After a FST session, you will feel extremely relaxed and much looser in your joints and muscles.
You will also likely have a very relaxing deep sleep the night after your session.
Some people experience soreness the next day after the session. It is completely normal and will dissipate within a day leaving you feeling relaxed and often with less pain and discomfort.
Post-FST Care:
Make sure you drink a lot of water for the rest of the day to help replenish your fascia and muscles with liquids.
It is recommended to take it easy after an FST session, although you are allowed to do mild activity if you would like.
-
You will often experience a significant reduction if not resolution in your pain within 1-3 FST sessions.
-
This is very dependent on your body, what pain you are experiencing, and what you also do on your own to keep movement and flexibility in your joints and body.
I usually recommend 1-2 times per week when you are experiencing acute pain or discomfort. Once your pain is resolved it is up to you to decide how many times per month you need to come in for maintenance. This is very dependent on what activities you participate in and what your own body care routine is. Some people feel best when they come in 1x per week, others prefer every other week and some 1x per month. We can discuss more during your first appointment if you are unsure what to do.

Unlike other types of bodywork or self-stretching that just work on the muscles, FST engages the whole myofascial system, by targeting muscles as well as the joints, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Tractioning joints is a huge part of making this therapy work. 50% of your mobility comes from your joint, which is something very difficult to release through stretching your own muscles and tissues. FST tractions the joint in the beginning of every stretch, so you are able to get 50% more mobility than you would on your own. That openness at the base of the stretch is then carried through to the tissues, all the way out to the end of your limb.
-
Fascia Stretch Therapy is not painful. It is based on creating a space in which the nervous system can down regulate allowing for greater releases in tension in the muscles and fascia. After, you will feel extremely relaxed and much looser in your joints and muscles.
-
FST isn't just for people experiencing acute pain. FST increases flexibility, which in itself can prevent injury from sports and physical activities. It is also effective in resolving postural imbalances, movement dysfunctions, muscles firing pattern dysfunctions and neural dysfunctions, which can lead to injury if not resolved. FST improves athletic performance and prevents injury caused by poor movement patterns.
