WHAT IS BLOCK THERAPY?
Block Therapy is a fascial decompression technique founded by Deanna Hansen of Canada.
Using this technique will allow you to soften and release tissue to promote blood and oxygen flow to cells.

Face Lifter Paddle Kit
As we age, one side of our body dominates, causing us to wind down in a forward, rotational direction. Our head responds to this whole-body misalignment, developing fascial adhesions—"false walls and floors"—that attempt to secure cells in place. These restrictions impact blood flow to skin, hair, eyes, brain, and surrounding tissues, creating both functional and aesthetic signs of aging.
​
By implementing the Face Lifter Program into your fascia routine, you may experience benefits such as:
-
A natural facelift effect

Cleaner, healthier skin with natural glow and radiance

FAQ
How is Block Therapy different than any other fascia modalities?
The key distinction lies in the method: persuasion versus force. With Block Therapy, we gently persuade your tissue to melt and release. Through the application of your body weight and gravity, combined with pressure on the Block and proper diaphragmatic breathing, the fascia naturally releases tension.
In contrast, other fascia methods often rely on forceful intentions. This can lead to the tearing of fascia, resulting in injury and ultimately the accumulation of scar tissue.
What if I am unable to exercise?
Block Therapy doesn't demand any particular skill or significant energy expenditure. You remain in full control throughout your Block Therapy session. We provide clear instructions on how to use the Block safely, with one of the primary rules being 'your breath is your guide'. An exceptional aspect of Block Therapy is that it doesn't typically induce sweating—unless, of course, that's your intention. Block Therapy seamlessly integrates therapy, exercise, and meditation into a single practice.
"But it's just a block..."
We understand this sentiment, and indeed, at its core, Block Therapy utilizes a simple specially designed wooden block! However, it's not just any wooden block—it's your therapeutic tool. Bamboo possesses a density akin to bone, allowing us to effectively melt and release fascial restrictions down to the bone level, where many underlying issues reside. Unlike foam, plastic, or synthetic materials, which only address surface layers of tissue, the Blocks delve deeper, targeting the root causes of your discomfort.
Is this an at home program?
Absolutely! With Block Therapy, you have the freedom to practice wherever and whenever you desire. No need for a gym, studio, or clinic attendance. Whether you prefer the comfort of your home or the energizing atmosphere of a studio, the choice is yours.
Block Therapy is designed to be accessible to everyone, including those who are bedridden. You can bring your Block with you wherever you go. Travel frequently? No problem. Your personal therapist—your Block Buddy—can accompany you anywhere, even on a plane.
How can this help with skin issues?
As we age, gravitational forces cause our fascia to tighten, trapping these substances within its layers. By employing Block Therapy's technique, we aim to reverse this aging process by melting away these adhesions in the fascia. This release not only can help free trapped toxins but also negative emotions. As these substances are liberated, they may be expelled from the body through the bloodstream or manifest on the skin as blemishes such as pimples, rashes or discoloration.
