FASCIAL STRETCH

Fascial Stretch Therapy™ improves flexibility and range of motion, alleviates muscle tension and pain and helps you tap into parasympathetic (rest and digest) promoting overall deep relaxation. Overall, it can lead to a greater sense of well-being and physical balance.

​

FST works on fascia - the thin layer of connective tissue that supports and surrounds every muscle and organ in your body. Healthy fascia reduces friction between muscles allowing for more ease of movement while improving circulation. 

​

Fascia can become thickened, stiff, restricted and less flexible over time through lack of movement, poor posture, repetitive movements, injuries, dehydration or chronic stress. Tight fascia can restrict movement at the joint making it difficult to bend or stretch. Trigger points can develop which lead to pain and discomfort when pressed. Fascia can pull on muscles which can lead to muscle imbalances and ultimately pain.

​

Fascial Stretch Therapy™ is an assisted stretching approach that applies traction at the joint and movement to the connective tissue that gently and effectively releases tight fascia. This creates more movement and space around joints, loosens adhesions, reduces tension, and improves flexibility of the entire fascial network. 

​

Not only does this work on a physical level but on the emotional as well. Fascia acts as a richly innervated sensory organ that has a deep connection to our nervous system. It has the ability to hold emotions, past trauma's and stress patterns. By bringing fascia back into balance, we can have a profound effect on both body and mind leading to an overall sense of well-being and rejuvenation.​​
