Fascia blasting treatments are now being offered at Pure Wellness Spa in Greer. What’s fascia blasting? Fascia blasting is a form of fascial manipulation. Fascia is the connective tissue that encases the entire body; sort of like a sausage casing, and it surrounds muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments and gives them shape. The process involves a hard plastic tool called the FasciaBlaster, which was invented by Ashley Black. The tools can be short or long sticks with little claws or feet attached to it; the body is “scrubbed” briskly to warmup and manipulate, which in turn, makes the fascia more pliable, flexible and smooth. Hence why Ashley Black says, “It’s not fat, it’s fascia.”

“I’m elated to bring a new service that will assist in recovery, pain relief, contouring and enhance total body movement,” said Atir Sveska-Sharpe, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist who works at Pure Wellness Spa in Greer. Pure Wellness Spa is also an herbal remedy boutique that offers vitamins and supplements and a variety of alternative health spa therapies that aid in healing, nourishing, cleansing and rejuvenating the whole body.
