I'm so excited so share this interview with all of you with the amazing Deanna Hansen, creator of Block Therapy. As with all of us, my journey is a journey, not a destination. If you watch this and have questions, please reach out!

In this moving interview, Deanna sits down with Block Therapy instructor Kelly Maynard to hear her remarkable story of healing from a storm of chronic condit...

Did you know that many who have lipedema also have some sort of hypermobility disorder? That doesn't mean you're just "extra bendy". You may have one of these conditions even if your doctor never mentioned it. One of my weirdest symptoms is changes in eyesight from hour to hour or day to day that varies with my stress level and amount of sleep, among other things. I used to think that my joints popping in and out of place was normal (like the creepy spine clicking when I breathe), but it's NOT! Sluggish digestions? Slow wound healing? Very slow clearing of meds like anesthesia or needing more than usual? Constantly being slightly "clumsy" or bumping/brushing into things (decreased proprioception!). I had no idea these were part of my hypermobile Ehlers Danlos...or that hEDS even existed...until I was almost 50! And yes, fascia decompression has improved all of these things because hypermobility is a connective tissue (aka fascia) issue!

I've known Aimee Buchanan, aka The Lippy Nutritionist, for a few years now. She always has some great insights to share. She and I approach a lot of lipedema-related things and nutrition similarly. My most recent blog post talked about what she discusses here...we can give you guidance and experience, but each person is unique and there is not one specific checklist that will work for everyone! Will correct nutrition help lipedema? Of course it will! The key is that you have to determine what nutrition works for you right now where you are. Is Block Therapy beneficial because it addresses fascia health? Absolutely! As with any therapy or approach, within that modality you need to make it work for you, not follow a protocol that worked for someone else! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GjzSc6Dqk/

If you don't know yet, Debby Pelletier is the only expert I recommend to people regarding whole body vibration/vibration plates, especially if you have a chronic and/or painful condition like lipedema, lymphedema, or hypermobility/EDS. Why? She has LISTENED to people with the condition and used her 20+ years of experience and training to figure out what makes vibration therapy work better for these populations. She takes time to offer free advice, answer questions, run groups, do collaborations, do one-on-one consultations, and make FREE content so people who are already hurting and needing help have the information they need. If you have a chronic, underserved condition you know how rare this is. If you need more help than her free content in her groups and youtube offer, she is available for personalized coaching at a ridiculously low rate. Join her group Vibration for Fat Disorders if you have lipedema or DebsVibe for more general content, or go subscribe to her youtube channel. People ask all the time how to use their vibration plates and if they can benefit us. Debby answers all of your questions and gives stellar guidance! Toss aside your user manual and its suggestions that don't work for us and get help that has been created just for you! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18mGPNsDAL/

Have you been intereseted in Block Therapy or have gotten your tools and don't know what to do next? My newest blog addresses that common question and gives suggestions for those at all levels of the Block Therapy practice, from beginners who only have a towel to those who are ready for new suggestions that are beneficial for lipedema and its comorbidities!

The question is always asked: What program EXACTLY should I follow if I have lipedema? I want to feel better. I want less pain. I want more mobility. I want healthier tissues. I want to reduce inflammation. As a Block Therapy Instructor and Fascia Alignment Coach, tell me exactly what I should do!My...

We're told that lipedema "causes" knee problems, but what if that's not totally true? What if the way you stand, your alignment, adhesions over time, the way you move due to pain and mobility issues, and fascia being stuck from more and more sitting all play a role and the knee problems start at your feet!? This can lead to misalignment of knees, fascia build-up around the knees (nope, that's not knee "fat" on lipedema legs!), then problems up through the hips. The cycle continues because all of those issues then trigger more of the same.

I got this tool because I'm a Block Therapy instuctor and felt like I should have experience and knowledge of the programs and tools available to best serve my clients. This is so much more than a face tool, though the programs it comes with do address all things face! I love it for small spaces all over the body. I love the programs they have added to free up the diaphragm and pelvis and target the lymphatics! One of my reasons for loving this face lifter program is the improvement it was able to give my husband this year when he had cancer treatment. The healing in his neck and throat were truly amazing, from radiation burns to localized lymphedema, to healing of ulceration in his throat and generalized swelling. Price increase is coming soon so get the face paddle at the current price while you can!
