Understanding Core Balance Stretch

The Core Balance Stretch technique is a personal stretching method performed by professional trainers that specifically targets the "deep muscle" core of the body. Developed by Motoki Yamaguchi, a former body maintenance trainer for the Boston Red Sox, this technique has gained popularity in both professional sports teams and among athletes around the world. Many leading professional sports teams, such as FC Tokyo, Yokohama FC, and others, implement this technique among their training regimens.

The goal of Dr.stretch is to promote stretching as an essential health habit in society and to deliver wellness to the community. Notable athletes including Yoshiki Oike from the Japanese women's national hockey team and Yui Susaki, a gold medalist in women’s wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics, have benefitted from their services.
