Fascial Stretch therapy in tucson

Fascial Stretch Therapy is a great way to improve flexibility and mobility, increase performance, and improve recovery. If you are heavily involved in strength training, mobile muscles are the other side of the sword that is needed for improved performance. If you are constantly tightening up your muscles and they become stiff, your ability to stretch then contract the muscle is limited. Many muscles stay tight and in a contracted position even while at rest. When this occurs, it limits blood supply to the tissue, which decreases recovery time.

Adding FST to your training program will help your performance greatly. Many misconceptions are that stretching is painful, but FST sessions are not painful at all. Our therapist will  work with your body to gradually increase range of motion without overdoing the stretch.

Our therapist, Jessica Van Asselberg is a life long athlete. She is a world record holder in powerlifting and knows what an athlete needs. Her clientele consists of athletes, everyday people, and elderly clients looking to move better and feel better. 

Jessica does 30minute, 60 minute, and 90 minute sessions. For more information visit our FST page. To schedule an appointment please call the front desk at (520) 445-6800.

Full Body Follow Along Mobility Session

Mobility Training is one of the biggest reasons people come into our gym for help.  Without mobility, there is no Strength. Mobility refers to the ability to actively take a joint through a range of motion. Flexibility is how far you can passively take a joint through a range of motion. if you lie on your back and have someone grab your foot and bring your leg up strait till it can’t go up any further is your Flexibility range of motion. They are passively moving your joint through a range of motion. Now having you, from that same position actively raise your let up as high as it can go is an example of mobility. Though both are important, mobility is a combination of flexibility and strength.  

The series in the video above is a good full body series that offers some dynamic movement that will help warm you up to train and it is also a good everyday practice for overall fitness.

There are a ton of mobility programs out there and many of them work. Here is a sample of one of the series that we have put together that is simple and effective.If you are lifting lots of weights and just jumping on the foam roller for your mobility follow along and give this a shot. It will go a lot further than just soft tissue work.  Spend 15-25minutes on this series. If there is a stretch you really like do a couple sets of it or hold it longer.

 
The key is to practice often, don’t over do it with tension and be consisent. This series really works on the lats which is a culprit in tons of other issues. Light lats cause tight hips, shoulders, elbows, you name it.
 
Starting with some foam rolling of the hips and lats before doing this isn’t a bad idea as well as practicing some diaphragmatic breathing. Didn’t include these in the video to save time.
