Tight fascia could be responsible for painful movement, increased muscle tightness, strains, tendon injuries. Those that are heavily involved in strength training and are constantly tightening up your muscles and they become stiff, your ability to stretch then contract the muscle is limited. Many muscles stay tight and in a contracted position even while at rest. When this occurs, it limits blood supply to the tissue, which decreases recovery time.

FST can reduce muscle-fascia adhesions, relieve muscle soreness, and flush the lymphatic system. It also increases blood flow which helps speed up recovery time. Athletes in fascial stretch programs have been found to recover more quickly between training sessions and improve active range of motion compared to other stretching methods.

Healthy fascia is fast and reactive and supports the need to move quickly. Improving range of motion and elasticity can maintain stride length and you will be better able to absorb impact.

Fascial stretch therapy can help treat several conditions such as disc herniation, facet joint dysfunctions, chronic headaches, plantar and pinched nerves. Many benefit from this technique, restoring, improving and maintaining mobility as well as general well-being.
