What is Fascia?
Located just under the skin, fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in one place. Fascia stretches as we move, but often tightens up with stress, lack of movement, injury, overuse of muscles, or compromised posture.
Signs and Symptoms of Tight Fascia Could Include:
-
Limited range of motion through the joint
-
Deep, aching pain throughout the muscle
-
Pulling and discomfort that persists or worsens on a muscle or joint
-
Difficulty sleeping due to pain
-
Muscle knots and/or stiffness in the body
What Is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?
FST is a table-based, assisted stretching technique targeting the fascia and joint capsules. It’s a targeted, effective and pain-free experience that provides a deeper stretch than you could achieve on your own.
The aim is to unravel restrictions in the fascia, relax the hold the nervous system has on the tissue, and open up the joint space by stretching the fascia throughout the body.
Using a hands-on approach, optimal stretch and relaxation is achieved through the support of straps which are attached to the table to stabilize the body.
Who can benefit from FST?
FST is for anyone who has a body and wants to move better! This treatment is great for individuals of all ages and activity levels!
