Are you tired of PAINFUL stretching?…

Then Fascia Stretch Therapy is for you!

This very unique technique facilitates quicker results with less pain than traditional stretching!

It is so enjoyable and relaxing that many clients say they prefer FST over getting a massage!

Due to the direct correlation between fascia and the nervous system, it helps regulate the nervous system and relieve tension/stress.

People often become so relaxed and regulated that they FALL ASLEEP during sessions!😴😴😴

Results after one 60 min Fascia Stretch Therapy session.

Young athletes can have fascial dysfunction due to growth spurts. Their body’s are going through rapid changes, causing the body compensate by tightening fascia, muscles, and ligaments. When growth spurts hit, the body tightens which decreases proprioception (body awareness). The decrease in proprioception then leads to poor movement patterns and increase risk of injury.

FST can help young athletes reduce the risk of injury, enhance sports performance, and recover faster.

The Fascia Stretch Therapy technique leans into the shifting paradigms and treats the whole person, not just a body part.

It is pain-free and uses constant circulatory, gently oscillating movements of traction and stabilization to decompress joints and expand space in the soft tissues.

Beyond gaining range of motion where needed, one experiences vastly improved kinesthesia (ability to move with ease) and proprioception (sense of one’s posture both when still and in movement).

An overall feeling of wellbeing, confidence, and ease with oneself after receiving FST is the capstone to personal and professional transformation.

3 ways to keep your fascia healthy🕸️🕸️🕸️

1. Hydrate!💧

Fascia is made up of 70% water, which is why hydration is vital for healthy fascia. Dehydrated fascia affects the ability of the fascia to slide and glide against other tissues, creates more adhesions, pain, and dysfunction.

2. Movement! 🏃🏼‍♀️

Movement increases the blood flow to the fascial tissues. This allows for more oxygen to reach the tissues leading to increased flexibility and overall tissue health.

3. Incorporate Manual Therapies! 🙌🏼

FST, massage, acupuncture, etc can all help overall fascial health. These therapies can help relieve pain, stiffness, and move lymphatic fluids.

Fascia is the body’s connective tissue AND also an organ. It is the largest sensory organ in the entire body.

Containing over 250 million nerve endings, it is directly connected to the nervous system.

Your nervous system is hard-wired to recoil and restrict in response to stress or threat.

When we overstretch and create pain, it sends the body’s nervous system into sympathetic (fight or flight).

When we stretch gently, slowly and to a tolerable point, the client can relax.

This allows the body’s nervous system to remain regulated in parasympathetic (rest and digest).

Overstretching or stretching to the point of pain is counterproductive and can lead to injury or decreased mobility/flexibility.

FST is a gentle, yet effective approach to increase mobility, decrease pain, restore function, enhance sports performance, and move better in all aspects of life.

WHAT IS FASCIA?

Fascia (Also known as neuromyofascia) is the body’s connective tissue.

This system is the largest system in your body and one of the most neglected systems.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fascia connects and intertwines with your muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs and bones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fascia is web like and sticky in consistency.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FST is effective because it targets the fascia.

When you target fascia, you target everything else.

Why is Hip Internal Rotation Important???

Without adequate hip internal rotation the body is then required to compensate in daily activities which can possibly leading to hip pain, back pain, knee pain, etc. Internal rotation is often overlooked and majority of clients lack it.

This stretch is targeting the anterior/medial joint capsule of the hip by taking the leg into abduction, extension, and internal rotation. So much relief can be found when we just open up the hips and optimize their function!!!!

I personally find so much relief in my hip impingement and back pain from this one move! Message us to book your FST session!
