I love to read testimonials from those who have benefited from Block Therapy. Whenever I hear that someone has gained the understanding of how-to self-care, I get very excited because they experience the power of fascia decompression and the body’s innate ability to heal. In our Facebook community, testimonials are shared on a regular basis.…
We recently completed our 21 Day Pelvis, Legs and Feet Challenge. We asked the participants to send photos from the waist down to track alignment changes in the legs and feet, as well as any improvements to the quality of this tissue.

For years I have been sharing a different approach to addressing acute injury. Icing never made sense to me as the body’s initial response to injury or stress is inflammation. I couldn’t wrap my head around why we would move in the opposite direction to this. I remember the first time that I questioned using…
