5. What is Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)?

Fascial Stretch Therapy is a specialized form of assisted stretching that targets the fascia the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, bones, and joints. As an FST Level 2 certified practitioner, Eva uses gentle traction and stabilization techniques to release fascial restrictions, improve flexibility, and enhance range of motion. Unlike traditional stretching, FST is performed on a table while you're fully clothed and relaxed.

6. What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

Swedish massage uses lighter to medium pressure with flowing, relaxing strokes designed to reduce stress and promote overall relaxation. Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and slower techniques to target chronic muscle tension, knots, and deeper layers of muscle tissue. Eva can adjust pressure and techniques during your session based on what your body needs.
