And she could totally feel how her body was inhibited by this area of tightness.

There are four different layers of fascia in your body: superficial, deep, visceral and parietal. Superficial fasciaAs with any kind of therapy, it’s important to be prepared for what to expect in a fascial stretch therapy session. First: make sure you leave the “no pain, no gain” mentality behind you. FST is not supposed to hurt. “Many people expect to feel pain and don’t feel they’re getting their money’s worth if the treatment doesn’t hurt. Not true! FST is pain-free and uses gentle movements and stretches to improve mobility and flexibility,” Woodruff says. Fascial stretch therapy is another type of manual therapy that focuses on the fascial tissues. Fascial stretch therapists don’t apply pressure to certain areas of your body. Instead, they manually move part of your body (such as your arms or legs) to stretch your fascial tissues. Where can I find a myofascial release therapist near me? Heat therapy: Place a heating pad over a painful trigger point, or try taking a hot bath or shower to loosen any tight knots.

This stretch helps compensate for long periods of sitting. It can loosen up and lengthen your hip flexors, which helps to improve posture and alleviate pain. Stand sideways to a rig or post and cross your right leg behind your left, feet flat on the floor. Hold the pole at shoulder height with your left hand, then stretch to the side and reach your right arm overhead to grasp the pole above your head. Shoe inserts provide the arch of the foot with additional support. Inserts limit stress on the plantar fascia and may be especially helpful for people who spend much of the day on their feet. Soft, supportive arch inserts can work as well.Grip the rig with your left hand and shift your weight forward over your left foot, keeping your right leg straight and foot flat on the floor. Reach your right arm behind you and open your shoulder to the right to feel this stretch in your calf, inner thigh, hamstrings, abdominals, chest, shoulders and forearm.

Likewise, a small study of 14 healthy, active participants presented at a 2018 conference from The Royal College of Surgeons Ireland Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine found that fascial stretch therapy appeared to contribute to improvements in strength, power, range of motion, and proprioception in an athletic population.

While all of the exercises above also affect the fascia, all of these exercises listed below are even more fascia specific: Pillar 1: Start. The start position is key, because you start with the muscle in its shortest possible position based on the leverage you have in the stretch. For example, to stretch the front of your hip, you start with your leg bent into your torso so that the muscles in the front of your hip are contracted as much as possible before you begin to stretch them out. If you’re experiencing painful trigger points caused by tightened fascia, there are several therapies and treatments you can try. These may include:Stretch frequently: Stretching makes your fascia more flexible. This can help lessen pain and inflammation. If you’re thinking, “Well I can stretch on my own, or go to a stretching class… why would I need a certified therapist for that?” This type of assisted stretching isn’t the same as bending down to touch your toes or having a trainer lift your leg as you’re lying down to help you stretch your hamstring. For one thing, fascia stretching takes a more full-body approach.
