Introducing
The Ublock
In 2015, while training for the Chicago Marathon, I developed debilitating plantar fasciitis.
As both a runner and Physical Therapist, I tried every recommended protocol - frozen water bottles, straps, lacrosse balls and massage therapy, with very little relief.
Today, I’m excited to introduce the Ublock: a nontoxic, holistic, organic wooden block uniquely designed and patented to address foot, ankle and lower leg pain.
Whether you're a runner, dancer, soccer player, teacher, hairdresser, construction worker or anyone dealing with chronic foot pain, The Ublock provides lasting, meaningful relief.
Through targeted stretches and breath work, The Ublock will help transform muscle tension at its source. Each Block is made in the U.S. in an environmentally-conscious facility using untreated wood safe for skin contact.
I believe everyone deserves a healthy, fulfilling life and I’m committed to offering tailored coaching and support to help you reach your goals and create sustainable habits.
Do you struggle with plantar fasciitis or experience pain in your knees, feet or ankles?
The Ublock is a holistic, non-toxic, ergonomically designed, patented wooden device that has been scientifically tested and proven to relieve muscle pain, tension and pressure. Its unique relaxation method combines bodyweight pressure with guided breathing to transform pain into improved muscle movement, better joint mobility and overall enhanced body function.
Finally - real pain relief.
It works! And U make it work!

Your Questions, Answered
-
No, The Ublock is not a medical device. It is an exercise block.
-
The frequency of use depends on what you’re experiencing. A good starting point is to use your Ublock daily. Some individuals may start off only tolerating 30 seconds or a minute. The goal is to build up to 3 or 5 minutes with the prolonged stretch in each position. There are a total of 7 positions to start with as well the boxed 4 count breathing, inhalation through the nose that is explained in your included Guidebook, which is essential.

This will be based on what you are experiencing. Typically one could start noticing relief within a few days provided they follow protocol and take breaks from strenuous activities. Users of this exercise block could further their progress if they are also working with a Physical Therapist, Chiropractor or and the like.
