Best Stretch Therapy in Singapore

Best Stretch Therapy in Singapore

fascial stretch therapy fst
People oftentimes associate stretches with active range of motion, & doing it yourself, but have you heard of stretch therapy where you have the benefits of improving blood flow, performance, better posture, manage or treat pain, by stretching your whole body with a stretch therapist?

What is a stretch therapist?

muscles stretching
A functional Stretch therapist is someone who has gone through 7-8 weeks of training to learn how to improve :
  • Client's posture
  • Flexibility
  • Joint range of motion
  • Relaxation
  • Scar tissue
  • Blood flow
  • Connective tissues'(fascia) elasticity
During a stretch session, the therapist will constantly assess & stretch your body using orthopaedic techniques to see where your body has the most amount of stress, imbalances, & how your nervous system is. Services such as fascial stretch therapy, & functional stretch therapy(fst) have similar yet distinctive approaches in assessments as part of their training . The functional stretch therapist(fst) however, always keep in mind to work with your nervous system which benefits to allow deeper stretches to happen while moving your body around, increasing joint mobility, & fascia(connective tissue). Functional stretch therapy is mostly done on the massage table as the therapist can move around your body easily stretching the specific body parts

Can i do stretching on my own?

body stretching
Yes of course you can! If you have enough diligence & knowledge on stretching effectively without causing any injury to the muscles or your body, then that is something you can consider. Many people however find it easier to let the stretching professionals(like us) help different level of flexibility, manage or decrease pain, in the form of stretch therapy(just to name a few). Results from many of our clients after the stretch therapy session says it all with ease of joint motion, & muscles that allow more stretch & opening of the posture(bones more aligned). Stretching is easy, but when you have pain such as lower back pain, knee pain, hip, or spine/neck muscles just to name a few, you need a stretching specialist(fst) to help you stretch safely, & effectively.

Is Stretch Therapy Effective?

way many muscles stretching
As Functional Stretch Therapy(fst) uses a combination of connective tissue stretching techniques to improve not only the flexibility of the muscles & fascia around a problem area, the techniques employed would even have your organs go through stretches, joint mobility(improves performance), flexibility in muscles, & improving flow to the blood vessels. Stretching has been a part of sports medicine due to athletes having some form of sports injury, & to help with enhancement of sporting activity.
Not only is functional stretch therapy good for an athlete, but also for the office worker, in fact, those who are sedentary or have postures that restrict movements/ flexibility would benefit more people stretching the fascia/body to avoid injury, manage/decrease pain. This is done by improving the flow of blood to the blood vessels, & hydration of the fascia during & after the stretch session.

What are the 3 types of stretching?

​Different level of activity needs a specific type of stretching technique before, during & after, but generally, if your goal is to avoid injuries, you want to do more dynamic stretches compared to static as it prepares your soft tissues & improve flexibility or stretch on the muscles to absorb & dissipate impact on the tendon & bones, to the muscles. Thirdly, ballistic stretches are usually used only with extreme caution as they may cause you to experience injury if not done under professional instructions. 

What are the 5 benefits of Functional Stretch therapy(fst)?

Functional stretch therapy(fst) has such a long list of benefits that it was hard for us to choose the top 5 reasons to try get your muscles stretched by a therapist:
  1. Improved overall flow of blood
  2. Improved fascia hydration
  3. Improved elasticity in muscles
  4. Decrease injury
