Clothing that lets you move.
FST is usually done in comfortable athletic clothing. Massage can be adapted over clothing, or use direct skin contact with oil, gel, or lotion. Chris explains the plan before you change.
YOUR FIRST VISIT · AUSTIN
You bring
your goals.
We start there.
Start with your goals. Chris will explain the care options and plan the visit with you.
Your first visit gives Chris time to understand your goals and begin care. Work together in a private studio, with the support, pressure, and pace adjusted to you.

A conversation.
A clear starting point.
The first 15–20 minutes are for your history, goals, and movement review. Hands-on care follows within your appointment time.
Tell your story.
Spend the first 15–20 minutes discussing your goals, activity, health history, previous care, and relevant clinician guidance.
Begin hands-on care.
Chris explains suitable options before you begin hands-on care. The method, pressure, and position can be adjusted with your feedback.
Review your movement.
Try the movement again. Tell Chris what feels different and what still needs attention, then agree on a useful next step.
Illustrations show examples. The care and movement you try will depend on your visit.
DURING HANDS-ON CARE
Support for your body.
Control over your care.

Support, with room to adjust.
Pillows and an adjustable table help you rest comfortably. Padded FST straps may stabilize a resting limb while Chris works on another area. Tell him if a strap feels tight; he can adjust or remove it.
Privacy at each step.
Massage with skin contact uses sheets or a drape to cover areas not being treated. DFR and tape need access to the selected skin area. You and Chris agree on clothing and coverage before each method. You can keep clothing on or leave out a method.
Your feedback matters.
Tell Chris what feels right and what you want to change. He can adjust the support, pressure, or position, or pause the care.
- Less pressure
- A different position
- A pause
