Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy ™
Fascial Stretch Therapy helps patients by assisting stretching, primarily focusing on the fascia and joint capsule in order to obtain desirable flexibility, performance, and pain-relief.
Fascia is the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, joints, and bones. A joint capsule is also made of connective tissue surrounding your joints and helps enhance the mechanical aspect of a joint as well as providing nutrients. When these are both constrained, it can lead to:
- Less joint space which may cause osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases
- More scar tissue forming
- Lower blood flow and energy levels
- Increasing nervous tissue tone contributing to headaches, muscle tightness, and trigger points
- Increasing muscle tone contributing to strains, trigger points, tears, and tendonitis
When these are both unrestricted, it can cause:
- Better posture
- More agility/flexibility
- Lower risk of injuries
- Increased strength
- Less muscle soreness
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Endorphins release (body’s pain suppressant)
- Less stress
- Anti-aging
