Block Therapy is body work practice that is therapy, exercise and meditation all in one. It releases restrictions in the tissue created over time due to shallow breathing and improper posture. The Block Buddy, a handcrafted therapeutic tool made from cedar, is the medium used to facilitate this. Using gravity and body weight, the Block Buddy is able to sink deeply into the tissue. This pressure, brings increased blood and oxygen flow into the area warming up the connective tissue and "melting" the powerful seal between the layers of unhealthy restrictions. Block Therapy is simple to follow, safe and effective program. It provides the vehicle to allow the body to reconstruct damaged cells, bringing life and health back to the tissue. Some Benefits of Block Therapy:
