About Anna Rahe:
For the past 20 years, Anna Rahe has been delving into a liberating and empowering relationship with fascia so that as many people as possible can invest in their health, reclaim their vitality, and heal themselves with the proprietary tools she has created. As Founder, CEO, and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians, and celebrities, and been featured in a variety of publications from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter, and The Wall Street Journal.
In her early 20s, Anna suffered from chronic pain throughout her body that manifested as tension and symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome. Despite being a dancer and having a better range of motion than most, she continued to suffer from stiffness and pain, with no clear answer as to why or how it could be fixed.
Anna spent thousands of hours searching across all disciplines, from East to West, for a solution. Every professional she turned to told her the same thing: “It’s too complicated.” She left their offices empty-handed until, finally, she took healing into her own hands—literally.
Anna followed the connections between pain and her body and through this process discovered fascia, the “secret organ” that, when damaged, causes many of the bodily complications and discomforts we suffer from. She mapped her entire body and that was when the sun finally came out in the dark night of pain she had been suffering from for so long.
