Block Therapy

Because your face doesn’t age in isolation.

Facial aging is often a reflection of what’s happening below the surface—throughout your entire body. Poor posture, shallow breathing, and tight fascia create downward tension that pulls on facial tissues, contributing to sagging skin, deepening lines, and puffiness.

Block Therapy works by releasing adhesions in the fascia and restoring alignment, especially in the core and ribcage. This not only lifts and rebalances the body’s structure, but also improves blood flow, microcirculation, and lymphatic drainage to the face and scalp—delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

When the body is open and aligned, the face reflects it with a healthier tone, smoother texture, and more radiant glow. So even if your concern is just facial aging, treating the whole system creates results that are deeper, more natural, and longer lasting.

Block Therapy is done fully clothed, either on a yoga mat or a massage table. Using a specially designed wooden block, you’ll be guided through a series of positions that target specific areas of the body—hips, ribs, abdomen, jaw, neck, and more.

Each position is held for several minutes while you use diaphragmatic breathing to soften into the tissue. Over time, the body begins to unwind, space is restored, and you start to feel lighter, taller, and more connected.

During a sesison, you may feel:

• A deep release—often emotional as well as physical
• Increased warmth, circulation, and blood flow
• A visible improvement in posture
• A sense of calm, grounded energy

This is your time to drop in, breathe deeply, and support your body’s natural healing intelligence.

At the heart of Block Therapy is the Block itself—a handcrafted wooden tool designed to mimic the density and structure of human bone.

Why bone? Because fascia responds best to pressure that feels natural and familiar. Unlike foam rollers or massage balls—which may feel too soft or too aggressive—the block’s density allows your tissue to soften, melt, and release gently and deeply.

When you lie on the block and use your own body weight and breath, it works with gravity to:

• Reach deep, adhered layers of fascia
• Restore blood and lymph flow to stagnant areas
• Reopen space in compressed tissue, supporting alignment and function
• Activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s rest-and-repair mode

The block doesn’t stretch or force the tissue. Instead, it creates a safe, still environment where your body can unwind layer by layer, from the inside out.

If you're just beginning or trying the sample program, you’re absolutely welcome to start with a rolled-up towel or yoga mat.

While these substitutes won’t provide the same depth as the wooden block, they will still give you a feel for the technique, breathwork, and the deep stillness that defines this practice.

When you’re ready to go deeper, transitioning to the wooden block offers a more profound and lasting experience.
