Ann Frederick is a former professional dancer, having grown up in her Mom’s dance studio, she started to dance at the age of 4 and first became a dance instructor at 14. She has practiced manual therapy and movement re-education for over 20 years, specifically in the field of flexibility training, assisted individual stretching, group stretch and dance instruction. Ann graduated from ASU in 1997, where she conducted scientific research that demonstrated more successful outcomes with her technique compared to traditional static stretching. Ann originally created a unique system of neuromyofascial manual therapy called Stretch to Win - Fascial Stretch Therapy® (STW-FST®) for the USA Men’s Olympic Wrestling Team of 1996. Besides improving professional athletic performance, she soon discovered that STW-FST also rapidly helped other clients with a variety of chronic, unresponsive pain conditions, strength imbalances and other common neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
