how to (un)Block

If you've got aches and pains or sore, stiff post-workout muscles using the (un)Block is the next best thing to a massage - for as long as you want, as often as you want, wherever you are.

Just like a massage ball, use some or all of your body weight on the (un)Block to create myofascial release to improve tension, mobility, and reduce pain. You'll get an immediate aahhh... that feels SO good response.

fast feet

release big toes, arches, plantar fascia, and heels - standing, seated, or on the floor

trigger point release

slow is smooth

release doesn't need brute force or speed - research shows fascia regenerates best with very slow movement (Documentary: Fascia - Secrets Under the Skin)

Goldilocks density

release tight spots (IT band, TFL, inguinals, psoas) without cringing against the pain

squat rescue

low back pain

use large blocks flat or up - against a wall, sitting in a chair, or lying on the floor, couch or bed

same tool, more options

go long

adjust the position of the (un)Block to match the target area and intensity needed - flat, up, tall, or edge

on-demand agency

self-treatment

when you want, where you want - no appointment necessary, no downtime, driving, or waiting

more release, same time

multi-tasking works

using multiples maintains up/down & left/right balance while targeting more areas at the same time

your versatile go-to

better than a ball

use one at a time to replicate typical lacrosse / massage ball techniques with less cringe

  • use two or more at a time for multi-tasking while balancing left/right, upper and lower body for spinal stability
  • use flat, up, tall, or just the edge for versatility to match YOUR body shape
  • use along or across the muscle length for targeted relief
  • use it on the floor, against the wall, or seated - any flat surface at home, office, café, or plane
  • use in bed, on the couch - any soft surface without getting lost in the squish while reading or watching TV
