WHAT IS FST™?
Fascial Stretch Therapy is a unique system of assisted stretching that focuses on opening up the joint space, lubricating the joint, relaxing the nervous systems hold on the tissue, and stretching the network of fascia throughout our body. FST™ is performed on a treatment table, using stabilization straps to hold limbs in place, giving the therapist better control and leverage when performing the stretches and allowing the client to completely relax. By targeting the fascia network, a therapist can unlock tension to the deepest layers of tissue in a gentle and pain free way using movement!
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SESSION OF FST?
Clients should arrive to their appointment in stretchy comfortable clothing (ex. Tights, shorts, sweatpants, tshirt or tank top). Initial assessment will cover everything from posture, pain, quality of movement, quality of sleep and history of injury. You will be asked to participate in some muscle contractions, otherwise your job is to RELAX and BREATH!
FST™ is completely pain free. This is the key to ‘romancing’ that nervous system, relaxing the client and their tissues, so that the therapist can open range deep within their joint. FST™ system works with ‘finesse not force’, to unravel those restrictions in the fascia and tune the nervous system to current conditions.
Improvements in mobility felt in one 60 or 90 min session. However we recommend at least three sessions to get the best, lasting results from your FST treatment. From there, regular maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed.
