The Benefits of Fascial Stretch Therapy

Sammy Montiel, RMT - Registered Massage Therapist

Fascia is a system of hydrated web-like connective tissue that interconnects all body muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It provides structural support, facilitates movement, and plays a crucial role in overall health and function. Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) is a unique, pain-free, assisted stretching system that focuses on the fascia and joint capsule to achieve optimal flexibility, strength, balance, agility, proprioception, performance, and pain relief. 

Unlike traditional stretching methods that isolate individual muscles, FST targets entire fascial nets, releasing tension and creating joint space. This approach enhances physical function, significantly improves sleep, and reduces stress, offering a holistic impact on both mind and body. 

Some changes to expect from a Fascial Stretch Therapy session: 

• Pain - Often greatly reduced or eliminated. 

• Stress - Immediately and significantly reduced. 

• Sleep - Wake up rested and refreshed. 

• Appearance - Better posture. 

• Mobility - Greatly improved after a single session. 

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a versatile treatment that complements a range of other therapies, including massage, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and athletic training. What's more, FST can be covered by your Registered Massage Therapy insurance, making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for your wellness routine.
