Block Therapy
Real Healing Happens When the Body Is Aligned and the Breath Is Free
Unlocking the body’s ability to breathe deeply and fully is at the heart of my health coaching programs.
Block Therapy has become one of my favorite tools to offer clients as they learn to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and trust that healing is possible.
The body is composed of nearly 100 trillion cells, and every single one has a designated place where it receives proper oxygen, nutrients, and cellular cleanup. But when posture is compromised, fascia becomes frozen or adhered, and breath becomes shallow, these cells are displaced—starved of what they need to thrive.
Block Therapy, created by Deanna Hansen, is a powerful modality that restores the body’s natural alignment using therapeutic wooden blocks, diaphragmatic breathing, and time. By decompressing the fascia and training the body to breathe fully again, Block Therapy helps guide each cell back to where it belongs—so your body can finally heal itself, from the inside out.
“When your cells are in the right place, they’re properly fed, clean, and able to do their job.”
— Deanna Hansen, Founder of Block Therapy
But What is Fascia?
Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that weaves through your entire body—surrounding muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and even cells. It provides structural support, helps you move, and plays a key role in circulation, posture, and pain management.
When fascia is healthy, it’s flexible and fluid. But with injury, poor posture, stress, or inflammation, fascia can tighten, twist, and adhere to surrounding structures—even gripping bone with up to 2,000 pounds per square inch of pressure. This restricts blood and oxygen flow, displaces cells, and creates chronic pain and misalignment over time.
Block Therapy gently melts these adhesions, allowing fascia to unwind and cells to return to their ideal position—restoring balance, mobility, and breath from the inside out.
This is why I include Block Therapy in my Gut Restore, Conscious Conception, and Resilient Aging Programs

Some common benefits include:
Restores Cellular Alignment – Unlocking the body’s optimal alignment.
Frees the Breath – Reconnect to your diaphragm and oxygenate your tissues deeply.
Improves Circulation – Melt adhesions that restrict blood and lymph flow.
Releases Stored Trauma – The issues are in the tissues. Get ready for some deep releasing.
Supports Natural Detox – A gentle way to support your liver, lymph, and digestive function.
Reduces Pain & Tension – Address chronic discomfort at the root, not just the surface.
Did you know? Up to 84% of metabolic waste from fat and energy production is exhaled as carbon dioxide—making breath one of the body’s most powerful detox pathways.
What Makes Block Therapy Different?
This isn’t foam rolling or deep tissue massage.
Block Therapy is a therapeutic fascia release practice that uses gravity, time, and your breath to work with the body—not against it. Unlike forceful techniques, the block gently sinks into the tissue and is held in each position for a minimum of 3 minutes, giving the fascia time to soften, release adhesions, and decompress. This allows your structure to realign naturally, without strain.
You are the driver of your transformation.
With every session, you choose how deep to go, engage your breath, and guide your body back into fluidity and balance. As the fascia unwinds, cellular oxygenation increases, movement becomes more fluid, and posture realigns—one breath, one block, and one position at a time.

Every block starts with rescued elm wood sourced locally in Winnipeg. Your choice helps keep trees standing while giving local timber that was headed for the chipper new life. Simple, sustainable, and made right here at home.
Elm shares a similar density to bone, allowing optimal support for fascia release. The size, proportion, and rounded corners are designed to accommodate most body types.
Small-batch crafted and hand-finished, each block tells its own story through unique markings and character – these natural variations are what make each piece authentically beautiful and one-of-a-kind.
