• Learn proper muscle and joint function for effortless, pain-free movement with Studio U's Block Therapy

What is Block Therapy?

Block Therapy is a powerful fascia release technique. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and holds all the cells in our body together. Over time, adhesions can develop in your fascia through injuries, poor posture, surgeries, aging, and more. These adhesions cause pain or discomfort. In Block Therapy, we release the adhesions and learn to re-train the body with movement patterns, versus working individual muscles.

MOBILITY Virtual Class

This 50-minute virtual class teaches you proper muscle and joint function for effortless, pain-free movement. We’ll begin with a mobility flow to assess tightness in our bodies. Then, we’ll use a rolled-up towel or Block Buddy to open, lengthen, and release tight spots. Next, we’ll activate and re-educate those spots with proper movement. Then, we’ll reinforce what we’ve learned by moving through a series of pilates mat exercises. Finally, we’ll end with the same flow from the beginning of class to feel the improvements we’ve made.
