Fascia Stretch Therapy

At Total Balance Massage & Wellness, our Fascia Stretch Therapist draws from the proven techniques of the Stretch to Win Institute. FST is a unique, pain-free, assisted stretch system that works with your body’s natural connective tissue (the fascia) and joint capsules to restore flexibility, mobility, balance, and overall physical freedom.

​

What is Fascia & Why It Matters

Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that envelops and links every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ. When fascia becomes tight or restricted due to injury, immobility, stress, or lifestyle factors, it can cause pain, limited range of motion, stiffness, and reduced joint space, limiting how well you move, feel, and perform. 

​

FST doesn’t just stretch isolated muscles. Rather than static stretches that target a single muscle, our approach addresses entire fascial networks, promoting deeper, more holistic change.

Benefits Clients Often Experience

  • Improved flexibility and range of motion, even in areas that felt “stuck.”

  • Reduced pain, stiffness, and muscle/joint tension, especially helpful for chronically tight hips, shoulders, or low back. 

  • Enhanced posture, alignment, and body awareness by releasing fascial restrictions that distort posture or limit joint mobility. 

  • Better movement quality, coordination, and athletic performance, especially for active clients, athletes, or those recovering from training or repetitive stress. 

  • A deeper sense of relaxation, stress reduction, and overall wellness. Many clients mention feeling “lighter,” more mobile, and more connected to their body after FST.

Who Benefits from FST

  • People with chronic tightness or areas that don’t respond to traditional stretching or massage

  • Athletes, lifters, runners, or active folks who want to improve mobility and performance

  • Clients recovering from overuse injuries or looking to maintain healthy joints and soft tissues

  • Desk workers, parents, or anyone with posture/mobility limitations due to sedentary lifestyle or repetitive movement patterns

  • Anyone who wants a holistic approach to movement, flexibility, and long-term physical wellness

What Happens in a Session

  • You remain clothed in comfortable, flexible clothing.

  • A qualified, trained therapist guides you through a series of gentle, assisted stretches — using slow, controlled, multidirectional movements (traction, rocking, rotation) to “unwind” the fascia. 

  • The therapist tailors the session to your body’s unique needs: joint restrictions, posture, mobility limitations, or pain complaints.

  • No forced “pushing through pain,” FST is designed to be gentle and comfortable, with open communication throughout to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How We Do It at Total Balance

  • Certified, trained therapists using FST methodology

  • Sessions customized to your body’s needs, not a “one-size-fits-all” stretch routine

  • Option to combine FST with other services: massage, compression therapy, sauna, etc., for enhanced results

  • Clear communication and feedback to ensure comfort, safety, and best results
