109 - How Fascia Holds Your Pain, Trauma, and Weight - And How to Release It with Deanna Hansen

What if the real source of chronic pain, anxiety, poor posture, and stubborn weight isn't your muscles, but your fascia?

I am so excited to be sitting down today with Deanna Hansen, founder of Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy, to add another dimension to the fascia topic on the podcast. Today we explore more on the powerful role fascia plays in your health, movement, emotions, and longevity.

In 2000, Deanna experienced a major breakthrough. Her large, heavy body stored much pain and she felt weighed down and depressed. While experiencing the worst of a series of anxiety attackIn 2000, Deanna intuitively pushed her hand into her abdomen and, at that moment, began a path of self-discovery.

Deanna talks fascia and Block Therapy, a fascia release method she devised that uses sustained pressure with a specially designed wooden block to release adhesions, which in turn restores circulation, improves posture, reduces pain, and supports the body's own innate healing capacity.

Whether you're interested in fascia release, mobility, chronic pain relief, biohacking, longevity, athletic performance, or optimizing your physical and mental health, this episode offers insights that could change how you think about your body forever.
