INTRODUCE YOUR BODY TO FLEXIBILITY
“Whether you are a professional, executive, parent, athlete or a weekend-warrior, FST assists in the structural integrity of the body and can improve health and performance. If you suffer from conditions such as low back pain, fatigue, or limited range of motion, releasing your fascia will greatly impact and return balance to your whole body. “

What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?
WHAT IS FST?
FST is pain-free process that improves mobility of your nerves and flexibility of your muscles and fascia. It is a passive-assisted stretch that benefits people of all ages and fitness levels, who are cleared by their physician for stretching and active movements.
How is FST Performed
It is performed on a treatment table, using stabilization straps to hold limbs in place, giving the therapist better control and leverage when performing stretches. Your body will be moved and stretched in ways that you likely have never felt before. It works deep into the joint capsules of your body that is not attainable with other manual interventions.
WHO IS FST FOR?
Professional teams and athletes have been using it for years as part of their treatment programs. But it’s not just a treatment for athletes. Fascial Strength Therapy benefits people of all ages and activity levels. We lose 10% of our flexibility for every 10 years that we age unless we actively work at maintaining it.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING...
“I have been going to Linda for Fascia Stretch Therapy once a week for about two months now. I am in my 50s, and have struggled for more than two decades with severe degenerative arthritis stemming from a birth condition. The arthritis has led to multiple surgeries and a variety of secondary problems with non-arthritic joints, plus less and less of both flexibility and strength. And, without any hesitation I can say that the Fascia Stretch Therapy has led to less pain, more flexibility, and a renewed ‘can-do’ attitude in me. I’m not just ‘maintaining’ but actually doing better than I was at my first session.”
