What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?

Advanced Integrated Bodywork offers you fascial stretch therapy, an assisted stretching routine developed originally for professional athletes.

Fascial Stretch Therapy in application is table-based assisted extension that manipulates how your body is capable of stretching. Instead of stretching isolated muscles, one by one, these movements stretch the fascia in a more globalized way while targeting multiple fascia lines at the same time.

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones and joints. Fascia stretch therapy also targets the entire joint capsule and does not force your body to do what it doesn't want to.

The Difference Between Fascial Stretch and
Regular Stretching Therapy

The differentiating factor with fascial stretch therapy that separates it from traditional stretching is the use of traction, which is essentially creating space in a joint capsule (i.e. your hip joint). This allows synovial fluid to flow and help with the way the joint moves. Joints become compressed over time, which unfortunately impedes muscle function by forcing the muscle to overcompensate, thus creating strain. Studies have shown that pain significantly decreases after just a few sessions. I am a level 2 provider of this technique. Fascial stretch therapy as well as all of our techniques are customized to your body's needs.
