Massage therapy is an encompassing term for a variety of therapeutic techniques, but most people only associate massage therapy with relaxation; in fact, the “therapy” component of massage therapy can completely transform a person’s life, especially if they use it regularly to maintain their health and wellness. FST, short for fascial stretch therapy, is a massage therapy practice that is used by both pro athletes and winter sports enthusiasts alike. Rather than focusing solely on those apparent tight muscles that we know need a good stretch, FST makes sure to also pay attention to fascia – a fibrous connective tissue that wraps around bones, muscles, ligaments, organs, tendons, nerves, and a whole lot more for added support.
