Off the Bar Therapy
Welcome to Off the Bar Therapy - for both Fascial Stretch Therapy and deep tissue massage.
Based at Level 6, 12 Johnston St, Wellington Central, and Waiora Collective, 47D Kenepuru Drive, Porirua.
What is FST and who can benefit from it? It is a type of stretching that targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints. Through using traction the entire joint and joint capsule are addressed, this helps to remove restrictions, which can help with increasing range of motion and stimulating lubrication within the joint.
It is also addressing the plane/lines of fascia, not just the individual muscle. Quite simply it’s like wearing your tightest pair of jeans and then exchanging them for a comfortable pair of track pants after having a FST session.
Anyone can benefit from having a session of FST, professional athletes, weekend warriors, people with tight hips, shoulders, people with desk jobs or low back pain. It increases range of motion, can improve performance, improve posture and muscle function to name a few benefits. By improving function, pain can be eliminated or improved.
Pairing FST with deep tissue massage works really well together, either in the same session or in alternative sessions to help mobility, pain management, potentially reduce injury and reduce fatigue during workouts and improved quality of sleep. Please note, Fascial Stretch Therapy is not the same as myofascial release, this is a different modality which I am not trained to do at the present time.
Myofascial Cupping is also now available. This is different to traditional cupping as it doesn't encourage bruising but is done for tissue change. This can be a stand alone treatment or incorporated into a massage treatment. Dry Needling is also available. Pricing as at 01/01/2024 - 30min session $55 (massage, cupping, dry needling only) FST sessions need a minimum of 60 mins60min session $9090min session $130 Payments are direct credit or cash, no EFTPOS.
