Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) in Denver

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) in Denver is a cutting-edge, hands-on treatment designed to instantly improve flexibility, range of motion, and reduce pain. Unlike traditional stretching, FST works to open up entire movement chains and decompress your joints. Whether you’re a Denver athlete seeking a performance edge or an individual looking for lasting relief from daily stiffness, our certified therapists at Peak Active Care can help you move without restriction.

 
How FST Works: A Specialized Tune-Up
 
Fascial Stretch Therapy is performed by a certified therapist and focuses on the body's fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs.
​

• Assisted and Rhythmic: You lie comfortably on a treatment table, often secured with soft straps to stabilize parts of your body, allowing you to relax completely and achieve a deeper stretch.

• Traction and Movement: The therapist guides your body through painless, flowing movements and stretches in all directions, using gentle traction (a light pulling) to create space and decompress joints.

• Nervous System Focus: This core difference "tricks" your muscles and fascia into relaxing more deeply than you could achieve alone, allowing for a long-lasting release of tension in the joint capsules and connective tissues.
