Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have Covid-19 protocols in place?

Yes. I adhere to state mandated protocols. 

The room and table will be sanitized prior to a session. 

There will be adequate time, before your session, to ventilate the room.

In addition to ventilating, I have a room air purifier/sanitizer running.  

Upon arrival, both client and I will use hand sanitizer. 

I will be in fresh clothing. 

Mask wearing is optional.

What should I expect during an FST session?

  First sessions involve an intake interview to determine areas of focus or avoidance. This helps the practitioner decide how to best proceed in order to achieve best individual results.  Subsequent sessions will begin with updates to the initial intake.  As far as the session itself, the stretching is performed on a table and involves traction and rotation of joints. As well as contraction and relaxation of muscle groups. There is much attention to breathing. 

The practitioner will guide you with breathing during a session.

Is FST painful?

 FST is a very gentle form of assisted stretching. 

The techniques targets fascial tissue and not muscles. 

The most you should feel during a session is minor "stretch awareness".

The goal is a pain free experience.

How will I feel after FST?

After an FST session, you will feel relaxed and comfortable.  And will notice some increased mobility/range of motion almost immediately.

 Often clients indicate a feeling of overall lightness. 

How to I prepare for a session?

There really isn’t any preparation aside from appropriate attire (per question below) and it’s recommended you are hydrated. So plenty of water.

What should I wear?

Loose comfortable clothing. The same apparel you would wear to the gym or any type of fitness class. Jewelry should be removed (rings are fine)

Why is FST different than stretching I do on my own?

50% of your mobility is in your joints. Tractioning joints is the key of making FST work. , which is something not easily achieved with stretching your own muscles and tissues.  Because FST tractions the joint in the beginning of every stretch, you are able to get 50% more mobility than you would on your own. 

Is FST the same as Myofascial Release?

No. They are two completely different techniques. FST attends to the entire fascia connective tissue system. Where Myofascial Release targets specific muscles and often involves pressure applied to those specific areas. 

The pressure can sometimes cause discomfort. 

Just to re-iterate, FST is pain free

Where do you provide your services?

I divide my time between Cape Cod (Lower & Outer Cape) 

and Central, MA (Worcester area communities)

I have a location in Dudley, MA as well as Eastham on Cape Cod.

This sounds awesome. How to I get a session?

Easy… Just contact me 😊

Not STretching At This Time

Unfortunately, due to some physical limitations, I am not able to provide service at this time. 

Once I finally get a new hip and am back to normal, I can begin providing service again.  My Apologies!
