Deanna Hansen

Deanna Hansen is Certified Athletic Therapist and founder of Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy, a bodywork practice that is a meditation, exercise and therapy all in one. Deanna began her practice as an Athletic Therapist in 1995, always focusing on deep tissue work. She built up a thriving practice, as her strong hands could work out the deep knots in tissue. Unfortunately, as successful as her business was, Deanna’s physical health and mental wellbeing were eluding her.

In 2000, Deanna experienced a major breakthrough. Her large, heavy body stored much pain and she felt weighed down and depressed. While experiencing the worst of a series of anxiety attacks, Deanna intuitively pushed her hand into her abdomen and at that moment began a path of self-discovery. In a short period of time, Deanna’s body began to change. The weight was dropping, the chronic pain and issues were improving and most importantly, the depression and anxiety were lifting. She immediately began applying this to her existing patients and the results were immediate and outstanding.

For almost 14 more years Deanna owned clinics where she practiced her new technique. In 2006 as word was spreading of the benefits of Fluid Isometrics, she began teaching other therapists. As this developed organically, it took time to create a language to transfer the wisdom that developed through her hands. This is an ongoing challenge and is always evolving, as the connective tissue called fascia is still a mystery to so many.

Deanna considers herself blessed as she has worked with countless individuals who have had remarkable improvements with serious health issues, healing of current and past injuries and who overcame pain, stress and anxiety. It has been a combination of transforming her own body and life and working with others that gives her such a rich understanding of the fascia.

Fluid Isometrics Block Therapy

Deanna’s journey working with individuals was incredibly rewarding yet her true passion is to teach people how to self-care. This is something that she developed from personal practice and exploration. She knew that teaching individuals to self-care would be of far greater benefit than giving people a treatment. Fluid Isometrics Block Therapy became the solution. Deanna took what she did in the treatment room and translated it into a self-help practice using a handcrafted cedar wooden block, called the Block Buddy. This simple, efficient, inexpensive approach is gaining credibility as people around the world are experiencing the benefits and sharing with others.

Today, it is Deanna’s goal to certify as many Block Therapy Instructors as possible. She has developed an on-line teacher-training program so people around the world can teach to their communities and empower others to become their own health advocates.
