FASCIA STRETCH THERAPY
Pain-Free Recovery
Improved Mobility, Alleviated Chronic Pain
Why FST?
This isn’t the stretching you did in Grade School. The Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) approach can produce almost instant results alleviating pain and increasing mobility / range of motion.
This modality focuses on the fascia (lining of muscle and other tissue) and joint capsule to gently but effectively increase mobility, improve posture, relax tension, and improve circulation with little-to-no pain involved.
Synchronized breathing is key to this slow-paced methodical work. The practitioner really strives to take the time to “listen” to what the fascia is telling them and respond appropriately to encourage the body to heal.
Common Uses:
Alleviate chronic pain including back pain, sciatica, pinched nerves, posture issues, uneven hips/legs, poor circulation
Athletes: from professionals to weekend warriors to occasional trailblazers and paddleboarders
Complementing physical therapy, massage and injury rehab for added results
What To Expect:
-
Generally table based, face up and fully clothed, comfortable yet snug / secure straps stabilize the opposing limb from the current focus allowing for deeper, more meaningful and engaging stretch work.
-
There is never a moment pain is involved or encouraged so constant communication throughout the session should be expected. This type of recovery work is much more engaging and interactive than massage work with little to no pain involved.
-
You may feel near instant results and / or release, though it can take time and more than one session to peel away layers of tension / tightness from years of progressive stressors and postural issues and begin to feel lasting improvements.
