Why FST?
Stretch to Win® Fascial Stretch Therapy™ or simply called FST™, is a hands-on complete, full body assisted stretching method based on science. By focusing on fascia – the connective tissue system – instead of just muscles or joints, FST gives faster and more complete results. FST is the leading method of assisted stretch therapy focusing on moving through the body’s most capable range of motion. FST can be used alone as well as integrated with other effective techniques to successfully manage stress, nervous tension, PTSD, addiction and many psychological disorders for complete wellness recovery and maintenance. FST is now being provided internationally at facilities in the medical, health, sports and fitness industries.
