What is Fascia?
Is fascia Eastern Medicine?
No. Fascia is biology. Fascia is a connective tissue that connects everything from your skin, to cellular wall, penetrating everything in between, muscle, ligaments, organs, bone... When properly hydrated the fascia is highly viscous and flexible, when dehydrated and overworked it is dense and rigid. Western Science has only begun to study the details of what fascia is / what it does, but those of us who have been working directly with the human body for years, know it's importance possibly more than those who can (or cannot) see under a microscope. As I searched the internet for a cohesive definition, I found that much of the information is still outdated, claiming there is no way to measure or observe fascia. However, leading studies by Ashely Black Guru have been able to use ultrasound tech to visually assess the fascia tissue and has shown that we can directly affect the fascia and all those things within its structure with bodywork.

What is Fascia Blasting?
Fascia Blasting is a bodywork modality created by Ashley Black Guru. Within the blasting session we will utilize a variety of FasciaBlaster(TM) tools to release "bound" fascia. Bound fascia is highly dense, rigid fascia, in the average person it is a result of over/under usage and/or trauma. Bound fascia can cause cellulite, poor fluid circulation, limited range of motion, pain, inflammation, and more. With the FasciaBlaster(TM) we will work through the complex fibers and layers of the fascia to release the bound fascia. This will stimulate stem cell release, cellular and tissue regeneration, increase circulation, support lymph flow / detoxing.
What to expect in your Fascia Blast session?
We will gently but directly work through bound fascia one layer at time, at a pace that is comfortable for the client. Bound and "unhealthy" fascia is likely to bruise as we work on releasing the binding. Because the fascia is not just a physical network, but also an energetic network, clients may (at times) experience moments of overwhelming emotions, at this time the client is encouraged to release that emotion without shame or disruption. All sessions are customized to each client and both their specific needs and desires.
