What Is Block Therapy?

Block Therapy is designed to melt through restrictions in fascia tissue caused from aging, injury and surgery. The student lies over a therapeutic tool called the Block Buddy.

The combination of body weight, gravity and diaphragmatic breathing creates a heating effect that melts through restrictions, improving blood and oxygen flow to cells.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds all of the cells of our body. An interactive web of communication that speaks and responds to all actions of the body. If the system is open and flowing, all cells are healthy and nourished, however we give the fascia too much to do and to correct through our unconscious posture, chronic habitual movements, incorrect breathing, and even just through gravity itself we collapse forward. The fascia responds to this trauma by trying to correct our alignment and bring us back into balance with 2000 pound per square inch pressure. These adhesions are meant to create stability. It is a protective and intelligent mechanism. However, this causes compression and restriction of the tissues resulting in PAIN. These restrictions decrease the flow of blood and oxygen to the cells which can develop over time  into disease, unhealthy size, and shape, sleep issues and even affect our mental health.

What is Diaphragmatic Breathing?

Diaphragmatic breathing is more than just taking deep breaths – it is a focused breathing style that doesn’t just bring air into lungs but spreads it to the parts of the body that need it most.

What Fitness Level Is Required?

Block Therapy is suitable for all fitness levels as the positions can be adjusted to suit each users physical needs.

Can I Do Block Therapy At Home?
