The Best Stretching Treatment for Over 50s
The Best Stretching Treatment for Over 50s
Feeling stiffer with age? You’re not alone.
Even healthy, active people over 50 often notice:
Less mobility in the hips or spine
Difficulty bending, rotating or walking freely
A general sense of tightness or heaviness
This is normal — but it’s also highly treatable.
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is designed specifically to help restore movement, comfort, and confidence in people over 50 — without pressure, force, or pain.
Why We Feel Tighter as We Age
Fascia — the body’s connective tissue — changes over time.
It becomes:
Drier
Thicker
Less elastic
More reactive to stress and tension
This affects everything from posture and balance to energy and coordination.
What many people don’t realise: this tightness lives in the fascia — not just the muscles. That’s why general stretching or massage may not create lasting change.
Why FST Works So Well for Over 50s
FST is a gentle, full-body treatment designed to:
Decompress joints
Rehydrate and mobilise the fascia
Restore elastic recoil — so the body moves more naturally
Improve posture, circulation, and calm
It respects how the fascia, joints, and nervous system work together — and how the body needs support, not force, to change.
This makes it ideal for:
Stiff hips, back, or shoulders
Limited rotation or stride
Balance or walking changes
Stress-related holding patterns
Post-injury or post-surgery recovery
The Science Behind the Stretch
Healthy fascia stores and releases energy like a spring. This is called elastic recoil.
But when fascia becomes rigid, it can no longer support the joints efficiently — the body loses its natural buoyancy.
FST works by restoring this recoil through movement and breath — without overstretching. It respects the body’s natural structure (also known as tensegrity) so that your mobility is supported, not forced.
What Clients Over 50 Say After FST
“I feel lighter and more upright.”
“My back and hips move better than they have in years.”
“It was gentle — but the change was real.”
“I walk differently now.”
“I didn’t know how tight I was until it let go.”
