About the Author
Ann Frederick is the director of flexibility training
for the Stretch to Win Clinic, where she has worked with many elite
athletes, including Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb
and numerous Olympians and members of the NFL, MLB, and NHL. Ann was
the first flexibility specialist ever to work at the Olympics,
consulting with the 1996 U.S. wrestling team and both the 2000 and 2004
U.S. track teams.
For more than 35 years, Ann
has studied, performed, and taught movement through multiple dance
disciplines. In 1997, upon completion of her studies, Frederick
defended her master’s thesis and established that her stretching
technique outperformed conventional methods with lasting flexibility
gains of 36 to 52 percent. She continually refined and improved these
techniques, which ultimately developed into the Stretch to Win system
of flexibility training and stretching. Today, professional athletes
and Olympians from all over the world use this system to achieve higher
levels of performance.
Chris Frederick is the director of sports and
orthopedic rehabilitation at the Stretch to Win Clinic. After an injury
sidelined his professional dance career, Chris received his degree in
manual orthopedic physical therapy from Hunter College, City University
of New York. To get a well-rounded background in many disciplines,
Chris trained privately with several master physical therapists,
Rolfers, chiropractors, osteopaths, chi kung and tai chi masters, and
an Olympic strength coach.
Chris is a member of the
American Physical Therapy Association; the International Association of
Structural Integrators; and the International Association of Dance,
Medicine and Science.
The Fredericks are also
renowned international speakers and codirectors of the International
Institute of Flexibility Sciences located in Tempe, Arizona. There,
they train and certify professionals to become flexibility specialists
who may use the Stretch to Win system to enhance their current careers.
The Fredericks are dedicated to advancing the emerging field of
flexibility sciences by promoting and engaging in research on
connective tissue and related topics.
The Fredericks reside in
