What is PNF Stretching
PNF stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) has proven to provide better recovery, neuromuscular control, flexibility, and performance. PNF stretching and muscle energy activation techniques combine isometric contractions, holding, releasing and stretching target muscles to restore flexibility, posture, joint mobility and help reduce muscle tightness.
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST), is a type of stretching that focuses on the fascia and connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, bones and joints. Fascial stretch therapy is used to address tightness and dehydration within fascia. It enhances the body’s postural balance for free and efficient movement utilizing a combination of breath work, mobility exercises and undulating stretches that will be used to rebalance the myofascial lines of the body.

What is fascia?
Fascia is an embryologic tissue often called connective tissue. It is a web-like three-dimensional matrix that intertwines, surrounds, protects and supports every other structure of the human body. (Ruth Duncan)
This connective tissue envelops muscle, bone, and organs continuously through many layers. The fascial web connects us holistically in movement and function.

7 Facts About Fascia
- Fascia forms a whole-body, continuous 3-dimensional matrix of structural support around our organs, muscles, joints, bones and nerve fibers. (Myers 2001, Stecco 2009)
- Fascia is a force transmitter. Fascia transmits internal force from the muscle and external force from gravity and ground reaction which are dispersed via the fascial network. Fascia helps prevent and minimize localized stress in the muscle, joint or bone.
- Principle of Tensegrity: (Tension and Integrity) Muscle isolation vs. fascial integration. The fascial web connects us holistically in movement and function.
- Fascia and the Central Nervous System: (CNS) Connective tissue has 10 times more proprioceptors than muscle.
- Fascia can influence mood and posture. Mood greatly influences posture, movement, and proprioception.
- Fascia allows us the train the whole body. The role connective tissue plays in developing fitness overall. Connective tissue envelops muscle, bone, and organs but it does so continuously through many layers. The fascial web connects us holistically in movement and function.
- A total of 10 fascial lines throughout the body. We can construct 12 myofascial meridians in common use in the human body.
