What is Fascial Stretch therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a hands-on assisted stretching technique where a certified therapist guides your body through smooth, flowing stretches while you lie comfortably (often using soft straps for added support and control). It’s kind of like yoga done for you!
It targets fascia, the web-like connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, joints, bones, and organs like a full-body suit. When this tissue tightens up from daily stress, poor posture, workouts, sitting too long, or past injuries, it can leave you feeling tight or achy in how you move.
Unlike regular self-stretching that focuses on one muscle at a time, FST uses dynamic movements in multiple directions. This includes gentle pulling (traction), and rhythmic wave-like motions to release deeper restrictions, all without any pain. It’s relaxing, customized to your body, and leaves you feeling looser and more balanced.
Benefits of Fascial stretch therapy
The benefits of chiropractic FST-focused treatment aren’t just short-term relief – they can help restore how your body moves day to day. At Catalyst Health, our team of chiropractic professionals will help reduce stiffness, improve joint function, and limit recurring pain. It’s a practical way to move with more mobility, less pain, and fewer interruptions to the activities you love.

WHO IS FASCIAL STRETCH FOR?
This is perfect for athletes looking to boost performance, people dealing with tightness from desk work, or anyone who wants to work on their mobility and move more freely in their everyday life without pushing through discomfort.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR FIRST FST SESSION
Your first appointment will begin with a health history, where we discuss any injuries, pain, limitations, or goals. We will then perform a physical assessment to determine the appropriate plan of care, ensuring your sessions are tailored to your unique needs. During the treatment, you’ll lie comfortably while gentle, guided stretches are applied in smooth, flowing movements, often supported by soft straps for added control. By the end of the session, you can expect to
feel looser, more balanced, and more mobile, with a sense of relaxation and improved ease in your movements.
Please wear comfortable, stretchy clothing so you can move freely during your session.
