What is stretch therapy?

Stretch therapy is an effective & efficient form of manual therapy that helps with a range of muscle & skeletal dysfunctions. Most of the stretch systems such as Dr Stretch, Fascial stretch therapy(fst), & Functional Stretch therapy(fst) uses stretching techniques & methods uniquely to their goal, however there is a single stretch system that allows for more complete assessments, & approach to your body(more below). Stretch therapy sessions are a one-to-one service, with you being on a treatment table to help with improved blood circulation in muscles, decrease pain, & improve flexibility.

If you have tight connective tissues that's causing frequent headaches, low back aches, you may want to find a centre that specialises in helping you release those tissues & stay in the normal ranges of motion, this is mainly due to mechanical overloading from posture or simply put your centre of gravity has changed & your body is trying to keep up the load as much as it could possibly do. Most times when pain arrives at the conclusion of an activity, it would always be an accumulation of compensation all these while doing the same things that you thought would be ok for you,most times doing daily activities. Allow your body to be more aligned & those pesky nagging knee, low back, & neck pain suddenly gets better. Read on how we can help by stretching your body the way it needs to be stretched out, & have a pain/ache-free life.

Functional Stretch Therapy(fst)

Unlike Dr stretch which can be found in many locations in Singapore, functional stretch therapy(at our sports medicine centre) uses a comprehensive musculoskeletal(muscles/ bones) assessment to take into account your current pain/complaints:

• Posture
• Alignment
• Flexibility
• Skeletal muscles

Most people(anyone) that are seeing other health providers in Singapore often come to us for an initial assessment to learn more about how they can better manage pain, or improve their posture. The common lower back pain, muscle soreness, injury prevention, chronic pain(movement with pain) can be fixed by knowing what & where your body is, & what you can do by yourself to have a pain-free range of motion. The functional stretch therapist uses a cutting-edge neuromuscular technique that benefits people by allowing a deeper yet gentler approach to stretching to help improve with each subsequent session. There are only a handful of functional stretch therapists in Singapore & cannot be found in any other locations as it's exclusively at MSMC for now.
