For over three decades, we have been committed to providing premier personalized comfort and wellness solutions and the acquisition of Stretch*d aligns seamlessly with our brand ethos, perfectly complementing our ecosystem of wellness brands and products."  

Stretch*d was co-founded by Vanessa Chu, a lifelong athlete, tenured wellness industry veteran and graduate of Columbia Business School and Wellesley College. With previous experience in investment banking and asset management, Chu is no stranger to long hours at a desk and understands the value of a good stretch. Alongside Jeff Brannigan, who has applied stretch therapy to Olympic athletes across all sports, the duo and their team use The Stretch*d Method to provide an effective and dynamic customized experience to help increase flexibility and range of motion. The company's expert "Stretch*rs" offer guests a convenient and transformative way to improve their well-being so they can perform better, recover faster, reduce risk of injury, and improve longevity. Vanessa Chu will join Good Feet Holdings as President of Stretch*d, and Jeff Brannigan will join as Director of Training of Stretch*d.
