Simply Stretch LA is Los Angeles’ premier Assisted Stretching & Manual Therapy studio, specializing in a combination of Fascial Stretch Therapy, Graston Technique, Cupping Therapy, Massage Therapy techniques and Active Release Techniques (ART). Fascial Stretch Therapy, or FST, is an innovative system of manual, assisted stretch therapy techniques that includes joint capsule, fascial and muscular stretching to rapidly eliminate pain, improve mobility, restore impaired function, reduce recovery time & optimize athletic performance. FST is very different than what we think of as traditional stretching or bodywork, in that it is more functional and dynamic. Unlike traditional stretching or bodywork that only attempts work on muscles, FST engages the entire myofascial system by targeting muscles as well as their neighboring joints, ligaments, tendons, and bones. Graston Technique is a unique, evidence-based form of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) that enables certified clinicians to effectively address scar tissue, fascial restrictions and range of motion limitations. Graston Technique is the gold standard IASTM modality and has been perfected by certified clinicians over the last 20+ years! Cupping Therapy utilizes suction and negative pressure to decrease myofascial restrictions, loosen muscles, encourage blood flow and relax the nervous system. Cupping has been used for ages and is a very effective modality to decreasing pain & improving function!
