No.  Pregnant or nursing women should not start blasting during pregnancy or nursing, anyone on blood thinners,  with blood clots, and a couple of other conditions I will add in when I remember

Not everyone bruises but blaster bruises (when blaster is used properly) are caused by separation of fascial adhesions which allows blood to flood into the area and begin the healing process.  In my case my bruises lasted 3 weeks initially because my inflammation was so bad and my healing process was slow, after 3 months of blasting my bruises were lasting only 3 days before they faded out.  Arnica Montana helps with bruising and inflammation.  Taking the oral homeopathic Arnica and/or the Arnica gel or cream applied directly to the blasted tissues helps speed healing and reduce soreness

Every body is unique, age, fitness habits, health, nutrition, hydration all affect the condition of our fascia and the speed at which it responds to blasting.  You will see and feel some results immediately others will take time.  Progress photos are the best way to chart your progress.  Adding vitamin C, collagen and plenty of electrolytes to your regular regimin will help recovery and detox as well as cellular regeneration.

It is a body sculpting session where the body is warmed, oiled and a variety of special Fascia Blasting tools are scrubbed over the tissues to release fascial adhesions, enlivening the skin, smoothing cellulite and reducing wrinkles and inflammation

Pain is a perception of sensation and varies from person to person.  I love the feeling because I know it is reversing the aging process for me.  It feels similar to a massage until I hit a fascial adhesion and then it feels like a hot or cold intense sensation.  Most clients report it ‘feels good’ and any discomfort fades instantly the minute the adhesion releases or the blasters move off of it.  Any client who has had deep tissue reports this feels much gentler than that form of structural therapy

Of course, you tell me what you need and what changes you are wanting to see in your body and we can design a session just for your body.

Other than possible bruising seasoned blasters say they feel like they just got an amazing work-out.  For me personally I jump in a ice cold shower after a blast and it shrinks tissues, helps the lymph flush (remember I heat you to blast), starts the body burning that brown fat and gives me tons of all day strong energy (better than coffee).  Because I was so tired and had chronic pain when I began blasting, I felt detox symptoms like fatigue and sometimes crankiness.  Detox is real and it is amazing for the body.  Be kind to your body while blasting.  Get more than your usual amount of sleep or rest, drink lots of water and electrolytes and eat light.
