Fascial Stretch Therapy is an assisted stretch therapy method which focuses on the connective tissue system rather than isolated muscle treatment. FST therapists assess active, passive, and resisted range of motion in functional positions and movement. When you’re trying to improve your health, skills on the athletic field or weight room, sometimes you need a little outside help. Our stretching gives everyday people and athletes alike a boost in flexibility, range of motion, and injury recovery. Be A Friend to Your Body.
