What Is Fascial Stretching Therapy (FST)?
Fascial Stretching Therapy is a unique system of assisted table-based stretching performed by a registered massage therapist. The stretching techniques are focused on releasing and mobilizing the fascia, joint capsule and other connective tissues that may be limiting your flexibility, strength and performance.
How Does Fascial Stretching Therapy (FST) Work?
FST uses traction and a multi-dimensional stretching technique to increase a joint’s full range of motion and to affect deep to superficial muscles. Typical stretching does not follow this approach. It also follows a logical anatomical progression to work through the entire chain of muscles throughout the body. FST is very participant oriented by using the stretch reflexes of the client to help improve the muscle response.
