About The Chowa
Our Specialty "Stretch Therapy"
Stretch Therapy is a form of wellness practice focused on enhancing flexibility, mobility, and overall physical well being through therapist assisted stretches. Therapists use specialized table with belts to perform various stretches on clients. This setup allows the therapist to isolate and target specific muscle areas precisely which is crucial for identifying and correcting imbalances in order to enhance mobility. Clients then can then relax and focus deeply on the stretches while the therapist manually adjusts their body and provides guidance.

The Founders Story to create Balance
Thomas Domerese is a distinguished veteran of the US Air Force, where he not only served his country with honor but also demonstrated his exceptional athletic prowess by wrestling as part of the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) to qualify for the Olympic Team Trials. With over eight years of experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), along with nearly 20 years wrestling, Thomas has faced the rigorous demands and challenges of high-level competitive sports.
Years of dedication as an athlete took a toll on Thomas's body, leading to numerous injuries. However, these experiences only fueled his determination to understand the mechanics of the human body and the importance of recovery. Inspired to deepen his knowledge, Thomas pursued an education in fitness and well-being. He holds a BS in Exercise Science along with certifications in Personal Training, Manual therapy, Cupping, Myofascial Scraping, Nutrition, Health & Wellness Coaching and Massage Therapy. These qualifications enhance his understanding of effective recovery techniques and body mechanics.
Thomas's passion for fitness and health led him to explore the benefits of stretch therapy. He recognized that stretch therapy is not only crucial for injury prevention and recovery but also for helping others maintain a better quality of life through body imbalance correction. By improving flexibility, reducing muscle tension, and promoting better posture, stretch therapy plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
For Thomas, stretch therapy is more than just a technique; it is a means to help others achieve their wellness and fitness goals and improve their quality of life. His deep understanding of the physical demands of sports and his personal experiences with injuries have given him a unique perspective on the importance of proper body mechanics. Thomas is committed to sharing this knowledge and empowering others to take charge of their health through effective stretch therapy.
The term "Chowa" is a Japanese concept that means "the search for balance," reflecting Thomas’s core mission. To Thomas, Chowa represents the perfect equilibrium between strength and flexibility, effort and recovery and mind and body. Thomas continues to inspire and guide others, promoting a holistic approach to health and wellness. Driven by these concepts and his desire to make a positive impact, Thomas founded Chowa. This venture embodies his dedication to helping individuals achieve balance and harmony in their physical well-being journey, empowering them to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
