FST™ is an assisted stretching technique unlike any other stretching modality, targeting the body’s connective tissue, aka fascia. 

Fascia quite literally “connects everything” in your body. A thin encasing of connective tissue that holds all of your organs, blood vessels, bones, nerve fibers and muscles in place, fascia houses 80% of the body’s nerve endings, making it almost as sensitive as skin. When healthy, fascia creates a smooth, frictionless surface that allows free and painless movement. Stress, injury, or bodily trauma can cause fascial adhesion (tightening and crinkling of the fascia), leading to symptoms like chronic pain, lack of mobility, and decreased muscular coordination.

Most massage and stretching techniques focus on individual muscles. FST™ looks at the body as a whole, starting at the joint capsule and focusing on planes of tissue. Essentially “clearing out the cobwebs,” this gentle assisted stretching technique works to release fascial adhesions, helping to increase hydration and eliminate toxins and creating space for your muscles to slide and glide more efficiently, so you can get back to moving and living better.
