We Offer Fascial Stretch Therapy

Simply put, Fascial Stretch Therapy is table based assisted stretching that is done fully clothed. FST is pain free and improves mobility of your nerves and flexibility of your muscles and fascia (Fascia is the connective tissue system of the body that goes through and wraps around muscles, nerves, organs and just about everything else in your body!). It’s something you really need to experience to understand how amazing you’ll feel after. Carli is a Fascial Stretch Specialist, meaning she has completed the level 3 course for FST and continues to take updated courses regularly. Carli also offers discounts at Aduro Cross-fit gym in Woodstock, if you’re a member contact her to get yourself in!

FST affects more than just the tissues/fascia, it also helps to down regulate your nervous system and relax your body making it easier to stretch as well as sleep deeper and feel more of the parasympathetic benefits. Having your full body stretched and moved while taking slow deep breaths is good for all of the body systems not just your fascia. If you have any more questions about this, contact Carli. If you know someone who is tight primarily because of their inability to relax, this may be a technique that helps them significantly. It is also a great modality to have before a massage to make your tissues more pliable and easier to work with while reducing the discomfort massage can cause when you’re extra tense. 

The environment that you have your session in can make a big difference on the outcome. With Carli, she is in a comforting room with natural light and soft music, there is also a heated table for those colder days that you may need a little warmth to help you settle in. 

Some things you should know before your FST Stretch with That Stretch Girl

• wear comfortable loose clothing (no jeans or dresses please) bring shorts if needed
• please wear clean clothing as you will be in close contact with Carli and if you’re wearing what you wore to work, she will also be wearing that by the end of your treatment…
• make sure you are hydrated (drinking water throughout the day, not just right before your treatment)
• wear socks
• don’t wear lotions or oils before your appointment as it can make it slippery and not as effective
• did we mention being hydrated…. your fascia is made up mostly of water and if you are dehydrated not only will this not feel as good while being stretched but your body the next day will be tender. 

Change all this in 3 sessions or less:

• Pain – Often greatly reduced or eliminated
• Stress – Immediately & significantly reduced
• Sleep – Finally wake rested & refreshed
• Appearance – Better posture, look healthier & more confident
• Mobility – Greatly improved after just one session
• Weight – Better mobility, more effective training, stay motivated

Craniosacral Therapy

A gentle, non-invasive, effective treatment for numerous conditions. Just as the body has a cardiac rhythm and respiratory rhythm it also has a craniosacral rhythm, which can be felt throughout the body. It is by using this rhythm that a trained therapist can locate restrictions in the body.

The name craniosacral, refers to the head and sacral bone. They move together in such a way that the cerebrospinal fluid pumps throughout the spine and brain, feeding the brain and nerves. Restrictions in these areas can affect any area of the body.

This is a very gentle manual approach that works with the body’s natural rhythm and is therefore safe and effective. There is no ‘forcing’ of the tissue but rather a specific ‘hold’ that facilitates the release of the restriction.

This treatment works with all tissues of the body and all systems. It affects fascia, muscle, blood flow, cerebral spinal fluid flow, and has positive effects on the organs of the body. 

Craniosacral Therapy may help with the following: birth traumas and other perinatal challenges, infant latching and feeding difficulties, recurrent ear infections, facial asymmetries and eye motor problems, A.D.H.D, headaches, concussion and post concussion symptoms, tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo, TMJ syndrome, stress disorders and insomnia, muscle and joint pain or injury, neurological conditions and

pain syndromes (ex. fibromyalgia)

Treatments are done fully clothed therefore clients are required to wear comfortable clothing that they can move freely in (no denim, hoodies or belts). *Please remove all smart watches and silence phone(s) during this treatment
