Block Therapy - Changing Lives One Block At A Time
blocktherapy.com - Block Therapy is a self-care bodywork practice that releases scar tissue and compression throughout the body by targeting the fascia system. Fascia is the connective tissue that holds all systems and cells in the body together. Addressing the fascia system is crucial for managing and eliminating your chronic pain, managing your size and shape, anxiety, improving flow of your systems, posture, scoliosis, slowing down the aging process and many more.
The individual lays on a therapeutic tool called the Block Buddy for a minimum of 3 minutes in various positions throughout the body. The combination of pressure and diaphragmatic breathings causes the tissue to release to improve blood and oxygen flow to cells. We the instruct proper posture which maintains the work you have done on the Block. This can all be done at home in as little as 15-30 minutes per day.

I’m doing the breath exercises and I never sweat but I’m sweating but I’m wearing my Fitbit and my heart rate is up over 100 when I do it. I haven’t eaten sugar or carbs in3 years and I still have metabolic syndrome . Is it normal for the heart rate to go up when you do this squeezing . Im hopeful this will heal me
It’s amazing how much it hurts between my fingers! Going to do this !
Why do you keep turnng into a sqiggle?? 😂
Fascinating! I really appreciate how you explain such complicated things in a very helpful & understandable way! Terrance Howard would be impressed with your explanations about the universe. As above, so below ✨️
How many times a day can you do this??
Been doing the finger and toe web stretching for several days now, and find that my fingers and toes are itching a bit. Is that normal? 😮
Yes this is normal. Your body is releasing toxins. Keep up the work.
@@Fluidisometrics Thankyou!
fFascia is made of oxygen, collagen, electricity, and water? If so how could minerals enter it to calcify it? (Calcium?) Fascia is like the body’s WWW. It connects everything. It is totally malleable. I’m a massage therapist who melts knots using positional release. Another name, Orthobionomy by trade. For instance, if someone has a knot in their trapezius, I use a light monitor finger on the “knot” then I shorten their shoulder by giving the fascia space or slack to unwind. It helps the body to form a new pattern and go back to it’s original design. The bound facia is like a knot in a shoestring. A shoestring needs slack to untie it. The fascia is made of fibers like strings. I do however know that breathing and breath are extremely important to the fascia and it is why I listen to your videos. Kidney stones are calcified. What you may have seen on the X-ray were dense areas of the collagen matrix that makes up fascia.
Yes. I've seen with an ultrasound and my ex would inject a fluid into these areas that look "calcified" or hardened and break them up like a pressure hose with the fluid. Then the tissues would be realign like the layers they're supposed to be.fascia can harden almost to feel like bone. And at this point, wondering. If bone starts out as fascia then get messages to harden... and becomes our bones .
Show us techniques..talking does nothing
After the carnivore/Lion's diet improved my fitness & health, your approach is taking me to levels I never imagined were possible! 5'11 155 lbs, down from 180 lbs over 18 months. 54 years young! Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge! 🙏🏾
Excellent! Thanks so much for sharing!

You are so welcome!
Loved this! I am going to dust off my Blocks and get back at it!
Wonderful!
Helpful
Glad you think so!
Thank you both Deanna and Quinn! I used to call the line pulling the head up the sky hook. I use it just about every time I walk and the effect it has is wonderful. It takes the weight off my legs, they walk as if by themselves with no effort. It's great to see this mentioned. You're doing wonderful work ❤ If I may give a little feedback , the black clothes kind of swallow the contours of the shoulder blades ( no shadows ) , otherwise beautiful work!
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Fascia is like tight plastic wrap, not easily torn but strong like bamboo….flexible yet durable. Great talk. 😊
It can be.
I have bad bunions, my right foot is moving towards the right making my balance really bad , doing the same on the left foot but not as severe. I’m having a hard time buying shoes , I just ordered toe spacers and they help support me but I can’t wear a shoe with them on. Please , Can you help me ?
Right on!
Can you do a podcast on rebounding and fascia? 🙏
Hi there! I will make that suggestion for you!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Wow😮😮😮
Good video as usual
Thank you.
Very, very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Thanks
No problem
I just did this spontaneously, after trying an exercise from another video that used a yoga block. Felt really good! I will do this again with your instructions on the breathing patterns..
Wonderful!
Hi Deanna , I purchased the introductory pachage for $9 about 6 months ago. Either got lost among emails or I deleted by mistake. Can you resend to my inbox? Also how do i subscribe to your classes? Thank you.
Hi there! Best to email [email protected]. They will be able to help. For a list of teachers near you click on this link: blocktherapy.com/teachers/
Speaking of gravity... Truth is gravity pushes one down compared to what has been programmed to believe gravity pulls one down.😮

❤😂 I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Psalms 139:14 Thank you for all of your videos. I am working on breathing and staying really well hydrated and also working between fingers and toes which really helps. I am 74 with many health problems and was seriously so frail that I couldn't do most of the positions but I am improving day by day and increasing in confidence and faith. I am determined to get all the way better. Blessings to you, 😅Deanna and Quinn.
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones
Thank you for sharing ❤
Wonderful! All it takes sometimes is that first step!
You're welcome.
Thank you Deanna and Jana for your amazing contributions to women's health and well-being. You are both phenomenal! Really enjoyed the interview and learnt some new things🙂
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
So you should strengthen your tongue muscles by lifting the tongue to the roof of the mouth to strengthen it. Did I understand that correctly? 🙂 Thanks!
Hi there! The tongue on the roof of the mouth, about 1 cm away from your teeth is describing the proper alignment of the tongue. It's not a strengthening exercise.
@@Fluidisometrics thanks for the the reply! If your tongue is touching the roof of your mouth, wouldn't it stop doing that when you're asleep?
There is not much room for the tongue to move, but it is possible it could move, especially if your mouth falls open. The idea is to keep it in proper alignment as much as you can.
Chronic pain destroys everything in life. ... Slowly & in an extremely cruel fashion. Love the podcasts & the simple reminders how we can return to managing the self.❤
It sure does. Thanks for listening!
Cellulite is calcified fascia, wow i learned something!!!
Day 1
Sorry but, nobody stands kneecaps pushing out like that. It looks like those aliens from Charlie Sheen movie 😂😂
The idea is to have a slight bend in the knees so they are not locked.
Dear Deanna ! Thank you so much ! I'm just thrilled to have found you . I can feel how genuine and honest you and your work are . Should I do my hands and feet just once a day, or more ofte than that? I started this 2 days ago and am astounded at the change in my foot alignment today. I am blessed and enriched by having foynd you . In deep gratitude 🙏
You are so welcome! You can do the work as much as you like. Ideally at least once a day. I'm glad you found us!
@@Fluidisometrics Thank you for replying Deanna ❤ I'm not sure if you're getting this, I will step it up 😁 I am amazed at how much pain there is, I breathe it out. This will still work despite deformed bones because of rickets in childhood I wonder....I am only on my 3rd day and can feel a difference in my " connection " with my feet ,and my feet trying to correct. To have found you is like a great gift, thank you so much for giving us so much of you ❤
I don’t understand how his ribs can stay so low and flat while he’s lying flat like that. I wish mine could do that.
Block Therapy can help if your ribs flare out.
I’m waiting for an appointment with a urogynocologist for bladder prolapse.
I’m in Western Australia and the Couch order form warns that the outlets are for US and to check that that it can be used in your country. I can’t see that the Couch ball has any electrical outlet in the description, so what is this warning for please?
Hi Janine! I have Jana looking into this. This warning will likely be removed.
@@Fluidisometrics thank you
Something in my upper back popped when I tried this. I don't recall anything popping in m back that I have noticed in a very long time. I only did it once so far and so far no changes in my back pain. The only pain I felt while doing this is the constant pain in my hip and buttock that is always there no matter what I do. I don't know, maybe I wasn't doing it right.
Hi there! Perhaps some gas escaped and made the popping sound. Like a chiropractic adjustment. This position is not an instant fix to back pain. Doing it every day will help.
whoa. this will be life changing info!!!!🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
@Fluidisometrics I feel I was guided to find that particular video. I have been blocking for a few months. I never dreamed there is a solution to the painful sex issue. my approach has been to just avoid it, which doesn't really help us stay connected.
Thank you for watching!
Can we use the block in place of the cooch ball?
I couldn't agree more. Swimming is my place of taking my body out of my comfort zone. We would never make the body movements of front crawl backstroke or breast stroke on land 😊
Thank you for listening!
❤Thank you so much, this is wonderful 😅
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this valuable information!!! I just purchased my cooch ball !! 🥳💗
Wonderful!
I am 81 years old. I don't do computers and I'm not tech savvy to know how to reach you. I am on the surgery schedule to have my bladder tied up for the 3rd time. If I did Block Therapy somehow, would it help so I didn't need surgery again? I don't know how to get in touch with you.
Hi there! Block Therapy could help. Try reaching out to [email protected]. They will guide you in the right direction.
Geez I love you Deanna!! Amazing video
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Just amazing!! Both of you❤
Thank you for listening and for your kind words!
Thank you!!!❤
You're welcome
Amazing 👏
Thanks!
Bro that near gave me a panic attack, I got all shaky // sweaty and only lasted 1:30 😂😭
Keep trying until you can make it to 3 mins. If doing it on the floor is too much, try doing it on the bed first. This will lessen the intensity. When you are ready you can bring it back on to the floor.
@@Fluidisometrics any reason I’d be uncontrollably shaking after? Haha
What is your background?
Deanna was a certified Athletic Therapist with over 30 years experience. She has just recently retired to run her business, Block Therapy.
Can we extend this by also using toe spreaders?
Toe spreaders are not the same as doing the actual toe work. Toe spreaders are personal preference. The toe work is: Place your fingers between your toes while applying pressure into the webbing. If you can't reach your toes use the handle of a wooden spoon, or thin wooden dowel. Put enough pressure so you start to feel the pain, but not so much that you can't breathe comfortably. Hold for 3 minutes. Do this between all toes, and do the work daily.
@@Fluidisometrics Why can't I do the hand webs all together, rather than singly?
OMG I LOVE you girls!!!! I laughed, listened and cried along with you and didn't want this to end. I usually scroll through comments whilst listening to podcasts, but only got through the beautiful comment about "finding your tribe" and I stopped scrolling - hanging on every word from you two amazing, beautiful ladies. I loved the "bigger picture" of what you were discussing and where these stories/info were going. Many blessings and thank you for contributions to Humanity and "the All". Xo
Thank you so much!!
