Private Training and Fascia Stretch Therapy

Crystal offers private sessions designed for your individual needs. Helping you progress towards your goals and feel better in your body.

  • Personal Training
  • Joint health and Mobilization

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?

Fascia Stretch can:

  • Reduce pain
  • Reduce risk of injury
  • Reduce or eliminate tight muscles
  • Reduce or eliminate stiff joints
  • Improve circulation
  • Improve posture
  • Make you stronger
  • Better range of motion

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

🥊Our private sessions start with an assessment of where restrictions are present in your body.

🥊We proceed with a Fascial Stretch Therapy session, focusing our attention to restricted areas.

🥊At the end of our FST session the client is given maintenance homework to continue independent work on improving the health of their fascia and improving their mobility.

4 Things to Look for In a Good Coach

Posted on by Natasha Gautam

The type of coach you have in your corner can make a world of a difference, helping you move beyond just self-motivation!

Coaches inspire you to change and form long-lasting healthy habits. They play a huge role in whether or not you stick with the sport/activity. In terms of enjoyment and overall performance, having a good coach can make things a lot easier.

Here are the four things you should look out for in a good coach...

1. Drive

Nothing can get you going better than a coach who is driven and passionate about his/her sport. When we’re driven to be the best at something, we can achieve anything. Coaches that love teaching their sport can make or break it for you.

2. Energy and Positivity

High energy and enthusiasm in a coach is what will keep you interested and focused. This contributes to the overall enjoyment factor! A coach also needs to be positive. Everything needs to be done in a constructive way, teaching through encouragement and positive reinforcement.

3. Willingness to Learn

Good coaches will constantly be on the lookout to learn what’s new and expand their knowledge! Rules and techniques gradually change over time, so it’s important that your coach is constantly willing to learn and adapt. Good coaches should also be receptive to feedback!

4. Experience

A coach that has experience will most likely embody all the qualities listed above. Apart from basic credentials, you should look for coaches with advanced training. A coach who has invested in their own training shows commitment and a great deal of time, energy, and effort spent to provide you with top-quality coaching.
