Rehab Hero Fascial Stretch Therapy
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is the process of table-based assisted stretching which focuses on the muscles and fascia that surround, connect and encompass the joints.
Why Us?
At Rehab Hero Fascial Stretch Therapy or FST is provided by our highly qualified, trained, and experienced kinesiologists, physiotherapists, and massage therapists. This means that your fascial stretch therapy appointment will be covered by your extended health benefits and insurance.
Unlike your average personal trainer, our FST practitioners are also health care providers. This means they know how to use FST while navigating around your injuries.
Who benefits?
Fascial Stretch Therapy can help you if you're old, young, athletic, of average build, or anything in-between. FST aims to loosen up your tension in a safe, comfortable and pain-free way. It is a great compliment to training, other therapies, or as a standalone treatment to get you towards your health and fitness goals.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is a connective tissue that covers and connects your muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. It's due to these connections that your fascia can be making a large impact on your biomechanics and pain.
When "tight" it can cause:
- Uncomfortable muscle tension leading to trigger points, strains, tendinitis, and even tears
- Increased nervous system tension leading to headaches, radiating pain, and muscle tightness
- Decreased range of motion disrupting natural movement patterns leading to compensational overuse or injuries
