What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a gentle, manual therapy / assisted stretching technique that focuses on releasing fascia. FST addresses a variety of issues relating to immobility and chronic pain.  Through fluid waves of movement at multiple angles, inflexible fascia is treated at its deepest level - the joint capsule  As the muscles surrounding the joints relax, the waves of movement stretch the tissues and fibres, and the fascia is released.  As a result, the fascia becomes more pliable and hydrated, thus increasing range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility.  FST also trains the brain and nervous system.

​

During an FST treatment session, the client wears comfortable, non-confining clothing. Treatment is performed on a massage table, and incorporates using soft, comfortable, stabilization straps. Utilizing these straps facilitates relaxation and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.  FST is virtually pain-free and extremely relaxing.

​

FST is an adjunct holistic treatment, and works in conjunction with massage therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy, and/or chiropractic treatments.
