Dave and his team are amazing! Through their therapy I discovered my shoulder pain was caused by improper biomechanics vs a structural issue. My pain is gone, I can workout again, and they saved me from an unnecessary shoulder surgery that my orthopedic surgeon was recommending. I can't speak highly enough about them.
Hi -
I made an appt for myself on the 6th at 11am and then I made an appt for my husband Kenny at 1PM. I did them both under my name.
Thanks,
Myna Mungle
What a great experience I had at EST. The staff couldn’t be more professional and knowledgeable. I came to them with a hip issue and after a series of treatments, I had complete relief. Thank you for all you do!
I felt great after I left the office.
I highly recommend this business to everyone.
Had an amazing experience at Elite Stretch Therapy while on vacation in Sarasota. My hip bursa felt considerably better and headache completely gone! I recommend FST to anyone.
I have always been pleased with my sessions with David.
Dave Boltz is a treasure . Incredible knowledge of kinesiology .He has been able to help me gain total movement back in my lower body . Several surgeries created lots of scar tissue , now walking couple miles a day and can play pickleball again !! Highly recommend
I had numbness in my hands and neck pain. Jake helped make it better!
Elite Stretch Therapy Massage & Recovery
Changed my quality of life. As an aging athlete my flexibility and mobility were in decline. It was effecting my performance. I was suffering. David and Chelsey increased the mobility of my hips so I could compete again.
Can’t thank you enough!
Absolutely love Chelsey.
Elite Stretch Therapy is my go to stretch massage in Sarasota. I love the unique combination of stretching and massage. I know when I walk in the door my aches and pains will get the much needed attention. They are popular and I book weekly appointments several months in advance. They are the best!
Wow, this was what I needed. Identified my issue right away that many other providers could not and gave me the exercises to stay ahead of them going forward that no one else could.
David is a master a providing relief. I have had back and hip issues for years and he has always been able to help me get relief. He's the best in the business.
I went to Elite Stretch Therapy to receive relief from pain in my foot and ankle. I can not express in words the professionalism, kindness, and concern I felt while there. The team they have is incredible. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Karen S.
I heartily recommend Elite Stretch Therapy. I have been enjoying the benefits of my time spent there over the last 2 years. Six years ago I had a bicycle accident that resulted in a new hip. I’d had lots of physical therapy through the years but still had a lot of discomfort related to the new hip. When I was referred to the clinic, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! They are very knowledgeable and have improved my comfort level immensely. I found that whenever I pointed out a certain area that was particularly uncomfortable they were able to concentrate there and I left the session feeling much better. I plan on going to the clinic as needed.

The amount of wonderful things about Elite stretch therapy could go on forever!!!!! The dedication and passion behind the work is unmatched and beyond healing!
Dave, is really helping move forward with my hip pain
I was on seriously considering a total knee replacement until I found Elite Stretch Therapy and massage. They work miracles! Professional in both their training and approach to the client's needs - definitely not "one-size fits all" . They tailor your session to your needs in real time. I have made it a part of my health and well-being regime.
Elite Stretch Therapy significantly helped my chronic back and hip pain! Such a professional and knowledgeable therapist, David. Thank you for all of your help!
The stretch therapy itself was amazing – a perfect blend of assisted stretching that gently but effectively increased my range of motion and released tension I didn't even realize I was holding. I left feeling significantly more flexible and with a noticeable reduction in stiffness.
Elite Stretch and Therapy was most helpful in my recovery from a herniated disc. This is a knowledgeable and professional organization that I would highly recommend.
Elite Stretch Therapy has helped movement and pain in dealing with my ailment. The sessions are comfortable and therapeutic. Their focused approach has been beneficial.
Elite Stretch Therapy was exactly what my body needed. The staff was knowledgeable, and professional, and took the time to explain everything. I walked out feeling lighter and totally recharged. Easily one of the better recovery sessions I’ve ever had. It was a little pricey but definitely worth it.
Finding & Booking my first session with this company is by far one of the most beneficial things I’ve ever done for myself & body. After running into some low back problems I researched and tried everything. This by far has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my body.
The entire staff is extremely top notch. You can tell their knowledge and techniques they use comes from years of experience. The best way I can compare the level of body work would have to be what professional athletes receive. Would give 10 stars if possible!
Coming off a stress fracture in my hip and having a herniated disc in my back, I was very apprehensive about running the Chicago Marathon. I have been a client of Dave’s for a few years and his thirst for knowledge and growth is unparalleled to anyone. So it was only natural to make him a part of my training regimen and he was an instrumental part. I highly recommend Dave for any athlete-beginner or advanced.
Dave has provided me with therapeutic relief for many ailments I have experienced over the past few years. He has helped me with tendinitis, muscle strains and headaches. He does it with professionalism and knowledge that I have grown to trust & value.
David is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. He always questioned my health to tailor my session exactly to MY needs. As a competitive bodybuilder this is extremely important to me. The combination of stretch therapy and massage is a must for anyone wanting to lead a healthy active lifestyle. I highly recommend him to everyone.
Dave is a skilled master of the impossible. After re-injuring my shoulder on Saturday I thought I was in for six more weeks of pain and PT. I was fortunate to get an appointment for Monday in Saint Charles but dreading the wait and the drive. I had just had a wellness visit with Dave the week before. I felt great. When he noticed my Monday appointment with a description of my problem he called me! I live in Huntley and he suggested I come right over rather than wait for the long drive to Saint Charles the next day. Stretch Therapy works! It’s Monday. I went to work instead of the doctor. I don’t quite understand the mechanics but Dave sure does. Carolyn Voss
Dave is the best, no doubt. I had consistent lower back pain for 4 years, couldn’t sit or stand for more than 20 minutes without pain. I went to many different places for 4 years and no one was able to help my back. Within 2 months of working with Dave, I was able to sit and stand for hours and still feel good. I still can’t believe how amazing I feel nowadays. I feel significantly better every time I see him. My overall quality of life has improved more than I could have ever imagined since I started working with Dave and I couldn’t recommend him enough.
I’ve been to many massage therapists but David’s stretch therapy really helps balance my active lifestyle and keep me out of pain! I feel better the minute I walk out of his door and for days afterwards. Plus he suggests exercises to help retain the flexibility progress that we achieve in each session. Highly recommended!
With a combination of scoliosis and and an active life style, I had accepted back pain for 20 + years of my life. For the last 5 years, I have been visiting David monthly for stretch therapy and massage, I have no further back issues. David has an incredible knowledge base while maintaining a great sense of humor and bedside manor. So happy to have David in my life!!
I was told after an injury that the damage caused would limit my activity. Thankfully I meet Dave, his combination of Fascial Stretch Therapy & Massage has given me the ability to stay healthy & active. Dave's knowledge and continuing education plays a key role in my fitness/health routine.
David is the best massage therapist around! I have had numerous therapists work on me over many years and
David has been at the very top of all experiences I have had. His methods are unique and he never stops learning new techniques. Definitely give his methods a try and you will be like me, a regular.
Dave is a trusted resource for anyone with tight / tense muscles or joints looking for true results and improvement. For myself, having had a broken back, hip and both elbows, Dave has been a instrumental in my regaining flexibility after years of locked up joints and muscles. Dave not only assists with regular stretching sessions but also provides guidance on exercises and stretches as my “homework' for continued improvement going forward. ‘Thank YOU, Dave for being such a valuable resource for so many!
My sessions with David over the course of the year helped to keep my muscles stretched and in tip top shape, which allowed me to take 23 minutes off my marathon time and stay injury free! David is very professional and personable and genuinely cares about helping his clients. I would definitely recommend his services.
I've had the good fortune of being a client of David's for about 10 years now. His intuition, knowledge and abilty to
find problem areas and manipulate those areas is amazing. Whether is a full on stretch session or massage, I always leave feeling fantastic. Give him a try, you won't be disappointed!
I had the pleasure of getting stretched by the team, when they offered their services during a CrossFit competition. I am thankful they were able to squeeze me in, in between my workouts. It was great! I felt I moved better, it loosened me up after my morning workout, prepared me for my afternoon workout, and gave me the best stretch I've ever had! I thought “it might feel weird", nope. Very professional No OW moments, but so many aahhhhh that feels good moments!
I bought a gift certificate for sessions with with David for my adult granddaughter. After her first session, she called me to rave about her session! David helped her realize that her body was much more powerful than she had imagined. David was able to work with her to help with flexibilty and to work her muscles in a deep manner to loosened tightened tissue. With the first session, she noticed greater flexibility. Would highly recommend. Life changing!
Working with David at Elite Stretch Therapy has been life changing for me. With several bulging discs in my neck, I was perpetually dealing with pain and on the verge of surgery. For several years now, the monthly deep tissue
massage and interactive stretching and exercises he's taught me have relieved my pain and continue to defer my surgery. I'm so glad I found him!
David is a miracle worker! I was a month before a half marathon and developed sciatic nerve pain and a very
painful rb issue that stopped me completely from my training. In one session, David evaluated and treated my
issues, and taught me about what | can do at home. With a week I eased back into my training and was able to complete the race. David is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
Elite Stretch Therapy helped me get out of pain. After working with David , and doing his suggested exercises my
foot pain is greatly reduced & I am in control, I'm back out on the paddle board, walking the dogs and able to do so much more. All the physical therapy , cortisone shots and pills never had this kind of results. David listened to my issues and tried various stretches, massage and exercises that made such a difference. You won't regret going to Elite and feeling 50 good once you do.
I met Dave while attending a Pilates Open House. He had a demo-table and I was very intrigued with what he was doing. As I began chatting with him, I realized that he was not just randomly putting people in these positions. Rather, he was assessing them as he as going. Dave has a deep, deep knowledge of the body's physiology. I bought a package and after my first session I was hooked. My body felt 50 good! I had rotator cuff repair 6 months prior and Dave worked within my body's abilties. After one session, I felt lighter and walked with a new awareness. Dave was able to assess what parts of my body were actually hindering my progress and mobilty. In addition to seeing him every other week, Dave gave me exercises to do on my own as well. At the time, my main form of exercise was running and he helped with abductor and knee pain. I highly recommend Dave to anyone who wants to feel and move better. He is a wealth of knowledge and a master at what he does.
I had spent two years going to chiropractors and the Bone and Joint specialist with no relief. Until I discovered Dave, I could not walk or get on airplanes or continue my work and in my six months with him | became free of pain and moving freely lie | was 20 years younger. I cannot thank Dave enough for the skills he gave me, the therapy he gave me to help me get better and regain my lIfe.
I've gone to David several times as part of my training for multiple races including the Chicago Marathon. Each time he has helped me, listened to me, and cared for me with the utmost concer! Best of all, he gives you ideas,
stretches and exercises to do to continue to work on your areas of concern after the appointment. What I appreciate about David is that he doesn't just treat your immediate: pain or tightness, but he educates you about the root cause of your problem, and how to strengthen your body to avoid the pain in the first place. I highly recommend him!
David has literally worked miracles! He is so knowledgeable and great at what he does, and i love going to see him for a session. I get more benefits from his therapy than any other avenue i have tried before. I cant say enough about him and his practice! I highly recommend Elite!
I highly recommend David! He is professional and skilled. He is fluent in body movement. His combination of
stretching and massage is the perfect mix to relax you and realign your body. | feel 3 inches taller when | leave!
Dave is always a professional. He knows his stuff and has helped my son (17 Yr) stretch out for Baseball. He is a catcher and the extra flexibility is a plus in that position. I highly recommend Elite Stretch Therapy and Dave to any & everyone who wants quality professional therapy. Thank Read more
Elite Stretch Therapy offers a great way to get your body functional. Through the combination of active stretching and massage/manipulation I've become more stable and flexible. Their knowledge of the body is impressive and leads to quick resolution of aches and pains. I've been able to put off knee replacement surgery in part because of the work we do during my appointments. One caveat: this is not just a "relaxing" massage. It's a method to improve your body with functional massage applications. I often work as much as they do during my sessions. But, the payoff is tremendous!
I've been going to Elite for over 4 years now. It has been so helpful to my overall well being and energy level. The staff is great, and I always look forward to a visit there.
I have used Elite Stretch Therapy in the past for both my shoulder and back. It is THE BEST stretch therapy I have ever used. Pain in my shoulder for over a year and a half was gone after one session. When my back needed its tweak, I always left feeling fantastic and back to normal. I highly recommend Elite and know you will not be disappointed.
Elite Stretch Therapy has been such a gift to my aging body, particularly at those times when I've needed it the most. Professional, knowledgeable and compassionate care is what you'll receive. I highly recommend.
Recently, I went to Elite Therapy Massage & Recovery to seek relieve from lower back pain and to improve overall flexibility. The results exceeded my expectations. In addition to the physical improvements, my therapist was very generous in providing advice and guidance for self care . Thank you for a great experience.
EST has helped me immensely with maintaining my ability to continue to train hard as I age. EST clinicians make excellent recommendations for training smarter. They employ cutting edge techniques to increase mobility and range of motion while always providing thorough explanations of how these techniques work. I would highly recommend this clinic as a therapeutic addition to your training routine.
I have gone to Elite Stretch since it opened. I find them qualified, knowledgeable and very caring. I always feel so much better when I leave. The best in Sarasota!
I couldn't believe how good I felt after my last session. David is the consummate professional and the absolute best at what he does. He can truly turn the hands of time backwards.
I had a great experience working with David, he definitely knows his stuff far better than most. I look forward to building the relationship and working with him often. He stays booked up often so if you are thinking about booking time with him, do it sooner than later.
Dave is unbelievable at what he does. I have had at least 25 other professional massages in my life and there is no comparison to the skill level and healing abilities that Dave brings to the table. He is basically the Michael Jordan of body work. I am incredibly thankful to have found him and I plan on going back as often as I can because the 2 sessions I’ve had thus far have helped me with the issues I have more than any other healing modality I’ve tried. Thank you Dave.
This guy knows his stuff. Look forward to working with him again and again. Thank you!
David was absolutely amazing at what he does. It led to the best nights sleep I have had in years. I really feel a difference the next day. Well worth the money
Very informative with a strong skill set, I will be attending more sessions in future.
Dave’s knowledge of the human body goes unmatched! He’s so gifted with his skillset. I was dealing with a lot of hip/knee discomfort with squatting. First, his stretching session felt incredible, and my body reached new limits that I didn’t even know that I had. Second, we went over home exercises that could help. Third, he was the first to catch a significant error in my squatting form - ever since he helped me with that I’ve been pain-free with my squats! Forever grateful to have met Dave and recommend him to everyone in the Sarasota area.
The staff were amazingly knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. I highly recommend their healing services!
The Elite Stretch Therapy Massage & Recovery team offer the most knowledgeable and professional massage and recovery skillsets I have ever experienced. They have been very results-oriented in applying their unique skills to improve my range of motion and reduce pain in my lower back and shoulder/neck areas. Simply put, I have never felt better. They are the best!
I had an amazing experience at Elite Stretch. The atmosphere and the professionalism I experienced was incredible. I’m moving better than I ever have since retiring. Highly recommend Elite Stretch for anyone wanting to improve their mobility and flexibility. I do recommend that you don't wait thinking that it'll get better on its own. The staff at Elite Stretch are knowledgeable and very good at what they do. I even went home with stretching pointers so I can keep my flexibility going.
Excellent , I would go back again, excellent stretch and turned my muscles back on that were bound up, unique set of talents
David is excellent. He was able to address and help with issues my MD and DO could not.
I was introduced to this practice by a friend, and it is everything one would want from a massage experience. A skilled massage therapist has helped me cope with the discomfort and lack of mobility. We all deserve to improve our quality of life by the improvement a massage can provide.
Excellent! Will recommend.
I'm so so glad I was recommended to David. He showed me one exercise and my pain disappeared! I'm forever thankful. Thank you David you won't be forgotten!!!
I wanted to write this because I feel like mostly people take the time to complain and while it is hard enough for me to get an appointment with how busy he is, Dave deserves the good reviews! He continuously strives to help his patients feel better and better. He is always trying different methods, and really customizes your individual needs/treatments each session. He is an incredible listener but as he gets to know your goals you can go a whole session without needing to talk. All in all I hope I never have to stop seeing him, he has made a huge difference in a chronic pain condition.
Thanks Dave
Life altering pain relief ! Thanks Dave
Dave Boltz is the “Real deal”! If you want immediate results, go see Dave at Elite stretch therapy, massage and recovery. A passionate professional with the knowledge and skill to match. He will legitimately help you.
Very private setting. Made sure I was comfortable at all times. Aware of my pain threshold and made sure to achieve a good stretch without exceeding those limitations. I will definitely go back!
My sessions at Elite Stretch Therapy have been truly amazing at helping me to relieve pain, both in the moment and when I am way from the clinic. I have recommended Elite Stretch Therapy to numerous friends and fellow golfers. The care is terrific!
Elite Stretch Therapy Massage is professional, personal and knowledgeable. Very efficient and prompt with their time! Thank you for an amazing treatment!!
Amazing results! You will feel energized and refreshed. Wow!!
This was my first massage of this type. David made me feel very comfortable by describing what was going to happen every step of the way. After my 90 min massage I felt taller, stronger and more flexible. I immediately booked by next session.
I am a senior who has been able to feel good and do as I wish. With aging I have struggled with chronic muscle tightness affecting my ADLs. Mr. Boltz is professional,and interested in helping his clients live their best.
Excellent
David is a must for anyone looking to stay on top of their game! I've always struggled with tight muscles and he was able to give me immediate relief in my hips. His knowledge and passion are unmatched! I've already scheduled my next session!
This is the best massage/stretch that I have ever had!! David was thorough, instructive, and intentional about working on everything needed, regardless of clock.
Professional, peaceful and clean. Session 4, the best I have felt physically and emotionally in years, thank you David
David is wonderful. I saw him for the first time and received an amazing massage. He is so warm ,friendly and knowledgeable, but most importantly he does incredible work. I left feeling like a new person. I will be returning for sure. I have overheard other clients raving about his services too!
He knows his stuff ! Simply the Best!
While training for my latest marathon, my legs became heavy and stiff while my stride began to shorten. My hips were getting increasingly tight which contributed to slower track intervals. It was a downward spiral of needing an increasing number of warmup miles to get worthwhile results during training sessions. My long-runs were significantly slower than their expected training times.
Despite the amount of stretching and gym work I did on my own, my running performance continued to decline. I took extra days off and regularly visited a sports massage therapist and acupuncturist but the sessions did nothing to improve my recovery and return my ability to move quickly. I ignored so many problems— as long as my numbers were good— until “the roof fell in”.
A consultation with David answered many questions: my fascia was stiff because it was gunked-up with muscle waste products. Massages and acupuncture treatments were ineffective because they simply didn’t penetrate into the deepest levels of muscle tissue which were tightly compressed.
David also noted a host of other problems: I was losing power from weak glutes and inadequately firing muscles. Tight hips blocked energy and numerous muscle imbalances prolonged my gate cycle.
David got to work on me and within several weeks, the results of the corrections and adjustments began to to appear. My speed started to return, my posture improved and my bodily mechanics changed, leading to a more efficient and balanced stride with less effort.
If you’re an athlete, no matter your sport, you know that stiff muscles don’t work. Without mobility you won’t be able to perform your sport at your optimal level. But in addition to mobility, you also need a body that is balanced and moves as it was meant to move with proper rhythm.
If you’re a competitive athlete, work with David to find out how much more mobility your body can achieve, how much more easily your body can move and with greater balance and rhythm.
A wonderful experience - Dave is extremely skilled and caring.
David is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met when it comes to relieving pain in the neck and shoulders from stress. The technique he uses and stretch exercises he has you do at home truly does work. The difference is amazing!
Professional service, caring, Compassionate business that customize their services based on your needs at each & every visit. I am so thankful for this business, its been a game changer for me physically. I have made it a part of my care plan, going on a monthly plan. Thank you thank you for your services!!
Amazing treatment and results!! I recommend highly!
My hour and a half stretch and massage sessions with David have helped me tremendously. My body is stronger and with less pain my energy level has increased. I highly recommend him.
David Boltz is outstanding. Cannot begin to tell everyone how much he
has helped me.
Dave is the best of the best therapist.
His treatments last & he really cares about his clients.
I gave my son an hour and a half gift certificate with Dave and he received wonderful relief. Needless to say he was really impressed!
Excellent session. Highly recommended.
David is a highly skilled practitioner with a vast knowledge of how the body works on many levels. He is able to effectively address several issues I have been living with for years and the results have been nothing short of incredible. He also gives you insight on what is going on with your body and how to maintenance it in between sessions for lasting results.
David's knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. With his treatment, I'm looking forward to being able to get back to the gym and hitting up the golf course sooner than later. Thank you!
The team at Elite are the most skilled and caring providers I have ever met. I started to feel better from the very first session and have continued over the past four years. Great practice!
Elite Stretch Therapy practitioners are thorough, confident, and incredibly skilled at what they do. I came in unsteady, weak, and worried and left feeling stronger, taller, and much more stable. I was educated why my body was hurting and we discussed things I could do to help strengthen my weaker areas. I highly recommend Elite Stretch Therapy!
I have lived with neck and back pain for years and have seen multiple chiropractors. I learned about my pain and why I have it in one hour with Dave. I also feel great knowing that I can do things to help myself thanks for the knowledge and great stretching/massage, cant wait to do it again.
Another wonderful session with Dave. Working with Dave has made a difference in the mobility of my shoulder and neck. I am much stronger with better ROM than I was in the beginning. Good luck in Sarasota Dave. I can’t wait to have my first session in the Sunshine State
Dave is always a professional. He knows his stuff and has helped my son (17 Yr) stretch out for Baseball. He is a catcher and the extra flexibility is a plus in that position. I highly recommend Elite Stretch Therapy and Dave to any & everyone who wants quality professional therapy. Thank you Dave !!!
