My jaw was bugging me when I woke up this morning, instinctually I put pressure against it- just like how you put your hand on your knee when you bumped it as a kid 🤯

Gate control theory explains that the increase in normal touch sensory information helps inhibit pain fiber activity, reducing pain perception

Block therapy introduces pressure to reduce painful areas, breathing into the position allowing you to relax into it, falling deeper to where the fascia is gripping.

🚨The rule of thumb is that your breath is your guide, if the pressure takes your breath away then reevaluate how its treated 🚨

Always working in your comfort level!

The calf muscles! Or the gastrocnemius & the soleus

Power house of a muscle group!

Drive alot? Right hip pain?
Check in with your left calf muscle, i bet its alot more tender than the right 🤔

Use block therapy to help explore where your body is holding tension you didn't even know was there!
Hold either of these positions with deep diaphragmatic breath to notice a difference in pain, tension, mobility and circulation

Our bodies harbour emotions & memories and store them in our tissues- crazy to think right.

Sometimes during the release of fascia unwinding with block therapy we are reminded emotions or events like of the car accident that caused the pain in the first place. A multitude of reactions can come - just have to let it flow and follow your breath.

Slow start to your Monday?

Be like Duke and get blocking! 😉🐶

Though block therapy can be intense, the combination of the belly breathing helps us relax into positions, allowing you to slow down and relax into the area you're blocking- not to mention adding props or pillows to be more comfortable. Areas like the neck can get super cozy and slow, grab a blanket and just listen to your body as you move to find the fascial road bumps at your own pace!

It's the perfect thing to start your day and get your body warmed up- or the best way to end your day!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to introduce myself. My name's Megan, I'm a massage therapist and I just opened my own space inside of the office co working space on the Bedford Highway ( previously second floor of Manor House furniture store). I've been practicing for almost 5 years now- recently I've expanded my practice to also include more of a fascia release style, using something called Block Therapy. I'm proud to be the first block therapy instructor in the Maritimes!

Block therapy is a combination of breathwork and block placement to melt fascial adhesions. Fascia is everywhere and becomes excessive with injury or repetitive movement. Block therapy helps release where fascia is gripping and pulling you out of alignment, improving mobility, boosting circulation and decreasing pain by addressing the root cause! It can be done as a solo homecare practice or it can be incorporated into your massage where I work with your movement. Block therapy is great for all ages!

Beyond massage therapy and block therapy, I offer face and feet reflexology, cupping therapy, and athletic taping; all with direct billing to most major insurance companies. Virtual block therapy classes are also available with a block rental or use of a rolled up towel, both one on one and group classes.

Excited to meet you!

Is this you?

Though it may feel more natural and comfortable to slouch or stand with knees locked it's doing more harm than good! Check in with your everyday posture and habits that may be contributing to your chronic pain.

I walk you through your posture, and goals before treatment to help address and prevent continuous strain.

It's so important what we do between appointments. Though it's a hard habit to break it's totally possible to correct improper posture once you're aware of the issue.

I hear this all the time as a massage therapist- even when applying the lightest pressure. We're not always in tune with what's going on in our bodies.

Just because it's not screaming yet doesn't mean it isn't taking a beating - we're tough on ourselves.
The body works together to keep you going, through compensation or old forgotten injuries - I can help bring you back into awareness of your body.

Manageable pain that you're able to breathe comfortably through is the road map to where your body is holding restrictions. Everything in a block therapy session is done in your comfort zone and can be modified to lessen the intensity if need be.

Let's talk about the power of your tongue 👅

Most people have their tongue pressed too far forward, or favour the left or right side. This subconscious habit causes you to rely on your neck muscles to support the weight of your head, resulting in jaw, neck, & shoulder pain.

The tongue is a strong muscle, that when properly positioned supports the weight of the head and helps maintain proper alignment of the neck's vertebrae.

A pinky nails distance from the back of your front teeth is a ridge where your tongue should fit perfectly.

Turn your head left and right with your tongue resting as normal. Then do it again to see the difference when your tongue is properly docked 🤯
Bonus points if you slightly tuck your chin to your chest and pull your shoulders back 👌

This practice is used in our block therapy sessions to help you embrace proper alignment!

I've been practicing as a massage therapist since 2017. I like to see the bigger picture and work with the body as a whole. By incorporating block therapy into my massage practice I'm able to offer you fascia unwinding, while working with movement and overpressure in your comfort level! I love helping you notice things that may have been subconscious to you, maybe that rolled ankle as a kid has been haunting you in the form of hip pain - we are a collective of our lives highs and lows, my goal is to help you work through any road bumps that come up in your body to help you live pain free!

I offer a block therapy/ massage combo in office in Halifax and 90min classes virtually through the comfort of your own home with classes that focus on your core, head/neck & shoulders, and your legs!
