Our Staff
Janet Matthies
OWNER
Janet Matthies is the primary staff and founder of Infinity Flexibility. She is a Boston-based Integrative Bodyworker, specializing in strength and flexibility.
Since 2002, she has worked with highly disciplined adults, teens, and children who depend upon physical dexterity for their work or their chosen lifestyle. Most of them were working through injuries, pain, or lack of strength and flexibility.
People call her the ‘Crazy Stretching Lady’ because of her unconventional way of combining Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and yoga with western resistance training. Janet started on this path when she saw children getting injured in school sports programs due to a lack of knowledge about flexibility and strength training. Over the years, she’s helped many athletes and other active people improve their performance, gain confidence, and eliminate injury permanently from their lives.
