Fascial Stretch Therapy FST is a unique system of table-based assisted stretching which focuses on the muscle and connective tissue that surround the joints. What makes this therapy different from other flexibility programs is that each stretch begins with a light traction of the joint being treated, to allow for a deeper stretch. This is an excellent treatment choice for those wanting to improve flexibility, recover from training and for injury prevention.
