Built on the “Chowa” principle of harmony, our personalized stretch and strength sessions melt away tension, fortify your body, and lock in balance—so you move stronger at work, at play, and in competition.
Most of us walk around with hidden muscle imbalances, poor posture, and tight connective tissue from hours at desks, tough workouts, or old injuries. Over time, those imbalances create compensation in your basic movements—causing pain, draining your energy, and limiting your performance.
That’s where stretch therapy comes in.
The Chowa Method uses targeted techniques to release tension, restore alignment, and retrain your body to move the way it was designed to. This isn’t ordinary stretching. They're rooted in biomechanics and real-world athletic experience. The routines are adaptable so anyone can do them anywhere along their journey to increased mobility, strength, and balance.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, chasing a personal best, or just trying to sit without aching—stretch therapy helps you reset your body, relieve pain, and unlock your potential.
Stretch. Strength. Balance.
Expert-led customized care.
Stretch therapy, expert guidance, and wellness tracking in your back pocket
I had struggled for years with tight hips and lower-back tension, but weekly assisted stretching sessions with Tom at The Chowa changed everything. From the first session, he assessed my movement, explained the root causes, and gave me simple daily stretches. Within weeks, I felt looser, slept better, stood taller, and walked with ease. Tom’s expertise and personalized approach have been a total game-changer for me, and I highly recommend him.
As a now 47 year old, I’ve been working with Thomas for a couple years. I found him to be very knowledgeable with his craft, more than the average stretcher or trainer. He’s ready to do and share research that has helped me in my athletic journey while helping correct damaging imbalances. He’s caring, considerate and professional. I would recommend his services to anyone really looking to improve their physical health!
Working with Thomas at The Chowa has transformed my family’s health and mobility. My posture has improved, easing long-term back and shoulder tension. My mother, recovering from multiple shoulder injuries, has regained mobility and confidence, while my gymnast and cheerleader daughter now has better hip flexibility, boosting her performance and reducing injury risk. Thomas’s expertise, care, and personalized approach have delivered lasting results we’re truly grateful for.
