Fascial Stretch Therapy in Courtice

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a unique table-based assisted stretching therapy that works on the body’s fascia and joint capsules to help lengthen, realign and reorganize your fascia through a gentle, pain-free approach to help you feel less restricted in all areas of movement.

All sessions are one-on-one and individualized to provide focused care exclusively for you. We offer direct billing with almost all insurers, but make sure to inquire with your insurance company regarding your specific policy.

How is FST Different from Other Stretch and Massage Therapies?

Besides targeting tissue, FST involves some very light client participation. FST is an assisted stretching technique performed by a Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist with the client on a treatment table. 

When assisted stretching takes place on the treatment table, comfortable straps are used to stabilize the limb or part of the body that is not being worked on, thus facilitating complete relaxation of the person being stretched and enhancing the effectiveness of the actions of the therapist. 

While it is assisted stretching, the fascial stretch therapists provide occasional instructions for clients to lightly contract and fully relax muscles to help restore the natural movement of the muscles, fascia, and joint capsule.

What Can I Expect in an FST Treatment?

FST is provided without the use of any lotions or oils, and the client remains fully clothed in comfortable, loose-fitted clothing, such as workout gear or stretchy yoga pants.

During a treatment, the therapist will move your body and limbs into various positions of stretch. You will be guided through a sequence of cued breathing while contracting and relaxing your muscles as the therapist gently increases the stretch. This, coupled with the breathing patterns and low strength output, enhances the effectiveness of the stretches and actions of the therapist creating greater flexibility than you might achieve on your own.
