1. Don’t come right after a heavy meal or intense workout—leave about a 1-hour gap.

2. Don’t apply lotion or cream to your body.

3. Wear comfortable underwear:
men: briefs or fitted boxer briefs — avoid loose boxers;
women: a bra without a halter-neck closure or a two-piece swimsuit.

4. The first session lasts approximately 75 minutes. We’ll start with a conversation about your current condition, previous injuries, accidents, or surgeries.

1. First trimester of pregnancy

2. Fresh, unhealed wounds and fresh post-surgical scars

3. Active infections

4. Fever

5. More serious conditions should be under medical supervision (e.g., hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.).

Some areas of the body may feel painful. At the start, you and the practitioner will agree on the level of discomfort you’re willing to work with, and you’ll stay in ongoing communication.

1. Light ambulation (e.g. a short walk) is recommended immediately post-session

2. Same-day: low-intensity exercise is acceptable; avoid high-load/high-intensity training—your body and nervous system need time to adapt to the changes

3. A session is not recommended a few days before a competition; it’s better to wait and have it about a week after the event.

Spacing is important—this is when your fascia adapts to the changes. Minimum 1 week, maximum 4 weeks.

1. A break of several months (a consolidation period is recommended (at least 3 months), adjusted individually — „after 10 sessions the body is like freshly poured concrete; keep children and dogs away” as Peter Melchior said.

2. After that, you can continue with:
— three "maintenance"/ "booster" sessions every few months, or
— five "advanced" sessions every few months, or
— repeating the ten-session series after a minimum of 12 months.
