Fascial Blaster - Ashley Black - Experience or Opinions

Post by Judy »

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the 'fascia blaster' by Ashley Black. I just finished her book and she is helping to educate folks on the various types of fascia etc. But is her tool a benefit in assisting folks to release adhesions & restrictions? Is it hype or is there something to it? Are the benefits any greater than other types of 'rollers'?

Ashley Black published a book in 2017 titled The Cellulite Myth - It's not Fat its Fascia. She has a line of tools that you can use to massage the body to facilitate breaking up restrictions, adhesions etc. She refers to herself as a fascioligist.

Well, I can tell you that at least one very knowledgeable person doesn't hold much respect towards "blasting fascia"! Here are 2 videos from Gil Hedley on this topic:

Enjoy!
