FST: ย Helps Reduce Stress and Pain, Improve ROM and Performance

Unlike most stretching protocols, (done by ourselves, or by professionals), FST focuses on specific principles to regulate the nervous system and aid the muscles, fascia, joints and nerves to return to a state of optimal function.
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: every stretch a therapist performs will be done with traction to create space in the joint to allow a greater ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป–๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ range of motion.
๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ต: FST is performed with great focus on moving with the breath to help bring the body back into a ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ state. This decreases stress and further helps the body relax out of tension. When the body feels safe, things relax.
๐ฃ๐ก๐: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, put into the simplest terms: this therapeutic technique targets the proprioceptors and the nervous system to reduce anxiety and overstimulation of specific muscles.
๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ: FST practitioners rely on dynamic, fluid motions and joint oscillations to allow the nervous system to find a place of safety so that the body can stop subconsciously (or consciously) guarding.
๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป–๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ: Aside from a few deep stretches, FST should always be completely pain free. I ensure my clients stay at, or below a 6/10 on the perceived pain scale, if you canโt breathe through a stretch, then we are only ramping up the nervous system. It isnโt possible for the body to feel safe to let go, while in a state of pain.
