FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a unique, table-based assisted stretching technique designed to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall body function. Unlike traditional stretching methods, FST uses gentle traction, rhythmic movement, and specific stretches to target the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints. This process not only releases tightness and adhesions in the fascia but also decompresses and creates space in the joints, allowing for better alignment and improved movement efficiency.
One of the key benefits of FST is its ability to enhance flexibility without the discomfort often associated with deep stretching. By addressing the fascia, FST helps to restore balance to the body, relieving tension that may be restricting movement. After a session, many clients report feeling lighter, more mobile, and relaxed. Over time, consistent FST sessions can significantly improve posture, joint mobility, and overall functional ability. It’s particularly effective for relieving chronic pain, improving recovery time after injury, and enhancing athletic performance by reducing the risk of injury and boosting muscle activation.
To prepare for a session, it’s recommended to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement, similar to what you’d wear for a yoga or fitness class. Since FST is performed on a massage table, it's important to stay relaxed and breathe deeply throughout the session to maximize the benefits. Hydration is also key—being well-hydrated before and after your session will support your fascia’s elasticity and your body’s ability to recover.
Whether you're looking to relieve pain, improve flexibility, or enhance your athletic performance, FST is a safe and effective therapy to help you move and feel better.
