The Vital Stretch — Mequon
Move Freely. Live Fully.
Now Hiring: Vital Stretch Practitioner (VSP)
ABOUT THE VITAL STRETCH — MEQUON
The Vital Stretch is opening its first southeastern Wisconsin location at River Centre in Mequon. We help people move better, recover faster, and live with less pain through one-on-one assisted stretching delivered by trained practitioners using a proprietary method designed by a Physical Therapist and a Chiropractic Physician. This isn't a gym, and our practitioners aren't trainers in the traditional sense. We're closer to a wellness clinic than a fitness studio — our work is consultative, education-based, and built around a personalized care plan for each member. We work with active adults, weekend athletes, desk workers with chronic tightness, and people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to keep doing the things they love. Our job is to help them get there. This is an owner-led, small-team studio. That means you'll work closely with the owner and a tight-knit group of practitioners in a hands-on environment — with real growth opportunity as the business scales.
THE ROLE: VITAL STRETCH PRACTITIONER
As a VSP, you'll deliver one-on-one stretch sessions to clients across a wide range of ages, goals, and mobility levels. You'll conduct assessments to understand each client's needs, design custom care plans, build lasting relationships, and guide members through their journey to better movement. Our approach is consultative and education-based — we help people understand their bodies and make informed decisions about their care, not chase short-term sales.
