Perfect Balance Pilates, Penticton, BC - Physiotherapist, Pilates based Physiotherapy

Our Certified Flexibility Therapist™ offers a unique system of therapy & training that dramatically improves flexibility by lengthening fascia. Fascial Stretch Therapy™ is a scientifically proven method of pain-free, assisted stretching that not only focuses on lengthening muscle, but incorporates neurological training as well as opening of the joint capsule and by working the body in a series of rotational spirals and diagonals, mirroring the way muscles naturally attach in the body.

Fascia is the connective tissue that permeates all structures of the human body including muscles, bones, organs, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Fascia is a three-dimensional web of tissue that extends from head to toe, front to back. Fascia will distort, twist and tighten when any of these tissues are under stress from age, trauma, poor posture, lack of exercise, injury, surgery, disease or over-training.

Unlike traditional stretching FST™ incorporates multiple angles and multiple plains of movement that cannot be achieved by traditional static stretching. This technique can be used by anyone from young athletes wanting to improve their performance, to retired golfers wanting to enjoy their game rather than focus on sore, stiff muscles. FST™ also has proven anti-aging benefits ~ one of the side effects of aging is tight fascia and muscles, joint compression and generalized stiffness. This method of stretching can remove that stiffness and restore the body to that youthful feeling!

While many therapies can help these conditions, only FST™ can completely treat inflexible fascia at the deepest level - the joint capsule. After helping to make all of your layers of fascia become more pliable & hydrated, joint range of motion, muscle strength & flexibility immediately improves making it easier for you to train & maintain.
