Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST™)
I am certified FST level 1 therapist. FST™ is a unique system of assisted stretching that targets fascia and joints. Therapist use movement through a series of stretches to unlock tension in the deepest layers of tissues. The aim is to unravel restrictions in the fascia, relax the hold the nervous system has on the tissue, and open up the joint space by stretching the fascia throughout the body.
Who can benefit from FST?
FST is for everyone wether you are a professional athlete, everyday or occasional gym goer, having an office job or having any chronic pain. It helps to increase range of motion, can improve performance, improve posture and muscle function to name a few benefits.

What to expect during the session?
​
First of all it is pain-free and uses constant circulatory, gently oscillating movements of traction and stabilisation to decompress joints and expand space in the soft tissues. ​​
FST™ is performed on a traditional massage table, fully clothed. You should arrive at appointment in stretchy and comfortable clothing such as tights, shorts, sweatpants, t-shirt or tank top.
To gain better control and leverage, therapist can use stabilisation straps to hold limbs in place. This allows client to relax while the therapist performs the stretches.

Your main job here is to RELAX and BREATHE!
​
You may feel improvements in mobility after one 60 or 90 min session. However, at least 3 sessions are recommended to get the best, lasting results from your FST™ treatment. Regular maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed thereafter.
