Block Therapy

A guided self-care practice using a specially designed wooden block to work with patterns of tension and restriction in the fascia.

Block Therapy is a guided self-care practice that combines focused breathing with a specially designed wooden block to work with areas of tension and restriction in the fascia. By applying sustained, focused pressure, Block Therapy is designed to help address fascial adhesions and restrictions that may contribute to pain, decreased mobility, and changes in how the body functions.

The goal is to support the fascia in becoming more hydrated, adaptable, resilient, and healthy.

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything in the body. It envelops your muscles, joints, and organs and extends throughout the body, surrounding individual cells and connecting different structures together. Because fascia is so interconnected with the body's structure and movement, supporting healthy fascia can be an important part of supporting overall wellbeing.

Block Therapy gives you a practical way to work with your own body between sessions, helping you become an active participant in your healing and self-care.

Personalized Block Therapy Assessment

Want to take the work even further? The Personalized Block Therapy Assessment offers a tailored approach to working with your body's unique patterns of tension and restriction.

Your program begins with a postural assessment. You’ll provide four photos of yourself, which I use to identify patterns of tension and imbalance throughout the body. From this assessment, I create a customized 30-day plan designed to help you systematically work with areas where your body may have developed protective patterns of tension and restriction.

Over the 30 days, you’ll have a structured practice to help you build awareness, work with your body consistently, and develop tools you can continue using beyond the program.

What You’ll Need

To participate in the Personalized Block Therapy Assessment, you’ll need your own Block Therapy block and an active 30-day Block Therapy membership. These are purchased separately and are not included in the cost of the program.

Your customized plan will include links to the specific videos you’ll need for each day, giving you step-by-step guidance through the areas of your body you’ll be working with.

Rather than wondering what to work on or where to begin, you’ll have a personalized roadmap to guide you through your 30-day journey.
