What is Fascia?

Fascia is the tissue connecting every single one of our 100 trillion cells.

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.

The Three Components of Block Therapy

Create Space - Creating space in the body and melting through restrictions in the tissue is important for correcting posture and improving blood and oxygen flow to the cells, keeping them fed and clean.

Inflate Space - Instruction of proper diaphragmatic breathing turns on the internal furnace optimizing the melting of adhesions in the tissue. In fact, diaphragmatic breathing increases oxygenation in tissue up to 6x.

Maintain Space - Understanding how to use your body properly and strengthen correct foundation is crucial to maintaining proper cellular alignment. Block Therapy addresses this to give you a full body program and teaches you how to bring proper posture into daily activity.

Holistic Care Nurse Sara Appleton struggled with severe back pain, TMJ, and tension headaches for years. One day her friend dragged her to a Block Therapy intensive, and her world was changed.

Sara was initially a skeptic. But the theory of restoring posture and alignment, the theory of freeing fascia restrictions and creating space for the circulation to feed the cells oxygen and remove toxins made a lot of sense. Sara worked for a plastic surgeon who specialized in anti-aging treatments for many years and remembered the tenacious fascia and its adhesions during surgeries that she assisted in. She was a witness to restrictive scar tissue and people’s pain because of it. Block Therapy made a lot of sense to Sara both clinically and as an anti-aging tool.

After just one intensive Sara’s back pain was greatly improved, so she tried “Blocking” for her tension headaches. She hasn’t reported a tension headache since adopting Block Therapy. Sara no longer needs medications for her TMJ or back pain either, instead she Blocks regularly to maintain her alignment and rid her body of the aches and pains that come along with being an active sportsperson. Sara is still dedicated to anti-aging and laughs that while Blocking for her back health her cellulite is almost non-existent, her posture has been restored, she remembers to breathe properly, her skin looks healthier and she ‘sleeps like a baby!’

Whether you live in the Bahamas, or are visiting, send her a message to find out when and where her classes are, as she sometimes holds classes at the beach. Not only are her classes physically beneficial, she is also a group therapist and quite a comedian, so they are good for the soul!
