About Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?
Fascial Stretch Therapy
FST is pain free! It improves mobility of your nerves & flexibility of your muscles & fascia. Other methods focus on isolated muscle stretching which is often uncomfortable or even painful.
What is Fascia (fas.ci.a)?
Fascia is the connective tissue system of the body that penetrates through and wraps around muscles, nerves, organs and just about everything else in your body
Based on Science
The first research into the effects of FST commenced in 1997 with the founder Ann Frederick's thesis. Current research on the effects of FST on chronic low back pain is being conducted with a team at the University of Arizona Medical School in Phoenix.
