Have you ever wondered how something as simple as fascia decompression—a technique that involves releasing tension in the connective tissue surrounding the muscles—could be the key to improving brain health? In this episode, Block Therapy creator Deanna Hansen joins me to explore how this therapy can aid in concussion recovery, Alzheimer’s prevention, and even alleviate brain fog.

Deanna explains the vital connection between fascia and brain health, how self-care techniques can improve circulation and mental clarity, and the role of breathing in restoring alignment. Whether you're dealing with concussions or simply seeking better brain function, she offers simple yet effective techniques to enhance your cognitive health.

Tune in to discover how fascia decompression and self-care can boost your brain health and overall wellness! Don't forget to share your thoughts and experiences with us.

Experience what it's like to decompress your fascia with just your body weight and a towel. Download your FREE 9-Part Full Body Fascia Video Series ($47 value) and learn positions to open the flow to improve oxygenation to cells, as well as strengthening exercises to pull your body back into optimal alignment: https://blocktherapy.com/
