1. About Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)

  • Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a holistic approach to pain relief and enhanced mobility, focusing on the fascial lines that connect your muscles and organs.

  • Unlike traditional stretching that focuses on isolated muscles, FST addresses the entire fascial net to improve your range of motion and reduce pain.

  • Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds and interconnects your muscles, organs, and skeletal structures. It plays a crucial role in supporting your body's functional and structural integrity.


2. Benefits and Effectiveness

  • Remove restrictions, reduce and eliminate pain, restore flexibility, increase range of motion, improve sleep, rebalance and improve posture, reduce the risk of injury, faster recovery from workouts, enhance performance, and reduce stress.

  • FST not only improves flexibility but also enhances the mechanical function of muscles, joints, and tissues. This leads to better athletic performance, including increased speed, strength, and agility.

  • Stretching is more than just a warm-up or cool-down; it's essential for your overall health. By improving the elasticity of your fascia, you'll experience better flexibility, greater range of motion, and less pain.


3. Treatment and Safety

  • Fascial Stretch Therapy is suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels looking to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being. Our methods are non-invasive and focus on gentle, pain-free stretching, making it a safe option for most people.

  • The frequency of treatments is tailored to your individual needs. However, many clients experience noticeable improvements within three sessions or less.

  • Fascial Stretch Therapy is a pain-free, one-on-one, fully clothed assisted stretch flow using traction for faster and more significant gains in flexibility and mobility that clients feel immediately.


4. Additional Therapies We Offer

  • Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on technique that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue. This helps to eliminate pain and restore motion by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.

  • While both focus on fascial lines and connective tissues, MFR is more about manual manipulation and is often used to target specific areas of tightness or pain. Fascial Stretch Therapy, on the other hand, is a more dynamic, whole-body approach.

  • IASTM, often known by the brand name Graston Technique, involves using a set of hand-held instruments to perform soft tissue manipulations. It's particularly effective for breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

  • IASTM is used to treat conditions like tendinitis, carpal tunnel, neck pain, and back pain. It's excellent for improving mobility, speeding up recovery from injuries, and reducing pain.
