Functional Stretch Therapist in Kembangan | Singapore

If you're looking for pain relief from chronic pain that is limiting your range of motion, & a long term solution for preventing any problem areas to ever come back again, you want to work with someone that understands the working body & its diverse range of symptoms that may confuse even other health professionals in the same industry.

Is Functional Stretch Therapy same as doing strengthening exercises?

Far from it, we often times are taught to look at the whole body as a unit, or so to speak a whole being, which encompasses a whole host of systems & sub systems such as the lymphatic system, nervous system, muscular, & so on. We work closely with the nervous system of a client by feeling tension locally or globally, just by touching. We then apply certain techniques to help improve the neurological firing sequences as the body always goes through compensations but people also miss the fact that the nervous system is also being "adjusted". Strength training solely dedicates most of the times physically or more for aesthetic rather than the aspect of a Functional stretch therapist which helps cover a range of systems as mentioned above.

Benefits of F.S.T stretching sessions

When working with a qualified Functional Stretch Therapist, you will have your joint mobility improve by deep joint capsule stretches which facilitates deeper myofascial release on connective tissues, decrease pain from either muscle soreness or injury, & prevents further injuries. Since most of the sessions for F.S.T is done with breathing techniques that helps the nervous system & decrease any discomfort in joints. This helps those who are going through rehabilitation to know that stretching sessions with a qualified F.S.T practitioner like me can help you recover faster, improve joint mobility, stronger tendons & muscles, & ultimately work towards a pain free body!
For those seeking performance(eg sports specific-aesthetics), i custom each stretching session to improve your range of motion for a better posture through movements which aids athletic performance, stay away from sports injuries(eg shoulder pain, lower back pain etc), & improve blood flow to recover faster from athletic activities.

Is sports massage similar to Functional stretch therapy?

Sports massage therapists are taught to apply more compression to the soft tissues, on the other hand, we are taught to work on the brain to allow a decompression of the joints during any session before even working on the muscles. We ar more concerned about movement & being pain free thus our sessions are totally on the other spectrum of approach. You will always be fully clothed & during stretch therapy session, we hardly use compression on your body. Functional stretch therapy also targets the deep tendons & ligaments to help with posture, pain or movement dysfunction(s). Stretches/ techniques are as well gentle with most clients saying that it makes them relax into the session quickly(which i like as it allows me to do my thing). During some of the session exercises can be incorporated to help with treatment/therapy session.

How often should you do stretch therapy?

Highly recommended that professional athletes seek for regular sessions at least 3-4 times weekly to help with constant growth with athletic performance, recovery of injury, injury prevention, muscle soreness & most importantly better posture as all sports & lifestyle has different demands on the body. For those who wants to improve posture, stretching can help with the elasticity of your muscle which is a gentle technique.
