For personal trainers and coaches
You can’t out-program a body that won’t move.
Soreness, pain and locked joints cap what any program can deliver. Your clients stall, and your programming takes the blame.
Education that pays for itself

At this pace your Early Bird tuition of $2300 + tax is back in about 4 weeks. Most graduates recover their investment within 3 to 6 months.
Already booked solid? Then the number that matters is not volume. It is what happens to retention when clients stop stalling.
Answer five quick questions, then pick a time to talk with our enrollment advisor to get clarity about the growth of your practice. It takes about a minute.
Question 1 of 5
Fascia Stretch Therapy™ Level 1 reaches the part of the problem training cannot. Traction and decompression at the joint capsule, not another set. Run it as its own appointment, or add it to the sessions you already coach.
Five days, taught in Canada, by the institute that created Fascia Stretch Therapy.
What FST adds
01
The mobility and pain piece that was capping every client who plateaued on you, no matter how the block was written.
02
Every trainer in the building sells the same hour. Almost none of them can do this one.
03
Range of motion changes inside one session. That is what brings people back and what they tell people about.
04
A tier of recovery work your gym almost certainly does not offer yet, at $100 to $150 a session.
05
Athletes, teams, tournaments. Recovery work opens doors that general training does not.
06
Most graduates earn the tuition back in three to six months, on the clients they already have.
Why fit pros specifically
You are competent, you are dedicated, and you plan good sessions. The thing stopping them is not in the programming.
They arrive sore from the last session, so they never train at the intensity the plan assumes
Restricted joints cap their range, so the movement never actually looks like the movement
You scale it back, or you push through it, and neither one addresses why
They stall, they lose faith in the process, and it reads as your programming
Traction and decompression at the joint capsule, working the fascia rather than pulling on a muscle.
Then the body unlocks. They hit a full squat, they reach overhead, and the programming starts working again.
“Fantastic value that can be implemented and applied right off the bat to anyone.”
Why nobody taught you this
Certification taught you programming, progression and load. It did not teach you fascia or joint capsules, because when most of these courses were written fascia was still treated as an envelope that muscles attach to.
Meanwhile your clients kept arriving sore and stiff, and you did what everyone does: a warm up, some mobility drills, a foam roller. The demand arrived without waiting for anyone to teach you the trained version of it.
Up to 24 students, 4 instructors. They do not just watch your hands; they feel them, sequence after sequence, and you feel theirs.

Practitioners from across Canada share how FST certification changed their practice.
“I'm absolutely taking this into my business for my personal training clients.”

“One move, and I thought: this is exactly what I've been looking for.”
Trainer
“I got off the table and thought, I've got new legs.”
Carl
“I learned so much in depth on how the fascia works.”
Student
“It taught me how to really connect to their bodies and feel them better.”
Eddie
“You practice on everyone in the class, not just two or three people.”

What students send us after graduating
Whether you have to overhaul your practice to use it. Whether you wait a year to see anything. That is the part most people wonder about before they commit, and it is usually the reason they wait. Mike sprinkles it into his sessions after the workout. In his first week back he had five sessions in, the next eight weeks booked, and a demo at a tennis tournament.
It folds into what you already do, and it opens doors to rooms you were not in before.
The five days
This is not a weekend introduction to assisted stretching. It is a full week to develop real professional competence. Monday to Thursday runs 9am to 6pm, Friday 9am to 5pm. You are on the table about as often as you are standing beside it.
Pre-course video library. Our founders demonstrating on a skeleton and on real bodies. Finished at least one week out, so you walk in already familiar with the material.
Foundations, table mechanics, lower body sequences and the hip capsule.
Advanced lower body and core, and the fascial lines that connect them.
Upper body, shoulder capsule, neck and arms.
Full body integration, dynamic assessment and treatment.
You give and receive a full 60-minute session, filmed for your own marketing, then a business segment and graduation.
Ongoing support. Post-course video library, online community, webinars, and a check in from our team through the year.
What you leave with
The support does not end at graduation. Graduates keep reaching out years later, and we keep answering.
Course locations
We run Level 1 across the country, west to east. Pick your city and date at checkout.
Burlington is the Toronto area course, 45 minutes from downtown.
On timing
Level 1 runs a handful of times a year across the whole country. Once a city’s date passes, the next one there is usually months out. Therapists write to us asking when we will be back.
Another year of watching the same clients stall is not a neutral option. It is another year of them believing it is the program.

1:6 instructor to student ratio, guaranteed.
No. Level 1 is taken by personal trainers, kinesiologists, physiotherapists, martial arts instructors and other body workers alongside RMTs. No prior FST experience is required.
Yes. Graduates add it after a workout, or run it as its own appointment. Clients stay fully clothed and there is no oil, so it works in a gym, a studio or a client's home.
FST is delivered on a table. Tables, straps, cushions and a workbook are provided for the five days, and because clients stay clothed it travels well afterwards.
The week you get back. One graduate had five sessions booked in his first week and the following eight weeks filled.
Yes. Pay in full, or split your tuition into three payments over three months. The payment plan is ours, so there is no third-party credit check and no application. Register 30 or more days before your course start date and you pay $2300 CAD + tax instead of $2600 + tax.
90 moves, taught over 19 full-body sequences, including full-body FST assessment and treatment protocols. The course covers client communication, session flow, and how to integrate FST into your existing practice. On the final day you give and receive a full 60-minute session. You can book FST the Monday after.
Courses go up to 24 students with 4 instructors, a strict 1:6 ratio. Instructors do not simply watch your hands, they feel them, repeatedly, and you get to feel an instructor's hands too. That is what the ratio is for: teaching personal enough that you leave competent, not just certified.
No prior FST experience is required for Level 1. Massage therapists, personal trainers, kinesiologists, physiotherapists and other body workers all take it. Basic anatomy helps, but it is not a prerequisite.
Monday through Thursday: 9am to 6pm. Friday: 8am to 5pm. Nine hours a day, five days, which is what 90 moves and 19 sequences take.
Traditional stretching isolates individual muscles with static holds. FST uses dynamic, pain-free movement to work with fascia nets and joint capsules, with gentle traction and oscillation rather than forcing muscles.
Yes, and it is what makes the tuition zero risk. If you follow our process and do not earn back your tuition within 6 months, we will refund the difference. Most graduates charge $100 to $150 per session and recover their investment within 3 to 6 months.
We run courses across Canada: Vancouver BC, Calgary AB, Edmonton AB, Burlington ON (the Toronto area course, 45 minutes from downtown), Ottawa ON, and Halifax NS. Dates and seat availability live at checkout, so pick your city and date there.
No. You cannot learn where to put your hands on a joint capsule from a screen. Every technique is practiced on a partner, corrected by an instructor, and practiced again.
Fascia Stretch Therapy. It is a specialized assisted stretching system created by the Stretch to Win Institute that focuses on the body's fascia and joint capsules rather than isolating individual muscles.
Last thing
Level 1 runs five days. You leave certified, with 90 moves across 19 sequences and a system you can offer the week you get back.
