I suffered from severe back pain in my late 30's. I sought out medical advice from Chiropractors, Trainers, Physical Therapists, and even my normal doctor. None of them said there was anything structurally wrong. They all seemingly just treated the symptoms and not the underlying issue. Finally I went to see a back and spine specialist. After a few brief moments he told me to go find a FMS Trainer. A quick search of the area led me to William Thompson.After a few sessions of Will showing me how my body should move and the strength it should have, we started on our journey. I have been working with Will for about two years now. The mix of training and stretching has slowly but surely, improved my flexibility and my core strength. The shooting pain down my leg is gone and my back pain is almost non-existent. I feel better now than I did 10 years ago!

I’m naturally a runner and have never been a person to do yoga or stretch. As I’ve gotten older and been working from home, I have been suffering from tight hips and lower back pain. I truly appreciate William and the AI Stretch team! They have been showing me how important it is to stretch and have overall flexibility to maintain a healthier balance and less pain in my hips. They have sown me how mobility from head to toe is important, how connected my body is and the impact I can have by not being more mobile and stretching all areas.

I’ve tried everything—gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, water aerobics, personal trainers, calorie counting—but nothing worked for my chronic pain, swelling, and mobility issues. Doctors couldn’t figure out my symptoms, and I was diagnosed with everything under the sun while still struggling with edema, inflammation, and fibrosis. I even used a cane at times. After being diagnosed with full-body lymphedema and lipedema, I felt hopeless. Then I discovered AI Stretch, and everything changed. After just one session, I could walk without pain for the first time in years. My knees and thighs felt lighter, and the heaviness from the edema was gone. I danced at a Caribbean festival—standing, moving, no two-stepping in a chair! I finally felt like myself again. William is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. For my plus-size beauties: the table will hold you, and William is expertly trained to help. AI Stretch is now a daily part of my life, and it’s helped with my fibrosis and mobility without special medications. This has truly been life-changing for me, and I can’t thank William and AI Stretch enough!

Will was fantastic! This was a new experience for me. I had a severe injury to my left knee due to a fall, and I was in severe pain. He was very understanding of my limitations and my situation and when I left there, I felt like a million bucks. I was able to stretch and move in ways I certainly didn’t think were possible. It is unlike any other rehab I’ve ever experienced in my life and it was pain-free! The studio was very inviting and the environment was very calming. I would definitely recommend.
