Stretch Therapy

Increase mobility. Decrease pain. Restore balance.

At Indy Sports Massage, we don’t just treat muscles—we treat movement. Our Assisted Stretch Therapy is designed to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall body function. Whether you’re tight from training, stiff from sitting, or recovering from an injury, targeted stretching can help restore the way your body moves and feels.

Our highly trained stretch therapists personalize each session to meet your needs, using a variety of techniques—including Fascial Stretch Therapy® (FST)—to gently open and lengthen the entire body. Unlike static stretching done alone, assisted stretching allows your therapist to guide your body through precise, flowing movements that target restricted areas effectively and safely.

What is Fascial Stretch Therapy® (FST)?

FST is a proven, pain-free stretching system developed to target the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and organs. This method uses flowing, dynamic movements combined with PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and traction to release tension, increase range of motion, and improve mobility without pain or force.

Sessions are performed on a comfortable treatment table, allowing your therapist to stretch your body in multiple planes of motion to create lasting, functional results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens during an assisted stretch session?

A: You’ll lie on a treatment table while your therapist moves your body through a series of targeted stretches. Each movement is guided, gentle, and adapted to your unique needs—never rushed or forced.

Q: Is it painful?

A: No. Pain is never part of the process. Stretching should feel relieving, relaxing, and at times deeply releasing—but never uncomfortable.

Q: How is assisted stretching different from stretching on my own?

A: Your therapist can isolate muscles and joints you can’t access effectively on your own, ensuring a more complete, deeper stretch. This creates faster and longer-lasting results.

Q: How often should I get stretched?

A: Weekly or biweekly sessions are great for ongoing progress, while monthly sessions support maintenance and recovery. Your therapist can recommend a plan based on your goals.

Q: Can assisted stretching help with pain or injuries?

A: Yes. Stretch therapy is excellent for reducing muscle tightness, improving movement, and assisting recovery from pain or injury—especially for the hips, low back, and shoulders.
