Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy? (FST/Frederick Stretch Therapy®)
It’s a restorative, ‘assisted stretch’ therapy that focuses on stretching your whole
body. The gentle movements reduce body tension and provides effective,
immediate, and long-lasting results. FST creates space in all joints, freedom in
movement and enhances other body work modalities as well as individual physical
activities, including daily movement. You lay fully clothed on a cushioned treatment
table.
What is fascia?
Fascia is the connective tissue that weaves through, supports, and surrounds
muscles, joints, ligaments, organs, cells, and everything in between. If it’s restricted
due to injury, immobility, or lifestyle; daily movement is diminished. Pain and
tension are often the result. Fascia a fundamental component of our bodies and an
important factor in maintaining health, wellbeing and optimal physical function.
Recent research has shed light on just how much fascia matters, from affecting
range of motion in joints to the role it can play in injury prevention and healing. Like
the musculoskeletal system, the facial system changes in response to repeated
stress and injury. Small changes in the fascia in one are of the body can ripple out
and affect our body as a whole. FST not only focuses on your fascial system it
effectively addresses and improves the quality of your whole well-being.
Who benefits?
People of all ages! Individuals experiencing a restriction in movement/mobility,
people who love to move daily, fitness and gym enthusiasts, Yoga/Pilates
practitioners, athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone cleared by their physician for
stretching & active movement.
