Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?
Fascia is a type of connective tissue that links your muscle groups together, much like the plastic casing around a sausage. It spans your entire body, with fascial lines running from head to toe. A session of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) involves gentle traction, which creates more space within the joint capsule, helps break up adhesions that build up in the fascia, and reduces compressive forces on the joints. This process allows for a deeper, more comfortable stretch. During the session, the client will perform light muscle contractions against minimal resistance. These contractions trigger a "contract-relax" response, which helps calm the nervous system, enabling a deeper and more effective stretch.
