Hi, I’m Lisa Albert — a certified Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) Sports Specialist, Minnesota’s first Dermal Fascial Restoration (DFR) practitioner, and the owner of Twin Cities Fascial Stretch + Wellness.

I bring over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, serving the Twin Cities community with a deep commitment to helping people move and feel better. My training includes direct instruction from the founders of Fascial Stretch Therapy at the Stretch to Win Institute in Arizona, as well as from Dr. Paul Mettler, founder of the Mettler Institute in Chicago and developer of the innovative soft tissue treatment Dermal Fascial Restoration, restoring the structural integrity and function to dermal and fascial adhesions, including mature incisional scars.

As both an FST Sports Specialist and DFR practitioner, I’ve worked with professional and elite athletes, as well as individuals of all ages navigating a wide range of medical conditions—including plantar fasciitis, connective tissue disorders, and recovery from knee or hip replacement surgeries.

While I specialize in athletic performance and recovery, Fascial Stretch Therapy is for everyone. Whether you're managing chronic pain, looking to enhance mobility, or simply want to feel your best, you're welcome on my table.

Today, Fascial Stretch Therapy and Dermal Fascial Restoration are recognized as gold standards for soft tissue repair and restoration in medical, osteopathic, chiropractic, and physical therapy practices—as well as in professional sports, Olympic training programs, and elite fitness circles.

Thank you for visiting my website—I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your wellness journey.

Dream it

Movement has always been central to my life. As a former tennis player, rower, fitness trainer, group fitness instructor, and yoga teacher, I’ve spent decades exploring how the body moves—and how it can be pushed to perform at its highest level. Today, I bring that lifelong passion and experience to my work as a Fascial Stretch Therapy Sports Specialist, Minnesota’s first certified Dermal Fascial Restoration practitioner, and the owner of Twin Cities Fascial Stretch + Wellness.

Through years of high-level training and the physical toll that came with it—including multiple back surgeries—I developed not only a deep admiration for those who push their limits, but also a profound compassion for those whose bodies have been pushed too far. My own healing journey is what led me to specialize in soft tissue repair, fascial health, and the restoration of healthy movement patterns.

I’m endlessly fascinated by the body—how it can make us feel strong and confident, how it can surprise us, and how, sometimes, it can disappoint us. But with the right care, support, and intention, it can also heal. As we age, we gain a deeper appreciation for our mobility, our resilience, and that inner fire that drives us to live with passion, purpose, and gratitude.

While I specialize in working with athletes and active individuals, Twin Cities Fascial Stretch + Wellness is truly a space for anyone—at any stage of life—who wants to feel better, move better, and live fully in their body.
