Kinstretch for Jiu Jitsu - Spine

What if your Jiu-Jitsu practice built your spine up, instead of breaking it down?

Introducing the most powerful, scientifically proven system you can use to make your body feel better, move better, and become more resilient each week you practice Jiu-Jitsu.

"It's hard to stay healthy in Jiu-Jitsu."

You hear this everywhere you go. And injuries have been accepted as a fact of Jiu-Jitsu life. But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, it's baffling how simple it is (thanks to the latest sports science) to keep your joints healthy and actually to make them stronger each week, in ever-expanding ranges of motion.

Because you'd think, "hey, if it's this simple, why isn't everyone doing it?" Well, it's sort of like proper breathing, or eating healthy and staying lean, or anything in life really. The difference between wild success and mediocrity or worse is really just a matter of whether you do the work consistently or not. 

And in this case, the work is called "Kinstretch". Kinstretch is a scientifically developed movement system that trains your joints to become stronger and stronger, and more and more mobile each week. The mechanism that makes this all work is based on Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) which is a very well-established methodology for improving mobility and strength of joints. 

What that means in plain English is: as you practice Kinstretch for Jiu-Jitsu, you will be bulletproofing your joints against the most common strains and injuries in Jiu-Jitsu, and at the same time increasing your athletic capacity to be able to move more efficiently and feel better while you do it.  And while there are many places you can learn Kinstretch, Dr. Mike Piekarski is not only a board-certified physical therapist but was also one of the first individuals awarded a black belt by Henry Akins. 

Which makes Dr. Mike Piekarski the most qualified, trusted voice on how to successfully apply Kinstretch to Jiu-Jitsu training and for MMA fighters.

What People Are Saying:

“After injuring my back on the IBJJF Pan No Gi, I thought I would be out for several weeks. However after seeking Dr. Mike’s professional help, I felt better on day one. I was able to not only heal, but he kept me Jiu Jitsu active the entire time. To my surprise, I felt well enough to compete successfully in two tournaments back to back. I won a local tournament in Seattle(Rev 50) and I was able to win the IBJJF Houston Fall Open No Gi Absolute, No Gi Medium-Heavy and get a silver medal on GI Medium-Heavy. Dr. Mike, thank you very much for your expertise and professionalism.”

✓“Dr. Mike Piekarski, in my opinion, is one of the best physical therapists in the business. He has helped me countless times. I have been to many of his recovery workshops, his Kinstretch seminars, as well as received advice on what could help with minor injuries to get them feeling better quickly. If you are in any kind of combat sports, I believe it is essential to find a DPT who has experience in this specific form of exercise. He understands the movements and motions necessary to return to sport and also can customize your rehab around these parameters. He is super easy to talk to and understand. He gives clear concise directions as well as follows up with you to make sure you understand. All of his mobility classes have helped me immensely and I would recommend them to anyone.

“Mike is the number one reason I was able to make a complete recovery from ACL reconstruction and return to Jiu-Jitsu. He implemented multiple methods of rehabilitation including Kinestretch, which helped me recover the mobility and range of motion I had lost while I was out due to my injury. I will continue to implement these practices for the rest of my athletic career."

"Young, old, athlete, sedentary job, etc. The Kinstretch class was incredible, it is an intense stretch that leaves you feeling great. It is important to understand why this type of stretching is beneficial for the combat Athlete. In all, I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Piekarski, he is truly amazing at what he does.”

Louis Accaria, Black Belt

You fixed me in three months of treatment versus the prior 8 months of declining to absolutely immobile thoracic and lumbar spine

Then I met Mike, and he worked with me and gave me a few exercises to apply myself to and he said it would help. Flash forward to now! His words were an understatement to say the least! I now can engage in leg attacks, shoot for takedowns and roll with confidence! I sincerely credit his knowledge and the exercises he put me on. Thank you Mike, you are the man sir!"

Manny Rocha, Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Owner of Strive Jiu Jitsu

"For months ago sitting in this position was miserable. I couldn't sit on m knees for more than 30 seconds without them screaming at me and now its a comfortable stretch. I went through 3 knee surgeries in 5 years (2 ACL reconstructions and 1 meniscus repair), afte rthe third I quite jiu jitsu for almost 6 years. I decided to come back in May of this last year and two months later ended up with another knee injury. Michael is the 6th physical therapist I have worked with for injuries with my knees and neck. The things he had me doing helped me improve faster than any other approach I have been given. I am now able to do jiu jitsu multiple times a week with out pain. The flexibility and strength I feel in my knees is the best I've felt in years. Thank you"
