​
Meaning, Practitioner discretion is used in determining the type of care used - such as specialized stretch, deep tissue massage, tool work, etc - to build the best custom, hybrid care session based on your individual needs
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is the FOUNDATION of West Michigan Specialized Stretch
FASCIA is the fibrous connective tissue that spans in layers and nets throughout your entire body (pictured)
By focusing on fascia and joint capsule work in multiple planes (instead of just individual muscles with traditional-style stretching), FST improves mobility, proprioception, and performance - and the best part is... you'll be able to feel results right away, and they last!
GREAT FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE
The best part about this specialized technique is that it works great for anybody with a body that's having restrictions - athletes, weekeend warriors, people in chronic pain, runners, repetitive strain individuals, etc. Anywhere from teenagers to elderly, we customize each stretch session for you individually.
We work with you and meet your tissue wherever it's at to lengthen any shortened tissue, strengthen the overly lengthened, and to free up restrictions in your fascia and joint capsules!

ZOEY SANDAHL
Level 2 Certified FST Practitioner
NFPT-CPT​
I started my journey with FST as a client and was amazed by the results I felt right away. I knew this was something I needed to learn and share - and having our own location and environment to invite people into to experience FST is beyond exciting!
KATHY ALLEN
Level 2 Certified FST Practitioner
LMT
​
Having been a massage therapist for over 25 years with a Nutritional Therapy background, I was shocked by the effectiveness of FST and how beneficial it was to my own body and also for my clients across the board!
OUR STORY
West Michigan Specialized Stretch was co-founded by a mother-daughter duo in 2022!
Kathy and Zoey both went to the Stretch to Win Institute in Chandler, AZ to be trained in Level 1 (May 2021) and Level 2 (April 2022) FST together. They felt immediately adopted by the FST family the moment they stepped through the door, and will always remember how amazing it was to be trained to do this fantastic work together. Special thanks go to Ann and Chris Frederick who created this technique and the Stretch to Win Institute, to the instructors, and to the fellow FST Practitioners they got to know along the way! ​
​
We know how amazing FST is by experiencing it and learning this technique, and we'd love to invite you in to try FST for yourself, to learn a bit more about fascia, and to see if we're a good fit for you to help you reach your goals!
