Block Therapy

My body was so tight and frozen from developmental trauma and decades of living with a dysregulated nervous system. 
 

I had tried all sorts of things to help.  So many wonderful modalities out there.  They all had their place in supporting me along this journey,  along with the talented and caring humans. 
 

Some were amazing in their own ways, just not as accessible enough to help me to the degree that I needed. 

 

​​

Block Therapy entered my life in 2019.  It's been a big part of my self-care and healing journey since.

I am deeply grateful to Deanna Hansen for creating this work, and for all the experiences and wisdom that went into the creation.  

Today I share this modality with you, wrapped in gentle, intuitive singing.

My Experience

Starting in my teens, my body started to experience challenges and continued with added momentum despite a Master's degree in health, countless hours of self-study, and numerous attempts at trying different things, many being supportive to some degree but clearly not enough. By the time I found Block Therapy, I’d had chronic fatigue for more than 2 decades, and numerous other conditions that prevented me from being able to work much, and Block Therapy was one of the few things that truly helped move the needle on my health and healing journey. From the moment I lay on the Block, I felt immediate relief in ways my body had been craving. It knew I had stumbled upon an incredible tool. Was the relief enough to solve my problems then and there?  Well, no.  Not so fast.   We have tension (adhesions) in the fascia built up and ever-accumulating since we were infants.  And compensation patterns that become compounded.  Some things can resolve rather quickly, but other things - especially the ones we've been eager to solve - can take time.   But because it's deep and powerful work that will give you noticeable shifts rather immediately, you feel motivated to continue.  At least that's been the case for me, and for so many others.  I did not have the patience and energy to keep up with modalities that could be be supportive in the long-run, but that didn't create a noticeable change rather quickly.   Overtime, you become empowered in the process, learning to relate to pain as a guidance for where you are holding tension.  You learn to connect at a deeper level with your body.    Everyone's healing process is different, but for me, one of the earlier shifts was in the enormous tension in my shoulders and neck, that would only be temporarily soothed through massage. With massage, I felt better during, and for a few hours after, but that was it. With Block Therapy, each time you use the Blocks, you create lasting changes. And my digestion. Manual maneuvers recommended to help hiatal hernias (stomach caught above diaphragm) often helped bring some temporary relief, but the Blocks were noticeably going deeper and creating new levels of change. So far I've experienced significant improvement or full resolution in the following areas: - stiff neck & shoulders - so bad I often couldn't fall asleep - tense arms - so tense it was hard to focus on work - painful wrists - tired eyes - tension in the face and jaw - stiff and achey scalp - cold hands and feet - hiatal hernia & digestion in general - popping and cracking sounds in my knees - squeaking sounds in my neck - asthma during pollen season  - energy levels  - deeper breaths and more. I now live with a deep knowing that my body is and will continue to find its way to health, and it is in good hands. ​

What is Block Therapy™?

Deep Fascia Release Work

A lifestyle.  

A therapy. 

A self-care tool for life.  

It can reverse the tension in your body that has formed over the years as a result of gravity, unsupportive posture, injuries, surgeries, sedentary lifestyle, emotional stress, etc.

Why Start Now?

People wish they'd started sooner. 

If you are feeling called to try, I'd like to help you do that sooner, rather than years down the line.  Although there are always modifications that can be explored, and even 90 year olds begin this work and benefit from it, it is so much easier to get in, stay in, and get out of position when we are still able-bodied.

 

And the earlier we start, the healing process tends to be that much smoother, quicker, and less painful.

Prevention

So desired, yet... 

Understandably, prevention is a tough sell.  It's difficult to prioritize something when the problems are yet to emerge. 

Most people come seeking solutions because they are desperate after trying so many things.  And Block Therapy™ offers resolution that surpasses most people's expectations.  But it also works to prevent challenges down the road that many currently accept as an inevitable part of aging.
