WHAT IS FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY?

FST is a pain free assisted stretching technique that targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs in the body. When fascia becomes tight, it can restrict movement and cause pain. FST is an effective technique that uses constant circulatory, gently oscillated movements of traction and stabilization to decompress joints and expand space and release tension in the fascia and soft tissues. Beyond gaining range of motion where needed, one experiences vastly improved posture and proprioception (awareness of joint position in space). Using a hollistic approach, FST practitioners will assess individual needs and create customized treatment plans to improve flexibility and range of motion, alleviate pain and discomfort, correct muscle imbalances to improve posture, reduce risk of injury and improve overall mobility.
