Fascial Stretch
This isn’t the stretching you did in Grade School. The fascial stretch approach can produce almost instant results alleviating pain and increasing mobility / range of motion.
This modality focuses on the fascia (lining of muscle and other tissue) and joint capsule to gently but effectively increase mobility, improve posture, relax tension, and improve circulation with little-to-no pain involved.Synchronized breathing is key to this slow paced methodical work. The practitioner really strives to take the time to “listen” to what the fascia is telling them and respond appropriately to encourage the body to heal.
Common Users
Alleviate chronic pain including back pain, sciatica, pinched nerves, posture issues, uneven hips/legs, poor circulation
Athletes: from professionals to weekend warriors to occasional trailblazers and or just everyday gym goers
Complementing physical therapy, massage and injury rehab and or chiropractic for added results
What to Expect:
Generally table based, face up and fully clothed, comfortable yet snug / secure straps stabilize the opposing limb from the current focus allowing for deeper, more meaningful and engaging stretch work. Sessions can last anywhere from 15 Min to 90 min depending on focus and need.
You may feel near instant results and / or release, though it can take time and more than one session to peel away layers of tension / tightness from years of progressive stressors and postural issues and begin to feel lasting improvements.
There is never a moment pain is involved or encouraged so constant communication throughout the session should be expected. This type of recovery work is much more engaging and interactive than massage work.

I came in to see Sidney about a stretching session because I had been dealing with some leg fatigue and hip tightness. He quickly got me setup with an appointment. The session went extremely well.
Afterwards my legs felt refreshed and the tightness in my hips were minimal. I was able to workout pain free the following week, while also completing a Spartan race 7 days later. I believe the sessions will help my recovery time post workout. Highly recommend setting up and appointment with Sidney.

I made an appointment for the FTS stretching with Sidney. I had given it a try before and it was really amazing. Recently I got a surgery and after being on crutches for 2 months, I was limping, and my hips and glutes were very tight. When I bent down, my hips were completely uneven and was causing me to walk unevenly. I wasnt sure if the stretching would help but figured I would try since I was having so much discomfort and back pain.
After one session, I had so much relief and felt like I was even and walking straight again! The pinching in my low back went away, my legs felts so loose and I even felt 10 times better by the next morning! Looking forward to the next session of FTS and getting back to normal :)
I never knew this was a thing before coming here, and I really think that more doctors or therapists should recommend it. It can help a lot more people with a variety of issues if they knew about it.

My two main reasons for coming in are general tightness in my hips and wanting to reduce the risk of any pain or injury when working out. I have a desk job so I sit for a large portion of the day and that in addition to my workouts make my hamstrings and hip flexors lock up often.
During the session I could feel the tightness went far beyond just my hips and into my core. Immediately following the session I felt immense relief in my two trouble areas. I noticed an improvement in my posture and range of motion. The first workout following my session I could tell that the tightness in my hips was not causing any pain during core focused exercises and the depth of squats felt much deeper and I the movement was smoother.
I'm really looking forward to adding this type of recovery into my routine more frequently - especially in preparation for upcoming fitness events that I intend to participate in!

I started doing FST sessions to help with mobility and muscle soreness. It has been a great tool to assist in my recovery and overall wellness. Sidney is very skilled and a master of the craft. With each movement you can feel your ability to stretch deeper and loosen up. There is a profound difference in how I feel from when I get on the table and when I get up.

A couple of years ago a massage therapist referredme to Sidney because he practiced FST (FasciaStretch Therapy). I am an older women who hasseveral issues including arthritis and lack of flexibilityin my hips and legs that chiropractic and massagewas not helping. I hobbled into Sidney and literallywalked out! I started going to Sidney on a regularbasis (at first quite frequently and now a couple oftimes a month) and I am now, not completely painfree (he's not a miracle worker), but I have about85% of my flexibility back, my body doesn't acheconstantly from being tight and cramped and I amback to exercising and the recumbent bike. I highlyi recommend you give Sidney a try. Whether you havechronic issues like me or occasional troubled areashis gentle, but very skilled therapy will likely help. Hemade a world of difference in my life. I'm sold onboth FST and Sidnev. Thanks Sid!

Sidney was recommended to me by my physical therapist after continuing to have tightness in my back and stiffness in my hips and hamstrings. The first stretch was amazing. Without the typical pain associated with stretching, Sidney’s work helped increase my mobility drastically in only one session. I got off the table feeling loose like a wet noodle. Back stiffness was completely eliminated. I really look forward to continuing to work with him, and increasing my overall joint health. I am so grateful my physical therapist referred him to me. I feel like FST has added years of life to my joints
