What Is FST?

FST stands for Fascia Stretch Therapy. It is primarily a table based, clothes on, assisted stretching practice that uses assessments and an “in the moment” approach as opposed to a set routine/sequence.

My work focuses on restoring balance in the body’s connective tissue system—the fascia—by identifying and addressing areas that may be too tight or too loose. We understand how the nervous system plays a role in holding and releasing tension and tightness.

This method is gentle, pain-free, and subtle, yet it yields deep, long-lasting results. Originally developed for collegiate and professional athletes, it’s now adapted to benefit anyone looking to improve mobility, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery.

FST assisted stretching supports fitness, flexibility, and overall well-being, and integrates beautifully with other modalities like physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, yoga, Pilates, and personal training.

Clients often report feeling looser, lighter, more relaxed and open, with improvements in range of motion, mood, sleep, and even objective recovery metrics like HRV and morning readiness scores.

With my background as a longtime personal trainer and martial arts coach, I also believe in empowering clients with movement, and may include targeted strength or stretch exercises to support your gains when appropriate.

“It’s very relaxing. Most types of stretches are very conventional… you have to hold (the stretch) for long periods of time. This is much lighter, plus it’s assisted so you’re active in contracting muscles. However, Jeff is very good at getting the right angles to get the most out of the stretch.”

“I suffer from a lot of tightness in my side back and hips. Fascia Stretch Therapy helps move the body around and open up your range of motion. It’s really gentle and really relaxing.”

“After the session was complete, Jeff showed me some photos on how I looked before the session and how I looked after. The changes were pretty dramatic and I’d say it’s pretty good for the body.”

“It’s been a really great way of gently stretching and rehabbing the different injury areas that I have in my body. I think what is special about working with Jeff and doing this is that it is somewhere between a mix of body work, strength, and flexibility training.”
