What is Fascial Stretch Therapy

Fascial Stretch Therapy, or FST, is a type of assisted stretching focused on the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and joints. Therapy helps patients improve their flexibility, reduce pain associated with movement, and enhance athletic performance. FST involves therapist-assisted stretching and movements that will relax the fascia and muscles. Stabilizing elastic bands may be used to hold the patient in position, allowing the therapist to manipulate the patient into specific stretching poses that follow the fascial lines of the body. 

Who Benefits from FST

If you suffer from joint pain, stiff movement or osteoarthritis, routinely experience what feels like muscle soreness, or are recovering from an injury, you may benefit from Fascial Stretch Therapy to reduce pain, improve flexibility, range of motion and fluidity of movement, reduce inflammation and speed healing. FST allows many patience to avoid more invasive options or anti-inflammatory medication.

FST is also beneficial for:

• People who sit for extended periods in their jobs
• People with poor posture
• People with chronic back pain
• Active, athletic people who train regularly
• Sufferers of degenerative joint disease or arthritis
• People experiencing chronic stress and tension

What to Wear to Appointments

Because the exercises will involve stretching and movement, you should wear comfortable, loose clothing such as shorts, sweatpants and tee shirts, or stretchy athletic wear such as tights and tank tops.
