ABOUT BLOCK THERAPY

Block Therapy is a self-care body work therapy, meditation and exercise. 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. Learn more about Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy.

Kansa Vatki Foot Massage

Kansa Vatki Foot Massage works with Marma points, pressure or reflex points as in reflexology. These points work the receptors in the feet and lower leg which corresponds with major organs in the body. There are 107 Marma points, which form vital energy meridians running throughout the body. Several of these Marma points are worked on the legs & feet (the true place of ‘prana’ – the body’s vital energy), stimulating the body’s own innate ability to rebalance and harmonize the ‘doshas’.

Another important part of Kansa Vatki Foot Massage is the small bowl that has been carefully prepared with metals of copper, and zinc. Copper is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve joint pain. Zinc is known for its antiseptic properties in treating and preventing skin disorders. The Kansa Vatki bowl balances the energies of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, detoxifies and draws out excess heat from your body.
