Clinical advisors

The PTs who keep us honest.

Stretch Quest is a compliance aid — a game that helps kids actually do the stretches their clinician prescribed. The app itself is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. But the exercises need to be clinically sound, the sequencing needs to match how real pediatric PTs work, and the language needs to respect where Stretch Quest ends and the clinician begins.

The advisors listed below review exercise selection, content, and safety guardrails. They are named with their written permission. Opinions expressed on Stretch Quest are not theirs unless quoted directly, and their involvement is not an endorsement of the business outcomes of the product — only of the clinical soundness of what we build.

Building this list transparently

Stretch Quest launched recently, and I'm building the clinical advisory group publicly rather than backdating it. As each pediatric PT signs on, their name, credentials, and focus areas will appear here — only with their explicit written approval of every word used.

If you're a pediatric physical therapist and you'd like to advise (or just kick the tires and tell me what's wrong), I would love to hear from you: kevin@playstretchquest.com.

Named involvement is uncompensated; formal advisor roles include a small equity stake and a standing 30 minutes every six weeks.

What clinical advisors do

  • Review the exercise library — exclusions, contraindications, and when-to-refer language
  • Review routine sequencing for the 14 clinical categories (Sever's, plantar fasciitis, Osgood-Schlatter, growing pains, etc.)
  • Help calibrate the parent dashboard — what signals matter, what should trigger a “see your PT” prompt
  • Provide clinical language review on condition landing pages before they publish
  • Flag anything that reads like medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment — and help me rewrite it as compliance-support language

What clinical advisors do not do

Advisors don't diagnose, treat, or prescribe through Stretch Quest. They don't provide medical advice to our users. They don't have access to child-level data. Their involvement does not make Stretch Quest a medical device or a substitute for a pediatric PT, orthopedist, or primary care clinician.

If a child is in pain, has an acute injury, or their symptoms are worsening, families should see a qualified healthcare provider. Stretch Quest is a tool that helps kids do the exercises their clinician prescribed more consistently — nothing more, nothing less.
