FST is a unique system of assisted stretching that targets fascia and joints. Certified therapists use movement through a series of stretches to unlock tension in the deepest layers of tissues. The aim is to unravel restrictions in the fascia, relax the hold the nervous system has on the tissue, and open up the joint space by stretching the fascia throughout the body.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
FST™ is an assisted stretching system that targets fascia and joints, using guided movement to relieve deep tissue tension and improve overall mobility.
Fascial Stretch Therapy
Created in 1966 by Ann Frederick, FST™ was developed to address mobility issues in professional athletes. By focusing on the body as a whole—targeting connected lines of fascia rather than individual muscles—and using traction, oscillation, and circumduction, she achieved greater results. Partnering with her husband and physical therapist, Chris Frederick, the system evolved to help people reduce pain and improve range of motion.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do Fascia Adhesions Occur?
Fascia adhesions tend to occur at these congested areas after injury, surgery, inflammation, repetitive movement, or even after lack of movement (ex. sedentary lifestyle, injury recovery, poor posture).
What to Expect?
Patients should arrive at their appointment in stretchy comfortable clothing such as tights, shorts, sweatpants, t-shirt or tank top.
The initial assessment involves gathering information about your injury history including posture, pain, quality of movement, and quality of sleep. You will be asked to participate in some muscle contractions but your main job is to RELAX and BREATHE!
Maybe you’re hesitant to move that stiff, old injured shoulder? Well there’s no need to worry. This is a pain free treatment. The FST™ system works with ‘finesse not force’. During treatment, the therapist is “romancing” the nervous system to relax. Relaxed tissues and a relaxed patient allows the therapist to open range deep within the joint.
You may feel improvements in mobility after one 60 or 90 min session. However, at least 3 sessions are recommended to get the best, lasting results from your FST treatment. Regular maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed thereafter.
