem with my shoulder where I pulled muscles easily and often when I did shoulder or back exercises. The process he went through of identifying, isolating, stretching and strengthening my whole shoulder area was really great. When he first showed me the video of my “before” state. I was really surprised. His methodology for realizing and strengthening my body was very impressive. He was always careful, conscientious, and thorough. And with a great sense of humor, too! I strongly recommend Ron.

"I can't recommend highly enough..."

I am an avid “Crossfitter” and have been training for years. With myself having above average experience in the field, I can tell you that Ron is a true professional and rare find in the health and fitness industry. He is an expert on human movement and technique to minimize injuries and ensure proper recovery. He strongly emphasized and educated me on my post-exercise recovery, stretching, and daily mobility work which is a critical element for building and maintaining a healthy body. If you need help to correct form, prevent injuries, or rehabilitate post injury, then Ron is the person for you. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Ron has helped me build a better understanding of the human body, and also helped me build my personal training business. Ron’s coaching is conducive for corrective exercises and total body awareness. He’s an excellent motivator, and has helped me not only improve my mobility, but confidence in strength training as well. Also, his KB workouts are insanely tough!

"helped to understand positioning, and the true value of mobility..."

I felt empowered to write this as a thank you. I started truly diving into Weightlifting 4.5 years ago. At this time I had no coach, but had enough knowledge to progress, and at the time thought I was doing well. Ron was kind of enough to look at a number of things I could never have noticed and started to work with me on a daily basis. He really helped to understand positioning, and the true value of mobility and personal awareness and strength. He was my first true lifting coach and without him I wouldn't be the athlete I am today.

"impressed with both the results he was getting from clients as well as his professionalism..."

There are a few key attributes that separate a good trainer from a great one. I met Ron back in 2018 and was quickly impressed with both the results he was getting from clients as well as his professionalism. He is truly dedicated to his craft and combines his knowledge of corrective exercise with years of hands on experience working in the trenches. I worked with Ron to improve some corrective/mobility issues personally with my scapula, ankles, and hips. During that block of training I worked up to a 475lb back squat, 405 front squat, and 385 pause bench press shown here. Not PR numbers but they all moved very smoothly and with much better positioning. Also most importantly pain free at 36 years old at that time.
