What Clients Are Saying

Coach Matt

I have two sons and have been coaching little league for six years. This past Spring I was introduced to the Stride Guide and it was a game changer. Before Stride Guide it was a constant challenge getting the younger players to set-up and swing or throw correctly during hitting and throwing drills.   We were constantly drawing lines in the dirt or using a hit stick to point to where they should position their feet. The Stride Guide eliminates all of those unnecessary distractions. After one or two practices the players understood how the Stride Guide worked to help them with their set-up and we were able to get more reps in per player and most importantly they were able to practice correct techniques instead of reinforcing bad habits. Definitely recommend this product.

We used the Stride Guide to help train our little league baseball team with proper throwing mechanics. Implementing a proper throwing technique at an early age is key to the continued development of the player and helps minimize future injury risk.  Over the course of a few weeks of using this tool, our players experienced significant improvement in throwing technique and accuracy.  The Stride Guide was easy to use and can be utilized to teach and reinforce fundamentals across multiple applications such as basic throwing, pitching, and hitting. I highly recommend this training tool to anyone looking to improve their baseball or softball skills.

One of our biggest challenges, is to get our kids to either step towards their target when throwing or into the pitch when hitting. And we tried everything.....but with the help of Rik and the Stride Guide, all of our kids have improved their mechanics, accuracy and power. The Stride Guide is a game changer. Thanks Rik!

After being introduced to the Stride Guide, I saw immediate results. It is now an integral part of my daily warm up and throwing routine. Its a great tool for pitchers and I highly suggest the Stride Guide for any competitive pitcher. You won't regret it!

Joey Gibellino

Now, with the stride guide on the ground, he can look down at his feet and get immediate feedback on where/how he stepped. He makes corrections on his own and sees the results when he steps properly. It makes for a less stressful game of catch on top of the improved throwing accuracy. Thank you Rik and Stride Guide!

The Stride Guide has been perfect for my boys! They were constantly falling off to the side when throwing. Having the Stride Guide as a constant reminder has helped them focus on their stride and improve their throwing/pitching independently.

What Clients Are Saying

Gretchen, M.

StrideGuide services helped my healthcare literacy and overall communication with my MD at my appointment. Highlights include identifying my relating symptoms, preparing my narrative and questions for the doctor, figure out the goal of my appointment, navigate emotional topics, set my expectations properly, and have a better understanding of how my MD would interpret things.

Client, Healthcare Navigation

Molly Henry transformed my physical well-being after just one session. She conducted a thorough assessment, dedicating more time to understanding my pain than any other healthcare provider I've seen, including my primary care doctor, 2 physical therapists, and a sports medicine specialist. Molly helped me prepare for a neurosurgeon meeting with insightful questions about my MRI results, leading to further evaluation and ultimately the appropriate referral. Her coaching in how to explain my pain and current issues to the correct healthcare provider helped eliminate other possible health scenarios and receive the correct diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis, the appropriate medication, and correct targeted physical therapy referral for shoulder and neck pain. Her guidance saved me a significant amount of time and money within the healthcare system. Her holistic approach to recovery, considering lifestyle, sets her apart. I wholeheartedly endorse Molly.

Client, Sport Performance

I was having some hip pain near the end of golf season and I could not figure out the source but did not want to stop playing golf. StrideGuide provided an evaluation and prescribed some spine stretching and mobility exercises that eliminated my pain. I had no idea the hip pain could be caused by a lack of back flexibility during my swing.

Consulting StrideGuide saved me so much time and money by improving my ability to navigate the healthcare system with my symptoms.

Client, Healthcare Navigation

I didn't even know what I didn't know until I sought guidance from StrideGuide. I found it nearly impossible to navigate the healthcare system without having a medical background once I received a life altering diagnosis.
