A Healthy Gut = A Healthy Mind
What Have You Been Missing?
Issues with digestion are rampant today. No wonder, there are many reasons affecting the health of our systems – the quality of the food we eat, the drinks we consume, and the stress we encounter to name a few. But one of the biggest reasons for issues with the gut is the lack of space in the belly to support the abdominal organs.
When you were young, you were likely told to sit up straight. Slouching didn’t look good. But there is so much more to keeping your body properly aligned than just for appearance. When organs are crowded, they don’t have the space to receive nutrients and do their job.
Today, slouching is an even greater concern as technology has driven our posture into an extremely compressed and negative state. This adds far greater stress to the abdominal organs and affects digestion, absorption and elimination. What does this do . . . it causes pain and suffering.
Let me explain.
There are 5 main topics that we will discuss.
- Diaphragmatic Breathing
- Tissue Temperature
- Cellular Migration
- Posture
- Digestion and Detoxification
1. Diaphragmatic Breathing
The diaphragm is the muscle designed to pull air into and out of the lungs. It is the floor to the heart and lungs and the ceiling to the abdominal organs. When this muscle is weak, the weight of the upper body squishes and displaces the organs, resulting in a lack of blood and oxygen, as well as a toxic and dirty environment.
Referring to the health of the gut, this is a problem. We need space for health.
When the stomach, pancreas, liver and gall bladder don’t have what they need to function, our entire system is congested and full of inflammation. Without space, the area becomes cold and digestion and absorption are limited.
When the diaphragm is strong, there is not only room for the organs, there is a continual massage from the movement of this muscle. This heats the organs and keeps the flow optimal. This means they are properly fed and clean, which results in improved function and health.
2. Tissue Temperature
The fascia requires a certain temperature for optimal flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells, as well as the removal of waste and toxins from cells. The diaphragm is like the body’s furnace; the upper chest muscles are like a space heater. In order for there to be flow to every cell, the furnace needs to be turned on at all times.
When fascia begins to cool, like ice compared to water it loses its flow and becomes dense and heavy. If the diaphragm is weak, the frozen ribcage compresses into the belly and causes immense pressure and pain as it takes away the internal space, impairing the organs from performing their tasks.
Block Therapy teaches you to melt the cold, dense tissue allowing the pressure to be lifted. This occurs through a combination of lying on the tool, the Block Buddy, and turning on the furnace.
3. Cellular Migration
Cellular migration occurs when cells move away from their rightful place under the influence of gravity, incorrect posture and unconscious breathing over time. The further the cell is from its home, the more pain it stores, as it becomes starved and dirty.
In the case of gut health, when the ribcage collapses into the core, the organs become squished and pushed away from their rightful position. Adhesions develop to attempt to stabilize the body, causing an even greater issue as they further block blood and oxygen flow to cells, as well as keep the area congested and inflamed.
Block Therapy melts the adhesions, strengthens the diaphragm and positions the body back to a more aligned posture. This allows the systems to resume with greater strength to support digestion, absorption and elimination – necessary for a healthy gut!
4. Posture
Most people aren’t consciously aware of their posture - especially now with our dependency on technology. Without proper postural foundations, the body falls into its internal space causing compression and ballooning as well as cellular migration away from proper alignment.
We are like a building and require solid foundations to support our cells. Without this awareness, cells migrate away from their natural resting place and become cold, hard and dense. Block Therapy teaches you how to integrate the 3 main foundations: rooting, conscious breathing and strengthening the tongue muscle to ensure you are supporting proper cell alignment. This keeps the space in the body to support optimal organ function, which is crucial for a healthy gut.
5. Digestion & Detoxification
Keeping your internal space available allows for the most efficient digestion, absorption and removal of waste. The more space we can provide within, the more room there is for flow; both in and out.
In 2014 there was a study done that proved that 84% of weight loss comes through proper exhalation. This is because of the powerful removal of waste that this function provides. Referring to gut health,
detoxification is of the utmost importance to ensure a healthy flow and minimize inflammation that becomes stagnant in the gut.

Block Therapy focuses on keeping the ribcage supported, removing stress and tension in the gut, as well as keeping the organs heated through the continual massage that comes from breathing diaphragmatically. This provides the space needed to allow the organs to function optimally.
Now that you have a more comprehensive understanding of your fascia system as it relates to gut health, you now have the knowledge for a new approach. You no longer have to live life with the pain and bloating being a distraction.

Some things you may ponder...
We hear this all the time... and ultimately you're right, it is a block made from bamboo!
It all comes down to persuasion vs force.
Block Therapy persuades your tissue to melt and release. Your bodyweight and gravity with the pressure on the Block combined with proper diaphragmatic breathing causes the fascia to release.
There are other fascia methods that are popular that come from a forceful intension. By doing so, you are tearing the fascia which creates injury. This ultimately will result in the build up of scar tissue.
There are 3 things you need to do to make change in your body:
1. CREATE SPACE
Release fascial restriction throughout your entire body. This is what our Blocks are designed to do.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Block Therapy does not require any skill or much energy expenditure. You are always in full control while you are doing Block Therapy. We instruct you how to use the Block safely - as one of ours rules is "your breath is your guide". A great feature with Block Therapy is that you will not sweat... unless that is your intention.
Block Therapy is a therapy, exercise and meditation all in one.
The beautiful thing with Block Therapy is that you can practice wherever and whenever you would like. This practice does not require a gym, studio or clinic to attend.
You can do this in the most comfortable areas at your home or ramp this up and perform in a studio. This is up to you.
We want to make sure all people can do Block Therapy... even if you are bed ridden. You can bring the Block with you wherever you go.
Travel frequently? No issue. You can bring your personal therapist - your Block Buddy with you anywhere you go - even on a plane.
