Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a unique system of table-based assisted stretching and soft tissue work that focuses on the body’s fascial networks – layered connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones and joints. When these fascial networks are restricted, it can cause increased muscle tone, tightness, and pain. FST utilizes gentle traction, oscillation and circumduction of the joints in combination with passive stretching and targeted breathing to allow for enhanced range of motion and regulation of the body’s nervous system.

FST is an excellent treatment choice for anyone who wants to reduce pain, improve flexibility, recover from training, prevent injury, or simply relax and escape from life’s many stressors. Clients remain fully clothed during FST sessions while joints are progressively taken through a series of targeted stretches. Swedish massage techniques may also be used in conjunction with FST to enhance tissue quality, blood circulation and overall relaxation.
