JMH Block Therapy Training

The individual lies on a therapeutic tool 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 this program. The classes are taught in a series of 3 and are 90 minutes in length. In the first class we focus on the core to learn proper diaphragmatic breathing. In the second class our focus is on the legs and pelvis area and the third class is all about the head, neck and arms.
