Welcome to StretchLab Toronto West

Hi all, I am Rutuja, an internationally trained physiotherapy undergraduate from India. I've further enriched my skills with a certification in Clinical Kinesiology from Sheridan College and progressing toward becoming a certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I have worked with a wide variety of populations including chronic disease, para-athletes, and special needs clients, focusing on utilizing exercise therapy interventions to enhance strength and motor skills. The common thread uniting all these individuals is a holistic approach to wellness. Stretching being one of the crucial elements for the same. I assert strongly that muscles dictate the bones and bones support the body. Here at Stretch Lab, I aim to create a goal-oriented environment to help you find the root cause of biomechanical stresses on the body and improve your overall well-being.

As a former natural bodybuilder, I have expertise in building lean muscle, weight loss, and nutrition. I understand the importance of incorporating a proper recovery routine, which is like maintaining a car to avoid frequent visits to the mechanic. Helping people is what fuels my day and led me to pursue massage therapy studies in 2020, enhancing my knowledge of anatomy and posture-related pain caused by anatomical imbalances.
