Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is an assisted stretching approach aimed at improving flexibility, mobility and movement comfort.
It focuses on stretching along fascial lines rather than isolated muscles.
Fascial Stretch Therapy is typically delivered one-to-one with a practitioner guiding your body through stretches. Sessions are designed to improve range of motion and reduce the feeling of stiffness or restriction.
You will usually lie on a treatment table while the practitioner guides stretches through multiple joints. Sessions may include assessment of tightness patterns and advice on movement or self-stretching.
Assisted stretching should be adapted for hypermobility, recent injury, joint instability or pain. Avoid aggressive stretching and choose a practitioner who works within your comfort.
Fascial Stretch Therapy developed from assisted stretching and manual therapy concepts, with increased emphasis on fascia and multi-joint movement patterns in modern training programmes.
We don’t currently have any mapped conditions for this therapy.
Is FST the same as massage?
No. It is table-based assisted stretching targeting joints and fascial lines.
Does it hurt?
Stretches are gentle and pain-free, adapted to your range and feedback.
What should I wear?
Athletic or loose clothing that allows movement; socks may be used for grip and hygiene.
