Fascial Stretch Therapy | Manual Therapy | Performance Recovery

“Flexibility isn’t just about touching your toes — it’s about restoring the body’s ability to move freely, without pain, at any age. Fascia holds the story of every injury, every hour spent sitting, every training session. My job is to help release it.”

This is the philosophy Heather Claus brings to her work as one of the top Fascial Stretch Therapists in North America.

With over 23 years in the strength coaching and manual therapy space — including 15+ years specializing in Fascial Stretch Therapy — Heather has built her practice on a deep understanding of how fascia, mobility, and performance intersect. She holds certification as a Fascial Stretch Specialist through all three levels (FST-1, FST-2, FST-3), and has integrated this expertise with a range of complementary manual therapy tools, including Myofascial Movement Release, Fascial Abrasion, Fascial Movement Taping, Class IV red light therapy, and TCM cupping with Rock Pods — ensuring clients achieve optimal results from every session.

Her approach doesn’t stop at the fascia. Drawing on her broader background — including Biosignature Practitioner certification (Levels 1–2) and training under world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin at the Poliquin Strength Institute — Heather views mobility as one piece of a larger picture that includes hormonal health, nervous system regulation, and recovery capacity.

Through her practice, Flexible Bodies Training and Therapy, Heather has worked with an elite roster of athletes and teams, including the NFL (Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons), NCAA Division 1 Basketball, Olympic Speed Skating (Poland), Olympic Shot Put, Varsity Rugby, BJJ World Masters competitors, and Strength Sensei himself, Charles Poliquin.

“People underestimate what a truly mobile, well-functioning body feels like until they experience it. I love being the person who helps clients get there — often for the first time in years.”
