Ashley Black, the #1 best-selling author and inventor of the myofascial tool phenomenon the FasciaBlaster®, was born in a small town in Alabama in 1973. At a young age, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) which would come in waves of debilitating pain throughout her childhood. She spent her youth in and out of doctorʼs offices and was told she would need a wheelchair by age 25.

Determined this would not be her fate, she developed her own coping mechanisms to control her flare-ups and found that food charting, hot and cold baths, self-massaging, stretching, and strength training were effective means of pain management. She began to deny medications in her teens and always knew there was a better way.

Black developed a love for sports and became a competitive athlete – tumbling, dancing, and cheering throughout college and by her early twenties she was teaching 20+ fitness classes a week.

Using herself as a guinea pig, she discovered that the structural limitations in her body that were causing her intense pain were due to constrictions in the “sheets” of connective tissue – fascia – that connect, penetrate, envelope, and surround every organ, joint, muscle, and system of the body. Utilizing her personal experience, experimentations, research and sheer will, Black developed a fusion of soft tissue therapy, fascia stretching, body mechanics, and core activation techniques to bring a holistic approach to wellness, sports performance, and recovery. Her original insights contributed to the creation of a new realm of science: Fasciology™.

Ashleyʼs mission is to advance the science and make sure that all her knowledge is captured and carried on by Fasciologist™ after she has transitioned from this physical world. In order to accomplish this, Ashley believes that she needs to reach the “tipping point” of mass acceptance. She plans to do this acquiring 10+ million followers and customers, expand to the global market, establish a college curriculum and train her predecessors. She plans to back this effort by presenting the ground breaking fascia research at major global medical conferences and compelling other scientists to take her tools and methods and apply them to vast areas of the healing sciences in ongoing research. She also plans to develop game changing documentaries for the general public to have the truth about fascia revealed. Please join us in sharing our knowledge and products with everyone you know.
