Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is fascial stretch?
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) began in the NFL and later reached other sports such as NHL and rugby. It is a pain-free assisted stretch system that assesses and improves restrictions in the body helping you with performance, injury prevention and pain reduction. We are super excited to have Melissa introduce FST to our KBC members.
Who should consider FST?
- Dealing with chronic back pain: Chronic back pain is often a result of muscle tightness, joint stiffness and lack of mobility. FST can put an end to your pain by restoring mobility and function.
- Regularly train: Recovery is key to training and FST improves blood flow to tired muscles resulting in less soreness and quick recovery!
- Active lifestyle: FST can help you better your running pace, life heavier weights, increase flexibility and shoot up your endurance.
- Dealing with an old injury: Your therapist will help you with your range of motion allowing your body to slowly get rid of unwanted compensations.
What are the benefits of stretching?
Stretching can:
- Reduce pain
- Reduce risk of injury
- Reduce or eliminate tight muscles
- Reduce or eliminate stiff joints

Mobility Maintenance and Improvement is important for all ages, fitness levels, and not limited to recreational or competitive athletes.
