Dr. Nikos C. Apostolopoulos is the founder of Stretch Therapy™ and microStretching®. After suffering a serious motor vehicle accident in 1989, resulting in a a spinal fusion at C5-C6, Nikos created microStretching in order to help himself recover. The thing he noticed was that the gentler the stretch the better the results for pain alleviation. microStretching was developed in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
