Podcast Episode 170: Meet Olivia Allnutt, Co-Director of Stretch Therapy Who’s Helping to Lead a Stretch Movement Globally

Creating a groundswell of attention and propelling enough momentum behind an idea to turn it into a true “movement” is no easy feat.

Organizations, causes, and the like attempt to do it all the time and often fall short.  

Some achieve it on a local scale, others nationally…

Neither case is easy.

With factors like the viability of the market, the current consumer environment, and psychology of the crowd all at play, there's a particular element of making a movement where it's almost as if the stars need to align. And that doesn’t even factor in messaging and grassroots and digital marketing, which obviously play a pivotal in how far and fast a movement spreads.  

So, when I see a movement modality or paradigm gaining “movement level status,” you better believe my interest is piqued. Add on top of that this movement is gaining momentum on a global scale, and well, I just have to experience it for myself…

Such is the case with Stretch Therapy, a movement modality that’s redefining the art of stretching around the globe and one of the most formative bodywork modalities that I’ve done in my life.
