Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?
Fascial Stretch Therapy™ (FST™) is an innovative, pain-free approach to assisted stretching that targets not only muscles, but more importantly, the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every structure in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs). Unlike traditional stretching techniques, FST works with the entire fascial system and joints to dramatically improve mobility, flexibility, and overall function.
How Does FST Work?
During an FST session, a certified therapist gently guides the client through dynamic stretches while they remain relaxed on a treatment table. Using specialized techniques such as traction (gentle pulling), oscillation (rhythmic movements), and circumduction (circular motions), the therapist is able to release restrictions in the fascia and joint capsules without causing discomfort or pain. Stabilizing straps are used to isolate specific areas and optimize the effectiveness of the treatment.
The Role of Fascia in the Body
Fascia is a three-dimensional web of connective tissue that weaves throughout the entire body. It supports and connects muscles, bones, nerves, and organs, and plays a crucial role in posture, movement, and pain regulation. When fascia becomes restricted due to injury, stress, repetitive movements, or poor posture, it can lead to tightness, reduced mobility, and chronic discomfort. FST helps restore the health and elasticity of this tissue, allowing for more efficient and pain-free movement.
What Makes FST Different?
Fascial Stretch Therapy stands apart from other modalities because it doesn’t just focus on isolated muscles, it treats the entire body as an interconnected system. Unlike static stretching or traditional massage, FST is movement-based, therapist-assisted, and designed to work with the nervous system rather than against it. The therapy is completely pain-free and leaves clients feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile after just one session.
While static stretching often targets only individual muscle groups, and massage focuses on soft tissue, FST goes deeper by integrating joint mobilization and fascial release. It’s a holistic, science-backed approach that is both relaxing and results-driven.
Who Can Benefit from FST?
FST was originally developed for elite athletes, but its benefits extend to people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you're an athlete looking to enhance performance, someone recovering from an injury, a desk worker dealing with posture-related tightness, or simply someone seeking to improve overall mobility and wellness, FST can be tailored to meet your needs.
Common issues addressed by FST include chronic pain, limited range of motion, poor posture, joint stiffness, athletic recovery, and stress-related tension. It’s also an excellent preventative measure for maintaining long-term joint and fascial health.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is FST different from regular stretching? FST is a pain-free, assisted stretching technique that targets the fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints—to improve mobility, flexibility, and overall function.
How long is a typical FST session? Sessions usually last 30, 60, or 90 minutes, depending on your goals and needs.
How often should I get FST? This varies based on your goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others schedule bi-weekly or monthly visits for maintenance.
Is FST safe during pregnancy? FST can be safely adapted for pregnant clients, especially to relieve common aches and improve mobility—but always consult your healthcare provider first.
Is Fascial Stretch Therapy painful? No, FST is a gentle, pain-free technique. Most clients find it relaxing and even restorative.
What should I wear to an FST session? Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing—similar to what you’d wear to a yoga or workout class.
Can FST help with injury recovery? Yes. FST supports recovery by increasing circulation, reducing tension, and restoring functional movement without straining injured areas.
Will I feel sore afterward? Most clients feel relaxed and more mobile after a session. Some may feel mild soreness if the fascia was particularly tight, but it's usually short-lived.
Do I need a referral to book a session? No referral is needed. You can book directly through our website, email, or social media.
Can I combine FST with other wellness treatments Yes! Fascial Stretch Therapy pairs well with Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna sessions, and IV Therapy. Combining these services can enhance circulation, recovery, hydration, and overall relaxation for even better results.

What To Expect During Your Session
Initial Assessment
Your session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your health history, lifestyle, areas of tension or discomfort, and what you hope to achieve. The therapist may also perform a short postural and mobility assessment to identify restrictions and imbalances in your movement patterns.
The Treatment Process
You’ll remain fully clothed (comfortable athletic wear is recommended) and lie on a specialized treatment table equipped with stabilizing straps to help isolate specific areas of the body. The therapist will gently guide your limbs through a series of slow, pain-free stretches while applying techniques like traction, oscillation, and joint mobilization.
Unlike traditional stretching, you won’t be asked to exert any effort. Your job is simply to relax and breathe while the therapist does all the work. Communication throughout the session is encouraged to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
After the Session
After your session, you may feel lighter, looser, and more mobile. It's common to notice improved posture, reduced tension, and a sense of overall well-being. Some clients experience a mild, pleasant soreness similar to a good workout, but most leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
