Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a neuromyofascial manual therapy that focuses on the connective tissue system rather than an isolated muscle. Fascia is the connective tissue system of the body that penetrates through the body and wraps around muscles, tendons, joints, arteries, veins, organs, and everything else in your body. An optimal stretch is achieved by lengthening the tissue from deep inside the joint capsule to the origin of the muscle all the way through the insertion and all the connective tissues in between. It is a pain-free method of stretching that can provide almost instant results.

This type of assisted stretching technique is performed by a Certified Fascia Stretch Therapist with the client on a treatment table. When assisted stretching takes place on a treatment table, comfortable straps are used to stabilize the limb that is not being worked on, thus facilitating client relaxation, and enhancing the effectiveness of the actions of the practitioner.
