Fascia Therapy Helps Restore Movement, Relieve Pain

Injuries, surgeries, repetitive motion, or inactivity can damage fascia, causing it to become tight, sticky, and painful. The good news? It can be released and restored through Fascia Stretch Therapy.

What is Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST)?

  • FST is a unique, hands-on system of assisted stretching designed to:
  • Release restrictions in fascia and muscles
  • Improve mobility, posture, and alignment
  • Reduce pain and stiffness
  • Calm the nervous system
  • Enhance performance and flexibility

Benefits of FST

  • Alleviates pain without harsh pressure
  • Increases athletic performance
  • Improves sleep and recovery
  • Supports autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
  • Identifies and corrects postural imbalances

How Fascia Stretch Therapy (FST) Works

FST is a gentle, assisted stretching method that targets the fascia—your body’s connective tissue system. It helps people by:

  • Reducing chronic pain and tension (especially in the hips, back, shoulders, and neck)
  • Increasing range of motion without forcing or stressing the joints
  • Improving posture and alignment, especially for those who sit or stand all day
  • Aiding recovery from injury or surgery by restoring balanced movement
  • Boosting circulation and relaxation, helping relieve stress and fatigue

How Pilates Helps

Together, FST and Pilates offer a holistic, non-invasive way to relieve pain and move with greater ease and confidence.

Pilates complements FST by building strength, stability, and control—especially in your core. It helps people by:

  • Supporting better posture and alignment, reducing strain on the body
  • Strengthening muscles evenly, which can prevent injury or re-injury
  • Improving balance, flexibility, and coordination
  • Helping with rehab, especially after back, hip, or knee issues
  • Creating body awareness, so you move more mindfully in daily life

After years of dealing with tightness and pain from an old surgery and a desk-bound lifestyle, I thought stiffness was just part of getting older. Then I found Laura. Her Fascia Stretch Therapy sessions have completely changed how I feel in my body.
