Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy is a unique system of table-based assisted stretching, therapy and training that dramatically improves your flexibility by lengthening your fascia.
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds all structures of the body. As you age, the fascia thickens and shortens. Add to this the stress that your body is under from poor posture, lack of exercise, injury, surgery, disease or over-training - and you get a body that is stiff, sore and injury-prone.
When the fascia is restricted, it can cause:
• Decreased joint space, which can lead to degenerative joint diseases and osteoarthritis
• Increased muscle tone, which can lead to trigger points, strains, tendonitis and tears
• Increased nervous tissue tone, which can lead to headaches, trigger points and muscle tightness
• Increased scar tissue formation
• Decreased blood flow and energy levels, and much more
While many therapies can help these conditions, only FST™ can completely treat inflexible fascia at the deepest level - your joint capsule. Tension in the tissue and around the joint is released to restore and improve range of movement and take away pain caused by past injuries. This system focuses on realigning, elongating and balancing the body.
Benefits of FST™

I combine FST with your acupuncture session, and offer it as a standalone treatment.
