Welcome to StretchLab Appleby Village

My name is Ryan and I am a flexologist with a passion for helping people optimize their mobility and performance. My educational background includes an Associate’s Degree in Health Science and Kinesiology, specializing in Athletic Training, as well as over 300 hours of clinical experience working with athletes of all levels. As a former Division 1 collegiate baseball player, I bring a unique perspective on athletic performance, injury prevention, and recovery to every session. Having played at a high level of competition, I understand the demands of intense training and the importance of mobility in preventing injuries and enhancing performance. I approach every stretch session with an educational-first mindset, ensuring you not only experience the benefits of stretching but also understand how it can directly impact your body, performance, and long-term health. Whether you are an athlete looking to stay in peak condition, someone recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve your overall flexibility and mobility, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs. My goal is to help you feel better, move better, and perform better, regardless of your background or activity level. Beyond my professional training, I have a creative side, with photography as a personal hobby. This attention to detail and mindfulness translates into my work as a flexologist as it allows me to see and address the nuances of your body’s movement and mechanics. I am looking forward to getting to know you while helping you achieve your goals and improve your long-term health!

Hi, I’m Uswah! I’m a Health Science major at the University of Toronto with a background in geriatric research. My experience as a research assistant in geriatric facilities has deepened my appreciation for the role of mobility, flexibility, and overall well-being at every stage of life. Outside of work, I love staying active through weightlifting, Pilates, and yoga, and I also enjoy unwinding with a good book. Movement has always been a big part of my life, and I’m passionate about helping others feel their best through the power of stretching. What I love most about StretchLab is the constant learning and the opportunity to support people on their journey to feeling stronger, more mobile, and more at home in their bodies.

I want to help others move easier, feel better, and reach their personal health goals. I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with family and friends.

Hi, I’m Kealee, and I am passionate about helping people feel their best through movement, education, and a personalized approach to wellness. I hold a Bachelor of Kinesiology with minors in Biology and Leadership, providing me with a strong foundation in human movement, exercise science, and overall health and wellness. I have a special passion for supporting women's health and wellness. I believe that everyone deserves to feel strong, confident, and empowered in their body, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable, supported, and heard throughout their wellness journey. I believe that true wellness extends beyond the physical body and is deeply connected to our mental and emotional well-being. By fostering a strong mind-body connection, I help clients become more aware of how they move, recover, and respond to stress, creating a foundation for lasting health and resilience. Whether your goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, enhance athletic performance, recover from injury, or simply move through daily life more comfortably, I am committed to helping you reach your goals through an individualized and holistic approach. Outside of the clinic, I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and endurance athlete. You can often find me training for a triathlon, surfing, snowboarding, traveling, or spending time outside with my dog. My own experiences in sport have given me a deep appreciation for the importance of recovery, resilience, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and I bring that perspective into my work with every client. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your path toward better movement, improved wellness, and a healthier, more active life.

Hi, my name is Jack. I recently graduated from Brock University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and hope to pursue a career in Physiotherapy in the near future. Throughout my education, I gained hands-on experience working with athletes and diverse populations through placements at Brock Sports Medicine and Brock University's Functional Inclusive Training Centre. My experience includes injury assessment, therapeutic exercise programming, mobility enhancement, and supporting clients through rehabilitation and recovery. In addition to my clinical experience, I have volunteered in a variety of health and wellness settings, including movement therapy, sports medicine workshops, and community fitness programs. My passion for helping others move better is rooted in evidence-based practice and a belief that improved mobility can enhance performance, recovery, and overall quality of life. Outside of StretchLab, I enjoy staying active through fitness, hockey, baseball, golf, and pickleball. I also enjoy spending time up north at the cottage with family and friends.
