Who Am I?

Hey there! My name is Joanna Riggle. I am a Performance Consultant with 10 years in the Fitness & Wellness industry. I have been an athlete my entire life, primarily in Gymnastics and CrossFit. I graduated from ASU with a Bachelor’s in Exercise and Wellness and have been helping people both in and out of the gym ever since.

Outside of the office I am currently a Trampoline & Tumbling athlete with the Arizona Phoenixes, and love being outdoors with my husband Kevin and our dog Zelda!

I ran Stretch for Strength on my own for 9 years, and have recently formed a partnership with Mycal Anders to own Next Level Performance Consulting.

I am excited to make this shift! We are looking at the big picture with lifestyle integration of your health, wellness, fitness, and performance goals. We want you to become Aligned with your highest & best self, so you can better serve everyone around you.

Thank you for your trust!

What is Next Level Performance Consulting?

I help people move, feel, and perform at their highest potential by blending bodywork, movement, and personal growth. Through the Alignment Assessment and customized sessions, we uncover the patterns shaping your flexibility, strength, and mindset: so you can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

My approach combines Fascial Stretch Therapy (a powerful, table-based method to restore mobility and reduce tension), personalized training to build strength and resilience, and blended sessions that integrate both for lasting results. Each experience is designed not only to improve how your body feels and functions, but also to spark insight and clarity for your next steps.

This approach is about more than just flexibility or strength; it’s about aligning your body and your life so you can show up as your strongest, most adaptable self.

Whether you’re seeking pain relief, athletic performance, or greater adaptability in everyday life, my goal is to help you move better, lead stronger, and grow with intention.

The Services I Provide:

Fascial Stretch Therapy

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a gentle, pain-free assisted stretching method that improves flexibility, boosts performance, and supports recovery.

Unlike traditional stretching, FST targets the joint capsule (where nearly half of flexibility is stored) and treats the body as a connected whole. Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from injury, managing stress, or simply wanting to move better, FST adapts to your needs and delivers lasting results!

Using table-based assisted stretching customized to your needs, we’ll target the areas that hold you back and create more freedom in your movement.

Focus on pain relief, athletic performance, flexibility, recovery, or all of the above.
Restore mobility, reduce tension, and move closer to your goals with every session.
Finish with personalized guidance to help you carry the benefits forward.

As your body aligns, so does your potential! Time to reach your goals for training, performance, or everyday life.

Personal Fitness Training

Using personalized fitness training we will build strength safely to reduce pain, protect your body, and improve your movement potential. Paired with Fascial Stretch Therapy, training focuses on gentle, effective exercises that support flexibility, joint health, and overall function.

Whether you’re a beginner, a recreational athlete, or returning from injury, sessions are tailored to your needs! Endurance athletes can increase resilience, power athletes can correct imbalances, and rotational athletes (golf, baseball, etc.) can safely improve mobility and performance: all while learning to move stronger and more confidently in daily life!

Train on a customized blend based on your unique needs and athletic aspirations.
Reduce injury risk, recover smarter, and build the consistency needed for long-term growth.
Recover smarter when combining both physical release and empowering strength in one session.

Let’s work towards becoming adaptable, aligned, and unstoppable!

Alignment Assessment

Need a little more than bodywork & movement?

Time to integrate! The Alignment Assessment uses the Birkman Method® to give you a clear picture of how your natural strengths, motivational needs, and stress behaviors come together.

Through the assessment and guided conversation with me we’ll uncover the key factors that bridge the gap between where you are now and your highest potential.

From there we will craft practical takeaways that you can immediately apply! You will gain actionable insight that helps you move from intention to action quickly with greater clarity and less friction.

My goal is to help you move better, lead stronger, and grow with intention.

What are people saying about Stretch for Strength?

Relieve Pain

“I did my research on Fascia Stretch Therapy and quickly learned Joanna is one of the best practitioners in the industry. As an avid runner prone to injury, with Joanna’s help, I am now running injury free. In the past, I have received non-fascial stretch therapy, massages, and chiropractic work. By far, I have benefited from Joanna’s experience and professionalism. Joanna is kind, funny, and always on time. I cannot emphasize enough how much Joanna has helped me become pain free.”

Improve Performance

“Thank you so much Joanna!! I appreciate everything you bring to the table. Your ability to watch me move and then target my imbalances has improved the quality of my performance tremendously! As an aging athlete and military veteran, I am able to train at a high level for a little while long as a result of my experience with you. Thank you!”

Learn and Progress

“Joanna has been awesome. Before I started going to her I had trouble doing simple things people take for granted. I’m a very active person but I had trouble doing things like getting on a bike. Joanna helped by not only stretching me but showing me how to stretch myself. She is always willing to help and personalizes everything to meet your needs. She provides instructional videos and checks in with you to make sure you are getting what you need. I strongly recommend her and the benefits she provides by helping you stretch.“

Relieve Pain

“Joanna provides a very personalized and professional experience. She takes the time to understand your history, inform you about FST, and formulate a plan for your recovery. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help you heal. I had been dealing with severe hip pain for over a year prior to discovering the benefits of FST and working with Joanna. A large number of injuries contributed to my pain and additional tightness. I was no longer able to hike or even go upstairs without being extremely uncomfortable. She has done a tremendous job alleviating the pain which has allowed me to live a more active lifestyle again. Make sure to put in the effort at home, ask questions, and set realistic goals… you will see the benefits! Thank you Joanna!”

Improve Performance

“I highly recommend Stretch-for-Strength. Joanna is very knowledgeable in Dynamic Fascial Stretching and has a natural feel for this type of body work. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 23 Years and a marathon runner for the last 20. I have been doing stretch sessions with Joanna for the last 7 months. She has assisted me to increase my flexibility so I can continue with my career, and she has gotten my running to a new stronger level!! Thank You Joanna!!”
