Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)

1 on 1 Sessions

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a relatively new form of manual stretch therapy having started in 1995 by husband and wife Chris and Ann Frederick. It is a system that has been proven to effectively to provide “optimal results in pain management, rehabilitation and functional training.” It has been a continuously growing field, not only in the research behind it, but also its applications in medical, fitness and sports facilities worldwide.

How does it differ from normal stretching? The answer is simple; it stretches the fascia, not your muscle. Where a muscle is a single piece, the fascia forms the whole structure of your body that holds these pieces together and creates our alignment and movement patterns. Stretching the fascia targets all its different components, lengthening all types of connective tissues from deep inside the joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, and muscle tissues.

10 Reasons

To Train

Support Cognitive Function

Working out also supports your cognitive function. When performing physical activity, your heart rate increases which pumps more oxygen to your brain. By exercising regularly you can support your brain health.

Improve Endurance

Aerobic exercise or any form of cardio can help improve your endurance. If you go for a walk or run consistently, you may notice that the more frequent you go, the easier it gets. Your body becomes accustomed to the type of exercise because you’re improving your endurance.

Cardiovascular Health

Support your heart health by exercising consistently. Your heart is a muscle and just like the other muscles in your body, it should be worked out. The way to do it is by getting your heart pumping when you work out, especially as you perform cardiovascular exercises such as running, walking, swimming or biking.

Increase Strength

Incorporating weight-lifting into your workout routine can help improve your strength, which can be beneficial for everyday activities. Whether you lift heavy objects at work, need to carry your kids or grandkids, you’re always Better off Healthy…and strong!

Reduce Stress/Tension

Feeling stressed? Hit the gym! Many people use the gym as a form of therapy, for good reason. As you work out, your body releases endorphins or “feel-good” hormones that improve your mood and reduce stress/tension.

Enhance Quality of Sleep

If you have trouble sleeping, exercising regularly can help improve your quality of sleep. The more you work out and tire out your body, the easier it will be for you to hit the hay.

Supercharge Your Metabolism

Exercising regularly has shown to boost your metabolism, which is responsible for chemical reactions that occur in your body. A slower metabolism will have trouble with weight-loss while a faster one can help you lose fat and burn more calories.

Transform Your Physique

One of the most obvious reasons that people work out is to transform their body. Aside from looking and feeling better, weight loss is beneficial for your heart health and overall wellness. As you burn calories through exercise and eat a healthy diet, you’ll begin to see your physique transform.

Boost Confidence

As you exercise regularly and start to see results, you’ll also notice a boost in confidence levels. As you start to feel good about your progress, it will radiate outward. Whether you’re excited about your weight-loss, your increased strength or faster mile time, every small milestone is something to be proud of.

Make Your Future-Self Proud

Working out also supports your cognitive function. When performing physical activity, your heart rate increases which pumps more oxygen to your brain. By exercising regularly you can support your brain health.
