Fascial Stretch Therapy® and Rehabilitation
in Cochrane
When movement becomes uncomfortable or restricted, it can affect much more than exercise. You might notice it when you walk, work, sleep, reach overhead, play a sport, or try to keep up with everyday life.
At West Valley Chiropractic, Rehabilitation Specialist Carla Randall, BHPE (Athletic Therapy), Level 3 Fascia Stretch Therapy® Practitioner, takes a whole-body approach to movement. Rather than looking only at where you feel discomfort, she considers how your body is moving as a whole and what may be influencing your mobility and function.
More Than Stretching
Carla combines Fascia Stretch Therapy with movement assessment, rehabilitation, corrective exercise, mobility work, and functional strength training. Your sessions are tailored to your current abilities, concerns, and goals.
She may assess areas such as mobility, strength, stability, posture, and movement patterns. This broader perspective can help identify restrictions or compensations that may be affecting the way you move.
People seek Carla’s care for many different reasons, including:
- Back, hip, neck, shoulder, knee, foot, or ankle concerns
- Stiffness and reduced mobility
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Returning to activity following an injury
- Movement or strength imbalances
- Desk-related stiffness and recurring tightness
- Mobility limitations that affect training or daily activities
- Improving movement for sport and an active lifestyle
What Is Fascia Stretch Therapy?
Fascia Stretch Therapy is an assisted stretching approach that works with the body’s fascial system and joints. During a session, you remain fully clothed on a treatment table while Carla guides you through assisted movements and stretches.
FST may be incorporated as one part of a broader rehabilitation or movement plan rather than used on its own. Depending on what Carla identifies during your assessment, your plan may also include mobility exercises, corrective movements, strength work, or activities to practise between visits.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily during your appointment.
From Rehabilitation to Everyday Movement
Carla works with active adults and athletes, as well as people who simply want everyday movement to feel easier. Your goal might be returning to the gym, hiking or skiing again, improving overhead movement, getting back to your sport, or maintaining the mobility and strength you need for daily life.
The focus extends beyond what happens during your appointment. She will also help you understand your movement and provide practical strategies you can use between sessions.
Better movement means something different to everyone. Your plan starts with what matters to you.
