Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)
Table-based assisted stretching that works where foam rolling and static stretching can't reach — directly on the fascia and joint capsules. Effective for chronic tightness, athletic performance, and injury recovery. No pain. No guessing. Just real, measurable change in how your body moves.
Fascial Stretch Therapy at PRE Therapy
Most people who come in for Fascial Stretch Therapy have already tried everything — foam rolling, yoga, regular massage. They're still tight, still restricted, still aching in the same places. Fascial Stretch Therapy goes deeper because it targets the fascial network and joint capsules directly — structures that traditional massage and stretching rarely reach. The result is a different kind of release: fuller range of motion, less chronic tightness, and a body that feels like it belongs to you again.
Fascial Stretch Therapy is a pain-free comprehensive system of table-based assisted stretching, focusing on the fascia and the joint capsule for achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance, and pain relief. At PRE therapy, we use a 3-phase approach to therapy: Pain Management, Restoration, Evolution. This approach helps us identify what pain or instability needs to be worked on right now, while providing you with a long-term solution for staying healthy and active. Your initial session includes a full body assessment and personalized plan, followed by your 1-on-1 treatment.
Benefits of Fascial Stretch Therapy
FST works well for: Chronic back, hip, and shoulder tightness / Limited flexibility affecting training or daily movement / Athletic performance and recovery / Post-injury rehabilitation / Tension that keeps returning despite regular massage FST can also support: Stress-related physical tension / Nervous system regulation / Patients managing physical disabilities or chronic conditions — speak with your therapist about whether FST is appropriate for your situation.

Frequently asked questions
What is fascial stretch therapy (FST)?
Fascial Stretch Therapy is a pain-free complementary system of table-based assisted stretching, focusing on the fascia and the joint capsule for achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance, and pain relief.
What are fascia and joint capsules?
Fascia is a network of layered connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, nerves, bones, organs, and joints. A joint capsule is also a connective tissue structure that surrounds joints and is involved in optimizing the mechanical function of the joint, as well as giving it nutrients.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable athletics clothes that allow you to move freely are preferred in case your therapist provides you with some mobility exercises to help your overall body function.
Do you offer direct billing?
FST sessions are billed as Registered Massage Therapy or Kinesiology depending on your therapist's designation. Most extended health benefit plans that cover RMT or Kinesiology will cover FST. Bring your benefits card and we'll direct bill on your behalf. Confirm your specific coverage with your provider before your first visit.
