Fascia Stretch Therapy

Stretch to Win (TM) Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) is one of the most effective manual therapy and movement methods.  It is a stand alone service that enhances and integrates with all training and therapy approaches.
FACTS:
  • Fascia is the most prevalent tissue in the body yet it is the least understood by your doctor, therapist and trainer
  •  The health and function of all joints & muscles are a direct result of the condition of your fascia
  • Healthy circulation in your muscles, joints, arteries, veins, brain & spinal cord is largely dependent on optimal flexibility of your fascia
  • There is NO medication that can improve your fascia
  • There is NO supplement that can optimize your fascia
  • Exercise alone does not optimally balance, align and improve your fascia
 

BENEFITS:

FST can be used for a myriad of benefits, that include eliminating pain, optimizing mobility, posture, body awareness and performance, restoring impaired function and improving recovery time. 
More benefits of FST include:
    •  Lengthens, re-aligns and re-organizes fascia to improve overall mobility

“Your fascia reacts to all stress – physical, mental and emotional – by tightening & stiffening. Since fascia covers everything from all of your organs to the circulatory system to the brain & nervous system to the musculoskeletal system and more, your whole body is at risk to react to stress by tightening & stiffening.
When your fascia is left unattended to, aging of the body, mind & spirit accelerates, function decreases & quality of life deteriorates”
~Ann & Chris Frederick: Creators of FST
SOME EFFECTS OF UNTREATED FASCIA:
  • Increased muscle tone can lead to trigger points, strain, tendonitis, tears & more
  • Decreased joint space can lead to degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis & more
  • Increased nervous tissue tone can lead to headaches, trigger points, muscle tightness & more
  • Increased scar tissue formation
  • Decreased circulation and energy levels
