FASCIAL STRETCH THERAPY

Does your body feel tight, heavy or restricted....like you're moving with the "parking brake" on?

Are you an athlete that needs to "get back in the game" or gain a competitive edge in your sport?

Would you like to slow down aging and keep your body healthy, active and pain-free?

• Some facts about stretching (and why your stretching may not be as effective as      you'd like):
• 47% of  your flexibility is held in the joint capsule itself (traditional      stretching focuses on the muscles)
• 42% of  your flexibility potential is in your fascia (that means traditional stretching at best affects 11% of your available flexibility)
• Stretching  can reduce or eliminate tight muscles and stiff joints.
• Stretching  can improve circulation, lymphatic flow (our bodies recycling system), range of motion and flexibility (which can drastically improve many of  our activities)
• Stretching  can make you look and feel younger, in fact many of the things we think of  as inevitable aspects of aging are not inevitable at all and can be avoided through proper myo-fascial care
• Stretching  can make you stronger and taller
• Stretching  can help your body function more effectively thereby increasing performance and extending your athletic career and overall quality of life
• Stretching  can make you feel good by decreasing depression and anxiety
• Stretching can reduce pain and decrease recovery time
• While  self stretching is an integral part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, assisted stretching works much better particularly when trying to overcome some barrier to a balanced body.                 

Leave the old static stretches, muscle tightness and movement restrictions behind!  Experience the revolutionary, pain-free method of assisted stretching that is widely used by elite and professional athletes to enhance performance, prevent injuries and improve recovery.  

Unlike traditional stretching that attempts to isolate and stretch specific muscles, Fascial Stretch Therapy™ creates lasting change and dramatically improves your flexibility by decompressing your joints and unwinding the connective tissue "fabric" of your body.  Don't make the mistake of thinking that getting stretched is something reserved only for athletes!  Lack of flexibility and general "tightness" is the cause of most people's day-to-day aches and pains and significantly effects your health, quality of life and longevity in your activities or sport.  Athlete or not, children and adults of all ages can reach their optimal level of pain-free function with FST™.  Once you've experienced a Fascial Stretch Therapy™ session, you'll forget everything you ever knew about "old-school" stretching!

What is a stretching session like?  

Fascial Stretch Therapy™ is assisted stretching performed on a specially designed treatment table equipped with comfortable padded straps that stabilize the parts of the body not being worked on.  It can be performed exclusively or in combination with a massage treatment.  Clients typically wear loose-fitting or athletic clothing.  Flexibility sessions resemble a fluidly choreographed dance between the therapist and client while you breathe and ease into a gradual series of gentle, but deep stretching movements. 

The experience is relaxing and pain-free.  In fact, many clients "zone-out" while being stretched and wake up with what feels like an entirely new body!  Unlike traditional stretching, FST™ incorporates multiple angles and planes of movement that follow the "grain" of your fascia.  More importantly, FST™ focuses on decompressing your joints to affect profoundly positive changes in your body.  This simply cannot be achieved with yoga or the old-fashioned stretching you learned in gym class.  While many therapies can help the conditions associated with over-use, mis-use, or non-use of our bodies, only FST™ can completely treat inflexible fascia at the deepest level....the joint capsule.  Clinical studies have shown that this form of stretching can increase flexibility by up to 52% in your very first session!  Who can benefit from assisted stretching?    Everyone!  

One of the most ignored aspects of aging and athletic performance is the loss of flexibility in our joints, muscles and fascia.  This process starts well before one reaches middle age and begins even sooner in amateur and professional athletes.  As we begin to lose flexibility our joints deteriorate, posture sags, physical appearance changes, muscular imbalances develop and we become more prone to pain and injury from simple actions.  Daily aches, pains and fatigue that seem to have no obvious cause are likely the result of prolonged and accumulated restrictions in our fascial system.  We lose flexibility at an average rate of one percent per year!  When the issue is compounded by potentially detrimental lifestyles (either too little or too much activity), increased stress or poor hydration and nutrition, the loss in flexibility accounts for an even more rapid acceleration of the aging process.   

Stretching is performance and anti-aging therapy at it's best!  Many clients have experienced significant pain relief after years of suffering as well as a renewed sense of energy, vitality and freedom of movement!  This remarkable technique can benefit anyone from high-school athletes seeking to avoid injury and gain a competitive edge to retired golfers wanting to improve and enjoy their game rather than focus on pain from sore muscles & joints.
