Why You Still Feel Stiff — Even After Stretching
You stretch. You foam roll. You’ve had massage.
But your body still feels tight — especially in your hips, back or neck.
This is more common than you think. And the missing piece might be fascia.
Fascia: The Tissue Behind Lasting Stiffness
Fascia is the body’s connective tissue web. It wraps around your muscles, joints, and nerves, linking everything from your feet to your head.
When fascia is healthy, it glides and moves with your body. But when it becomes restricted — from age, stress, past injuries, or lack of movement — it starts to behave more like dried glue than fluid support.
This leads to:
That “stuck” or compressed feeling
Decreased flexibility and joint space
A sensation of tightness that doesn’t respond to regular stretching or massage
Why Standard Stretching Isn’t Enough
Muscle stretches often feel good short term — but tight fascia pulls things back out of alignment.
Massage feels great, but it usually doesn’t fully release the deep fascial lines connected through your hips, spine, ribs, and shoulders.
That’s why you might still feel locked, compressed, or tense — even after doing “everything right.”
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST): A Different Approach
At Fascia Remedy, we use Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) — a full-body, assisted method designed specifically to work with the fascial system.
FST works by:
Gently opening joints using traction
Mobilising fascia in multiple directions (not just linear)
Stimulating hydration and glide between tissue layers
Supporting your nervous system to let go of long-held tension
This creates real, lasting change — not just short-term relief.
Why You Might Feel “Heavier” or Less Mobile as You Age
As we get older, fascia tends to stiffen, dry out, and lose its elasticity — especially around the spine, hips, and shoulders.
FST helps restore this lost mobility by encouraging the fascia to become more elastic, adaptable, and responsive again.
This improves:
Movement confidence
Posture and balance
Energy and ease in daily life
Who This Is Ideal For
Adults over 50 with general stiffness
People who’ve had massage or physio but still feel restricted
Clients recovering from stress, tension, or injury
Anyone who wants to move better without being forced or pushed
