Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a type of stretching technique that focuses on the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints in the body. The goal of FST is to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall joint mobility by targeting the fascial system.

During a Fascial Stretch Therapy session, a certified practitioner uses a combination of assisted stretching and traction to manipulate and stretch the fascia. This is typically done on a treatment table, and the client is guided through a series of movements to target specific muscle groups and joints.

Fascial Stretch Therapy is believed to help release tension in the fascia, which can result from factors such as injury, repetitive movements, or prolonged periods of immobility. By addressing the fascial system, FST aims to improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and promote better overall functional movement.

It's important to note that while some people find relief and benefits from Fascial Stretch Therapy, individual responses may vary. If you're considering FST, it's advisable to consult with a qualified practitioner to discuss your specific needs and any potential contraindications.
