What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?

​

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a system of assisted stretching which focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissue, such as fascia. Essentially, it's professional stretching at its finest! We use an amazing combination of modernized scientific techniques to give you the best stretching experience you could ever imagine. It’s easy, relaxing, and certainly doesn’t hurt. We stretch your whole body by focusing on tight areas like your hips, glutes, thighs, shoulders, chest, calves, back, and everything else!

​

You’ve probably had a massage before, most likely experienced acupuncture, and have probably been to a chiropractor. But have you ever been to a Fascial Stretch Therapist and had your entire body stretched out? We promise, it’s as amazing as it sounds! 

 

We’re told all the time that we need to stretch more but do we actually do it? Heck no! Fortunately for you though, that’s what we’re here for! We do all the work for you and ensure you leave feeling more relaxed and looser than when you came in. We not only do what you don’t have time for and don’t want to do, we do it in ways you could never logistically do on your own. 

 

Fascial Stretch Therapy is all about making you feel better and move better as soon as possible. Your biggest job during our session is simply to relax! Fascial Stretch Therapy is not just for athletes, although a ton of professional athletes receive regular treatments around the world. Most of our clients actually fall into the "really stiff" 45-70 year-old range. Beyond that though, we stretch people of all ages, body types, and capabilities. One of the beautiful things about FST is that almost everyone can benefit from a session! And to further accommodate particular preferences, here in State College we have both a male (Tyler) and female (Libby) practitioner.

 

During each session, you simply lay on our treatment table fully clothed with shoes off, complimented with some great conversation and cheesy jokes. We move each leg or arm around very slowly and carefully and we only go through each stretch according to your body's comfort and resistance levels. We’ve had many clients come into their first appointment nervous or unsure about what they signed up for, with this being a newer style of treatment, expecting us to bend them like a pretzel. Much to their surprise though, every single client has quickly discovered that each stretch session is perfectly individualized and is incredibly relaxing, easy, and super impactful.

 

We understand that life is crazy busy and we don't always have time for stretching. That’s where we come in! We’re here to help you relax, do the stretching for you, and make you feel like your old self.
