Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a specialized therapeutic technique rooted in anatomy and biomechanics. It focuses on stretching the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints, to improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.

By gently stretching and releasing tension in this web-like structure, FST aims to enhance your range of motion, correct posture, and alleviate muscle and joint tightness.

This treatment can be a valuable addition to your wellness routine, whether you're an athlete or someone seeking relief from chronic pain.

What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?

Fascial Stretch Therapy

Not your average stretch.

We are manual therapy providers.

Fascial Stretch Therapy is a specialized form of stretching that involves assisted, pain-free movements performed by highly trained and certified therapists.

Unlike traditional stretching, at Sahara Health FST providers work on the entire fascial system, addressing multiple joints simultaneously through a series of rhythmic and flowing movements.

The therapist gently stretches and mobilizes the fascia, systematically improving its elasticity, releasing tension, and promoting lengthening and realignment of the connective tissues.
