What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?

Movement
Written By Andree Bissonnette

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a table-based assisted stretching system focusing on the fascia and joint capsule as the key elements in achieving optimal mobility, strength, performance and pain-relief.

What makes Fascial Stretch Therapy different from the traditional stretching and bodywork routines? FST:

  • It manipulates, lengthens, re-aligns and re-organizes your fascia

  • It is pain-free and makes your body feel good after long hours of sitting

  • Increases and restores normal joint space (did you know that 47% of your flexibility is locked up in your joints?)

  • Improves flexibility on just the first session which becomes cumulative with multiple sessions

  • Improves muscle activation and relaxation

  • It is proven and based on scientific research

  • Improves breathing patterns

  • Improves posture

  • It re-aligns the entire body back to symmetry

  • Feels great :)

Fascial Stretch Therarpy offers so many benefits for the mind and body. Beyond the physical benefits, our clients often report to us that FST significantly decreases their stress and allows them to fall into a deeper sleep to feel more refreshed the next day. 

See below for a quick clip showing you what you can expect from a FST session.
