What is Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a gentle, assisted stretching treatment that focuses on improving mobility, flexibility, and overall movement. Unlike traditional stretching, your Registered Massage Therapist guides each stretch while you remain relaxed, allowing your muscles and surrounding connective tissues to release more effectively. Treatment is personalized to your body, movement restrictions, and individual goals.
Who is it for?
Fascial Stretch Therapy is suitable for individuals looking to improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, recover from physical activity, or move more comfortably in everyday life. It may be beneficial for athletes, active individuals, people with sedentary jobs, or anyone experiencing restricted movement, tight muscles, or decreased mobility. Whether your goal is improved performance, injury prevention, or simply feeling better in your body, treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
What happens during treatment?
Your appointment will begin with a discussion of your health history, movement concerns, and treatment goals. Throughout your session, you’ll remain comfortably clothed while your Registered Massage Therapist gently guides your body through assisted stretches designed to improve mobility and reduce tension. Treatment may focus on one specific area or the entire body, depending on your needs. Every stretch is performed within your comfort level, and your treatment is adjusted throughout the session to help you move more freely and comfortably.

Yes. Fascial Stretch Therapy is performed fully clothed. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, such as athletic wear or stretchy clothing.
How is Fascial Stretch Therapy different from regular stretching?
Unlike stretching on your own, Fascial Stretch Therapy uses assisted stretching techniques performed by your therapist. This allows your body to relax while helping improve flexibility, mobility, and movement more effectively.

Fascial Stretch Therapy can benefit athletes, active individuals, people who spend long hours sitting, or anyone experiencing stiffness, reduced mobility, or muscle tightness.

The number of treatments depends on your goals and current mobility. Some people notice improvements after one session, while others benefit from ongoing treatments to maintain flexibility and movement.
Can Fascial Stretch Therapy be combined with massage therapy?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to combine Fascial Stretch Therapy with Registered Massage Therapy to help reduce muscle tension while improving flexibility and overall movement.
