FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fascia is an elastic type material that surrounds all of our muscles and other soft tissues like a body stocking. The elastic nature of fascia makes it very pliable, returning to its original length
after being contracted or elongated. Experts in anatomy have uncovered distinct lines of fascia that run throughout the body and allow us to move efficiently by coordinating muscles from head
to toe. Fascia is an essential part of every movement we perform, from exercising to tying our shoes, even though most people don’t even know about it. Unfortunately, fascia can become restricted, leading to a whole host of problems.
No, FST is pain-free. No more pushing through the pain to see little or no improvement. We assess you from head to toe before we start to make sure that you are only receive the movements that you need. We work with your body and fine-tune the speed and depth of stretches to make sure that you leave feeling great, not beat up.
Our modern lifestyle typically includes too much time sitting and leads to poor posture and accompanying fascial restrictions. Repetitive motions and trauma are even worse causes of restrictions as they increase the density of our fascia, further impeding the body’s innate healing capabilities. Dense, restricted fascia limits the body’s natural ability to move freely, and this can
lead to impaired circulation and lymphatic flow. When we don’t address our fascial restrictions, we make daily life more challenging and may even contribute to the development of chronic
pain
While other businesses provide the same set of stretches for every client that walks in, FST is customized to meet your specific needs.
