Interesting comments!
I'm over 40, so i'm looking for facial products that make me look more youthful without resorting to medical treatments. I think I'll hold off on the FaceBlaster. I'll wait for more reviews/testing. I think I'll pass on the book too. There is quite a bit of info on the web.... I have the FasciaBlaster and mainly use it on my back after vigorous yard work. It's nice when used in moderation. I also use MELT, Jill Miller, T-Tapp, Callanetics, and CS/Essentrics. All of them are pretty awesome! |

I ordered a faceblaster to use in my massage practice. I don't plan to use it on faces. I currently own two full blasters and minis - one each for clients, one each for me.
Callanetics movements and stretches pretty much target all of the fascial lines taught by Tom Myers, which is pretty cool considering the fact that Callanetics came before Tom Myers' books and classes. Keilan00 - I don't read every post on the FB Facebook pages but somehow I totally missed all that drama. I can see how Extreme blasting could potentially cause short term blood level changes but some of what you propose seems pretty far fetched. My understanding is that some of the "members" bashing the blaster and purporting bad outcomes were trolls potentially connected with another instructor who coincidentally plans to sell a - you'll never guess - fascia tool! None of my clients has ever bruised following a session where the blaster was used. I've only recently bruised in a couple of places and there was no pain and the bruising quickly cleared. I suggest that anyone wanting more info on the fascia blaster read up on https://ashleyblackguru.com/what-is-fascia/ - Start there and branch out to other parts of the site. I have Ashley's book and find it helpful. Most of what's in the book is available online in one form or another but it's nice having it all in one place. The book does include a series of stretches that can be used both diagnostically and to improve posture/body balance. I can't recall having seen them before, even in her ICE Foundation series.

I have a fasciablaster and have purchased the faceblaster. I have also not heard of the blood problems with the fasiablaster and in the beginning I read the posts regularly. I cannot give any info on if the fascia blaster works as I guess I don't want to spend the time it takes to see if it works. But I think I will definitely try the faceblaster when I get it.

The people reporting these issues are not affiliated with anyone. The one that reported symptoms similar to rhabdomyolysis is a nurse and just posted this 2 days ago. She replied in response to someone posting a link that the Fasciablaster does not stress the kidneys or liver. She was experiencing horrible symptoms, went to her doctor to get tested, and her physician instructed her to stop using the device. She stopped for 3 weeks. When she started again, she exhibited the same problems of stressed kidneys. This other poor woman suffered a ruptured kidney (see Nov. 17, 2016 post): http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum...3649&start=125 As for the negative effects on the face, join the Over 40 group and you can read about their experiences. I'm starting to wonder if this group is being censored too because I'm seeing more greyed out member names which denotes being kicked out of the group. Is it plausible for someone to have a negative experience from using the device or are they automatically lying? Who is the instructor with dedicated trolls? How did you make this connection? I hope you are not suggesting Sue Hitzmann because I mentioned the Melt Method in my earlier post. I purchased her book in 2013 but have been too lazy to use it but will be revisiting it again. For many years I've owned Miracle Balls, Yoga Tune Up balls, and Yamuna balls. I don't think Elaine Petrone, Jill Miller, and Yamuna Zake have minions denouncing the Fasciablaster in order to attract clients. I have mostly positive experiences with the Fasciablaster but there are times when I wonder if I'm injuring myself. I am always careful and conservative when using it. A month ago, a muscle in my lower back became inflamed and hurt for 2 days after using the device. Another time I had a sharp pain above my right breast from trying to release my pecs with the blaster. No one knows the long term effects. In Ashley's latest live video, her body is still beyond bound and she is noticably heavier than last month. It honestly looks she gained 15-20 lbs within a month. She's short and so am I. That number is actually a very kind estimate. When something goes wrong, everyone says to keep going and to trust Ashley and the process. Ashley Black keeps insisting that she is a scientist but she has no degree. I don't even see any licenses nor certifications. |
