Fascial Stretch Therapy
What is fascial stretch therapy?
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a pain-free assisted stretch system that assesses and improves flexibility and range of motion in the body.
It is ideal for those looking to improve tension associated with muscle and joint stiffness, increase range of motion for daily life or sports performance, and generally anyone who wants to move better.
At Axon Chiropractic and Rehab, FST is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist, Matt Purdy (RMT), and is covered by insurance plans under registered massage therapy services.
