What is FST?
Fascia is the connective tissue that supports and connects your body. When this tissue is tight or damaged, it can lead to pain and limited mobility. Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a proven method for stretching your fascia and allowing your body to move freely again. Whether you want to relieve pain or improve your sports performance, FST offers benefits for everyone.
What is fascia?
Fascia is a thin but strong connective tissue that runs throughout your body. It surrounds and connects your muscles, joints, and organs. You can think of fascia as a kind of spider web that supports and holds your body together. Issues with the fascia can arise from factors such as sitting in the same position for extended periods, injuries or surgeries, poor nutrition, insufficient hydration, or a lack of varied movement.
Who is FST suitable for?
FST is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or level of physical activity. It is used by individuals with pain issues as well as elite athletes performing at the highest levels. In the United States and Canada, FST has been popular for some time and is widely applied in professional sports such as the NFL, NBA, and NHL.
