Unlike traditional stretching where muscles are pulled or pushed to the point of pain, fascial stretch therapy is less intense.
"Most of the restrictions in the body are just below the skin," co-founder Joe Faber said."Our therapists are trained to read and feel the tissue and go where the tissue leads them. We're a lot slower and a lot gentler in our work." While fascial stretch therapy is being practiced more each year, Neuman said usually it is done by practitioners in a gym or office building setting.
