Block Therapy, Fascia & Flow: Why Your Body Can't Heal What It Can't Release with Deanna Hansen

What if your pain, stiffness, poor recovery, hormone resistance, or "mystery inflammation" isn't coming from weak muscles, aging joints, or overtraining—but from dehydrated, compressed fascia?

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Deanna Hansen, creator of Block Therapy®, to unpack the missing link in healing, performance, and longevity: your fascial system.

Fascia is not just connective tissue—it's a sensory organ, communication highway, and drainage system. And when it becomes compressed from stress, repetitive training, injuries, sitting, or breath restriction, everything downstream suffers.

That includes:

  • Lymphatic flow

  • Circulation and oxygen delivery

  • Hormone signaling

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Detox and waste removal

  • Pain-free movement and recovery

In true FLOW Foundation™ fashion, we explore why you can't "train harder" or supplement your way out of a body that can't move, hydrate, and release.

In this episode, we cover:
  • What fascia really is—and why it's not passive tissue

  • How chronic stress, endurance training, and aging compress fascia

  • Why lymph has no pump (and how fascia is the pump)

  • The connection between fascia, breath, vagal tone, and inflammation

  • How Block Therapy® helps rehydrate tissues and restore flow

  • Why aggressive workouts, detoxes, and even HRT can backfire when fascia is stuck

  • How gentle, intentional decompression prepares your body to adapt, heal, and perform

Why this matters for high performers and aging athletes:

If you're:

  • Doing "all the right things" but not seeing results

  • Struggling with lingering pain, stiffness, or slow recovery

  • Feeling inflamed, puffy, tight, or restricted

  • Sensitive to supplements, training, or hormone therapies

This conversation may completely change how you approach your health.

Because nothing detoxes, heals, or adapts if it can't move first.

👉 Clean before you build. 👉 Open the drains before you add load. 👉 Restore flow before chasing performance.
