Ann FrederickAnn Frederick is a former professional dancer, having grown up in her mother's dance studio, starting to dance at the age of four. She has practiced manual therapy for over 20 years, specifically in the field of flexibility training, focusing on her rand of assisted individual stretching, group stretch and dance instruction.

Ann and Chris directed their own highly successful center for Fascial Stretch Therapy, physical therapy/physiotherapy, Structural Integration, chiropractic, acupuncture, sports massage and Pilates for nearly 20 years.
