Fascial Stretch Therapy in Santa Fe, NM
What is FST?
Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) is a unique, assisted stretching technique that enhances flexibility and improves mobility by focusing on the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and organs. Unlike traditional static stretching, FST is dynamic and performed with the help of a trained practitioner, typically on a treatment table.
How does FST work?
A certified FST specialist guides gentle, supported movements that promote flexibility enhancement and mobility improvement through techniques like traction, oscillation, circular motion, and breathing. Each session is tailored to your comfort, goals, and current mobility level.
What are the benefits of FST?
FST may support flexibility enhancement, range of motion, comfortable movement, body awareness, and relaxation. Individual experiences vary, and no specific medical or performance result is guaranteed in terms of mobility improvement.
Who can benefit from FST?
FST can be adapted for active adults, athletes, older adults, and individuals seeking mobility improvement and flexibility enhancement through guided mobility work. Be sure to inform your practitioner about any relevant injuries, surgeries, pregnancy, symptoms, and medical restrictions before your session.
What's the difference between traditional assisted stretching and FST?
Traditional independent stretching is performed on your own, while FST is guided by a trained practitioner. This technique utilizes supported, multi-directional movements and breathing to enhance flexibility and improve mobility based on your goals and tolerance.
How do I prepare for my first FST session?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for flexibility enhancement. Arrive ready to discuss your goals, relevant symptoms, injuries, surgery, and medical restrictions to support your mobility improvement journey. Complete your private Fierce & Fit intake before the session.
