At some point, we all probably go “whoa-whoa-whoa, what happened? I wasn’t supposed to get old and achy and all twisted up…stop this train!”
And the train keeps rolling along. Little did we know how those surgeries, or sports injuries, or broken hearts, or broken toes, or moments of being shamed in the first grade…..or driving, sitting at the computer, crossing our legs, slouching, being “handed” left or right, or any ways that we are “unconscious” was going to take us into the future.
Even young people are suffering pain and degenerative problems these days.
Ever since we were tapped on the behind when we entered this realm and “took our first breath” and cried, did anyone show us how to breathe? Much less why we breathe? Most of us are likely unconsciously in a subtle yet collective “fight or flight” breathing pattern.
We all have thresholds of comfort, approach, and courage to defy perceptions and explore new paradigms. In this presentation, we’re going to do a functional fly-over of the deep and “fascinating” world of Fascia, aka Connective Tissue: the body’s most abundant material.
Learn about Fascia:
• Its form – a fluid, gel-like matrix that envelopes all other structures of the body
• Its function – hydration, sensing, responding
• Its purpose – protection, perception, communication
• Its language – flexibility, balance, structure, strength, movement, resilience, awareness, and, very importantly, pain and silence.
We’ll learn about Block Therapy, a DIY (do it yourself), simple approach to gaining more access, understanding, and cooperation with ourselves by working with the Fascia system so that we can be directly involved in how we age(less), recover, process, and consciously turn the tides on aging, degeneration, and un-wellness. Specifically, we will learn about decompressing Fascia, breathing, and bringing life back into tissues.
Jessica-Mycelia is dedicated to wholistic and simple approaches to life. As an international flight attendant in the 80’s and 90s, she was touched by many different cultures and how nature and love shone through good times and bad; and how unbelievably resilient people really are. As a wholistic Aesthetician her approach to skincare and beauty is bringing out the natural glow and healing ability within each person. Her specialty is facial massage, working with the fascia and lymph to cleanse, uplift, and rejuvenate, along with the traditional Chinese understanding of raising “Shen” or the light within. She is at Waterstone Spa if you are looking for a facial!
Block Therapy and Fascia Decompression came along during a very difficult time in Jessica’s life as a lifeline and a pathway to unexpected healing and renewal. The practice is simple. The effects are profound. She recently became a Certified Block Therapy Instructor and is teaching classes at Inward Bound Wellness Pilates and Yoga Center in Ashland.
And yes, Block Therapy will get you feeling and looking more youth-full and healthier. Fascia is the Matrix. If fascia touches it, fascia changes it. Can Block Therapy help you? Let’s grab a Block Buddy, kick our feet up, take a deep diaphragmatic breath and find out!
