We cordially invite you to join our Chamber Staff in celebrating the upcoming Grand Opening of The Vital Stretch at Alamo Ranch.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kevin Love Owner – The Vital Stretch San Antonio 2108843796 KevinL@TheVitalStretch.com From Combat to Community: Veteran Opens Assisted Stretch Business to Promote Health, Wellness, and Give Back to the Community San Antonio, Texas – A local veteran is turning personal hardship and military experience into a powerful force for good in his community. After witnessing the physical toll of combat injuries on his fellow servicemen, Kevin Love made a commitment to use his skills and resources to improve the lives of others. His new business, The Vital Stretch, offers professional assisted stretch services designed to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and support overall wellness. Raised in a household where necessities were often difficult to afford, Kevin Love grew up learning the meaning of perseverance. “When I was a kid, we couldn’t even afford a mattress,” he recalls. “I remember pulling an old mattress out of the trash because that was the only option we had.” Those early hardships, coupled with the determination to overcome them, set the foundation for the drive that would shape his life. Kevin Loves family often relying on assistance programs like WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) to help make ends meet. "The WIC program was a lifeline for us," Kevin Love recalls. "It helped put food on the table when we couldn't afford much else. It taught me that sometimes you need a helping hand, and that lesson stuck with me." “Growing up, I understood what it was like to not have much,” said Kevin. "That’s why I’m so passionate about this partnership with A Walk in My Shoes. We want to use this business opening as a way to give back to the community in a tangible way, and 1,000 pairs of shoes can make a huge difference for people facing the same challenges I experienced as a kid." Kevin Love faced numerous obstacles in his early life, but his determination to create a better future fueled his ambition. His journey took a pivotal turn during his service in the Army, where he experienced firsthand the long-lasting effects of physical strain and injury. Realizing the widespread need for accessible rehabilitation and wellness services, he decided to take action after returning home. Armed with his military discipline and a passion for helping others, Kevin Love sought out the necessary tools to open his own business, using both education and mentorship to build a foundation for success. Now, as the owner of The Vital Stretch in Alamo Ranch, he is excited to give back to the community he loves. Eric Castillo, founder of A Walk in My Shoes, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “It’s amazing to see a business launch with such a strong focus on giving back. Together, we can make a real impact and help so many people by providing something as basic yet essential as shoes.” “Growing up, I saw how a lack of resources and support can limit someone's potential. After serving in the military, I realized just how much physical pain can limit someone’s ability to enjoy life,” said Kevin Love. “I wanted to do something meaningful, not just for myself, but for everyone in my community. That’s why I started The Vital Stretch.” The Vital Stretch offers personalized assisted stretching sessions that help individuals increase flexibility, improve recovery times, and alleviate chronic pain. By working one-on-one with clients, Kevin Love and his team aim to provide a supportive environment where anyone, regardless of fitness level, can experience the benefits of this targeted therapy. This new venture is more than just a business; it’s a mission to uplift and serve. As a veteran, Kevin Love brings his values of perseverance, dedication, and service to the forefront of his work. With The Vital Stretch, he hopes to be a positive force for change, helping his clients lead healthier, more active lives.
