Fascial Stretch Therapy In River North, Chicago
Hi I'm Mash certified FST
My thoughts for you is to have you focus on your breath, relax, and let FST do the work for you.
Have you noticed that as you age you get shorter?
The same compression that causes your shrinking stature can also cause sporadic pain
and serious chronic conditions.
In search of practices to find ways to avoid such chronic conditions, I stumbled across Fascial Stretch Therapy. I finally found an FST practitioner in Chicago and the moment I stepped off the stretch table, I immediately knew that FST is the holistic path for my body
Fascial Stretch Therapy is a table-based assisted stretching technique that balances built-up tension within the body.
It's an effective healing and restorative method that promotes joint health, longevity, lymphatic circulation, joint alignment
range of motion ("gains without pain") and much more.
As I decompress the main joints of your body, starting with your hips and moving to your shoulders, your fascial nets stretch and you become more flexible.
Our session will flow from one relaxing movement to another while elongating and conditioning your joints, and relaxing your nervous system.

A Quick Description of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)
We're not isolating your muscles, we focus on your connective tissue called "fascia" which think of it like plastic wrap for your muscles and it connects to all of your anatomy under your skin. This "saran wrap" also communicates with everything, like your computer, that conducts movement and physiology of your body. FST is used to work with the whole myofascial system to help your recover faster.
What Our Stretch Massage Therapists Can Do
We work the lateral chain of muscles and fascia that includes the superficial and deep fascia: we stretch the neck muscles for office workers, rib muscles for deep breathing athletes, or core plus hip muscles for running and golf athletes.
We focus commonly with your leg length discrepancy which simply means a shorter leg. If you experience imbalances from one leg to the other we could help correct this.
