Frequently Asked Questions
What is FST?
FST™. Unlike traditional stretching that attempts to isolate and stretch specific muscles, Fascial Stretch Therapy™ stretches both fascia and muscle creating a permanent change in the tissue which you can feel immediately and with each session feel longer lasting results. FST is one of the quickest, most effective and pleasant methods to eliminate pain, restore function, move & feel better in activities of life, fitness and sports!
Is FST physical therapy?
No. While FST can seem similar to what you may have experienced with a Physical Therapist this technique is not a medical service. Your provider is highly trained in this particular assisted stretching modality but is NOT a doctor and CANNOT treat a client medically.
Often times additional stretching and professional stretching can be suggested by your PT... this is not a medical service and is not covered by insurance.

Is fst covered by my insurance?
No. The service provided by Caitlin at The Stretch Solution is not a covered benefit nor is it treatment for any diagnosis.
Who can benefit from assisted stretching and fst?
Everyone! There are many ways to individualize sessions for clients of all ages and physical capabilities. It is ALWAYS recommended to check with your physician prior to your appointment especially if you have pre-existing injuries, are currently being treated by a physician or physical therapist, are pregnant or have physical limitations that would make being on a massage table uncomfortable.

How often should I have fst/assisted stretching sessions done?
Everyone's circumstances are different. I would suggest booking a consultation visit. An evaluation will help us determine your goals and how we should approach a stretching plan.
Most people will experience a difference in just 1-3 visits then subscribe to the monthly plan for maintenance.
