INTRODUCING FLUID ISOMETRICSFluid Isometrics is a body work practice that utilizes either the practitioner’s hands or a therapeutic tool made of cedar called the Block Buddy to bring heat into an area and melt frozen fascia, releasing it from the area and thereby promoting increased blood and oxygen flow—both of which are critical to health and healing. Over time, our fascia compresses layer over layer. If we allow this compression to develop, eventually fat can build up, disease settles in, and aches and pains become chronic. Block Therapy is a way to personally harness the power of Fluid Isometrics. ABOUT BLOCK THERAPYBlock Therapy is a self-care version of Fluid Isometrics. The individual lies on a therapeutic tool made of cedar called the Block Buddy for a minimum of 3 minutes in each of 47 positions throughout the body. Wood is used as the therapeutic tool because, unlike artificial materials like foam or plastic, it shares similar density to bone. With gravity and body weight, the Block Buddy is able to sink deeply into the tissue, all the way to the bone. This pressure brings increased blood and oxygen into the area, thereby warming the connective tissue and “melting” the powerful seal between layers that creates unhealthy restrictions. The student is taught to use diaphragmatic breathing to bring into the body up to 600% more oxygen. This combination of increased oxygen, proper posture and alignment, and the freeing of adhesions form the basis of the Fluid Isometrics system. The end result for you is better overall health and wellness. Visit the Fluid Isometrics website for information on a block therapy class near you. fluidisometrics.com
