Have a question about Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST), how it works, or what to expect? You’ll find clear answers below. If you still have a question, feel free to to contact me — I’m always happy to help.

About the Treatment

What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?

FST is a gentle, full-body treatment that works with fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles and joints. It helps restore mobility, reduce tension, and calm the nervous system — all without pain or pressure.

How is it different from massage or physiotherapy?

Massage focuses on muscles. Physiotherapy focuses on strength and rehab. FST works on fascia — which connects everything — and helps restore movement and balance across your whole body. Most clients find it deeply relaxing and more effective over time.

What does a session look like?

You’ll stay fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table. I gently guide your body through supported stretches — no cracking, pressure, or forcing. It’s calm, one-on-one, and always tailored to how your body feels that day.

What other techniques may be used during a session?
While Fascial Stretch Therapy is the foundation of each session, I may integrate other techniques to support your body more effectively:

  • Myofascial Release (MFR) – a gentle, hands-on technique that helps reduce fascial tension, improve circulation, and relieve pain linked to postural strain, tightness, or scar tissue.

  • Graston Technique (IASTM) – a tool-assisted method used to break down adhesions, reduce inflammation, and restore movement in areas affected by injuries, overuse, or restricted tissue.

What to Expect

Is it painful?
No — FST is completely pain-free. Most clients find it relaxing and say it feels like their body is “letting go” without being pushed.

What should I wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing — like what you’d wear to a gentle yoga class. Shorts or leggings and a t-shirt are ideal. No jeans, skirts, or anything tight.

How many sessions will I need?
Most people notice changes after the first session. For lasting results, I recommend 2–3 sessions close together, then maintenance as needed. We’ll discuss what’s right for you after your first visit.

Health Fund & Payments

Can I claim through my private health fund?
Yes. I’m registered with HICAPS under Remedial Massage. If your cover includes Remedial Massage, you may be eligible for a rebate — bring your card to your session or check with your provider.

What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay by EFTPOS, credit card or cash in the studio.
