Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)

FST is a unique, assisted stretching technique that targets your fascial system – the intricate web of connective tissue that surrounds and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body. 

“Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.”
– Johns Hopkins Medicine

FST addresses this tightness directly. 

— It can lead to profound and lasting changes.

Why FST Works:

• Targets the Fascial System: Unlike traditional stretching that primarily focuses on muscles, FST specifically addresses the fascia, which plays a critical role in flexibility, stability, and movement.
• Decompresses Joints: Gentle traction applied during FST helps to decompress joints, increasing joint space and reducing friction.
• Mobilizes Nerves: FST improves the mobility of nerves within the fascial system, which can alleviate nerve impingement and related pain.
• Unlocks Chains of Movement: The body functions as a series of connected chains. FST works along these fascial lines, improving global movement patterns, not just isolated areas.
• Optimizes Fluid Flow: By improving fascial elasticity, FST enhances the flow of blood, lymph, and synovial fluid, promoting better nutrient delivery and waste removal.

• Assisted, Pain-Free Stretching: Performed by a certified therapist, FST allows you to achieve deeper stretches than you could on your own, all within your pain-free range.
• Neuromuscular Re-education: It re-trains your nervous system to allow for greater ranges of motion, resetting your body’s “stretch reflex.”
• Sustainable Results: By addressing the root cause of stiffness and restriction in the fascia, FST provides longer-lasting improvements in flexibility and mobility compared to passive stretching.
• Holistic Approach: FST considers the entire body and its interconnectedness, leading to comprehensive improvements in posture, balance, and athletic performance.
• Customized to Your Needs: Each FST session is tailored to your individual body, limitations, and goals, ensuring the most effective and personalized treatment.

Why You Need FST:

• Eliminate Chronic Pain: Effectively reduce or eliminate back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness.
• Improve Athletic Performance: Enhance your range of motion, power, agility, and reduce your risk of injury, whether you’re an elite athlete or a weekend warrior.
• Increase Flexibility & Mobility: Gain significant improvements in how freely and easily you can move your body in daily activities.
• Accelerate Recovery: Speed up post-workout recovery and reduce muscle soreness, getting you back to your activities faster.
• Reduce Stress & Tension: The gentle, rhythmic movements of FST promote deep relaxation, calming your nervous system and alleviating mental and physical stress.
• Enhance Posture: Correct imbalances and improve body alignment for a stronger, more confident stance.
• Prevent Injuries: By improving flexibility and addressing imbalances, FST helps prevent future injuries.

FASCIA FACTS

— Fascial unity influences not only movement but also emotions

— Fascia continuum constantly transmits and receives mechano-metabolic information that can influence the shape and function of the entire body

— Fascia study is an emerging science: “in connective tissue, there are other types of cells not yet wholly studied and cataloged” 

— Surgical adhesions are the result of a lack of sliding between the various fascial layers

— Chronic fatigue can be related to the fascial system

— There are 4 types of fascial sheets:  thoracolumbar fascia, the fascia lata, the pannicular fascia, the fascia profundis

BOOK YOUR FST SESSION

“Fascia knows where you are in the world; it’s loaded with position sensors that contribute to your sense of balance and feeds those bearings directly to that fear-conditioning corner of your brain, the amygdala. Any movement grooved into the fascia feels soothing, gratifying, efficient; try to unlearn it, as any batting coach or ballet teacher will tell you, and you’re in for a struggle. New movements, no matter how necessary or logical, just feel wrong.”
