The stretch to win methodology provides practitioners with new tools and formidable resources to the world of flexibility. It provides clients with a results-based flexibility experience that improves tissue quality, mobility, and ultimately strength.
Why Fascial Stretch Therapy?
Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, bones, and other structural components in the body. Since fascia is present in layers throughout your body, fascial stretch therapy focuses on the idea of improving global flexibility versus isolating muscles to improve flexibility.
Benefits of Fascial Stretch Therapy
- Stretching the fascia, instead of just the muscle is extremely effective in improving flexibility and mobility throughout the body.
- Improves your range of motion without causing pain
- Tunes your nervous system in preparation for activity
- Incorporates PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), which makes great gains in range of motion in a short time period
- Can be adjusted to fit your specific goals and activities
