WHAT IS FASCIA?

Fascia is a multi-layered matrix of connective tissue that in a sense “holds” everything in place by weaving, intertwining and wrapping other tissues, tendons, ligaments and even our skeleton (bones) together. In this sense - everything from the surface of our skin to our bones, and internal organs are all connected and not one thing operates on its own and there is nothing that happens to one part of the body that doesn’t impact the body as whole.

Fascia is pound for pound stronger than steel, yet can be fluid (water like) in its response to stimuli. Fascia can also be hardened and become tight - (think scar tissue) - and can deform and pull on other structures causing tissue to bind up. It has “tensegrity” - it pulls and pushes and flexes and forms and deforms on itself based on what the stressors or demands are that are placed on the systems trying to maintain optimal posture, flexibility, stability and function.

Tired & Disappointed of searching for a stretch session and not getting results??

Here at Active Stretch Therapy, I have achieved the highest training with over 140 hours of HANDS ON training with the Stretch to Win Institute. I also have over 30 years experience as a massage therapist and extensive background in physical therapy, anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, movement disorders and corrective exercise. When you search online for fascial stretch therapy near me, be sure to look for stretch therapists that are trained in what is called FST or Fascial Stretch Therapy. The Stretch to Win institute is the gold standard when it comes to assisted stretching training and their reputation far exceeds that of franchise chains with inferior training programs.

We’d love the chance to work with you and help you with your health and fitness goals by keeping you mobile, more flexible and at the top of your game by maintaining your competitive edge.

Who Is Stretch Therapy For?

Fascia Stretch Therapy is for EVERYONE and it is designed to be PAIN FREE!

MYOSKELETAL

ALIGNMENT

TECHNIQUE (MAT)

MAT® is type of bodywork that blends principles of Structural Integration and Osteopathy to relieve pain before it becomes chronic and debilitating. I am a Master Myoskeletal Therapist through Erik Dalton.

The basic idea of MAT® or Myoskeletal Alignment Technique, is that most pain is caused by fundamental problems with the muscle-skeletal system - meaning how our body is aligned and how it moves. BOTH systems suffer due to improper functional mobility causing associated symptoms of pain, tightness, stiffness and compensation patterns that lead to potential endless cycles of pain.

The idea is to use the fascia of the body - because it’s EVERYWHERE! - and restore muscles to their proper use by either lengthening strained areas or encouraging and facilitating weaker under-used muscles for normalizing their use there by restoring proper musculoskeletal alignment and lessening aches, pain and breaking the pain cycle.

I integrate MAT® into my Assisted Fascial Stretch and Massage Therapy sessions as I find it complementary to treating the root of pain and getting faster results for my clients.

As with all bodywork, we see long term results with consistency of sessions AND with consistency of self care programs that are followed up at home.
