Have you heard about the Fascia Blaster from Ashley Black? Do you know what Fascia is? I was a little familiar with fascia, but never really connected to the importance of what this connective tissue does until I was in pain after running or leaving one of my favorite classes. Thanks to Ashley Black's knowledge of how to take care of your fascia there' no longer a need to tolerate the pain. I have attached a video of how I use the Master Blaster on different body parts. I love Ashley's attitude, she wants us to know & understand our body and by doing so we can empower ourselves to take charge of how to live pain-free. Thank you, Ashley! I am so happy with my results. See Video Below.
Let's get started - Ashley's website has full details and tutorials. Follow Ashley on Instagram & Facebook.
Here' a great description from Ashley; For those of you who are visual learners, you can imagine your skin is like the rind of an orange. So, if your skin is the outer layer of the orange peel, the thicker, white, fibrous layer that lies almost immediately beneath the peel would be your fascia. Just as that thicker layer completely surrounds the inside of the orange, the same holds true to your fascia. We all have a layer of fascia directly beneath the skin that completely envelopes the body, giving another protective barrier between the skin and the deeper soft tissue. Don't forget to use oil on your skin before you begin!
Believe it or not, even those pesky dents and dimples, that we all know as “cellulite” are also due to unhealthy fascia! Most people think cellulite is a fat issue when in reality it is caused by distortions in your connective tissue - fascia! When the fascia is adhesed, it can pull the skin inward and, as the fat pushes through the fascia, it creates the dents and crevices we call “cellulite"
If your issue is the IT Ban you'll want to read this; You are probably wondering what IT Band (ITB) Syndrome is, and why it sounds so complicated? Simply put, ITB Syndrome is a condition where the Iliotibial (IT) Band swells, causing aching pain from the top of the pelvis to the knee – and anywhere in between. The reason it is called the IT Band is that it runs from the Ilium down to the Tibial track. We don’t wake up one day and our body decides to retaliate against us, the swelling and aching are a warning signal that something isn’t right with our structure or biomechanics.
All you need is 3 - 4 minutes on each area, don't forget to oil up each area. I did have minimal bruising and in 48 hours it was gone. Remember, you're releasing toxins. How about getting rid of cellulite and carve out definitions into your arms?
If you suffer from migraines be sure to check out Ashley's video on how to use the Face Blaster for your headaches.
When the fascia is tight, it can constrict the nerves and actually block off the nerve signal! The Autonomic Nervous System (nervous system that controls bodily functions not directed by conscious thought – i.e. breathing) is directly connected and has innervation with the body’s fascial system. This has helped so much with my TMJ and neck pain. Great for travel!
You'll begin to see results within a few weeks or less. I felt a little sore after using, and tingly, because the blood was flowing. Don't forget the oil.

Signs and Symptoms of IT Band Syndrome (ITBS):

- Weakness in hip movement
- Tender trigger points in the hamstring and gluteal (buttocks) areas
- You can go to Ashley's FAQs page for full details
- For those of you who love science, (I certainly do) studies have shown that the body stores emotions and memories within the fascia. Yes, it's a wide topic but you might feel strong emotions or uncover memories during or after.
