This just popped up in my Facebook newsfeed about the FasciaBlaster...
This was posted by Public Citizen (a consumer advocacy non-profit) re: the FasciaBlaster...

Thank you for posting. More people need to be aware of the potential harm that can come from this device. The fact that this device ever got associated with true, authentic "fascia release" is quite upsetting.
There is a VERY good reason that Ashley Black won't release the finding of her "double blind (ha!) study" that she conducted in Tampa. And that is because the "study" was a complete and utter joke. I'm not even going to get into her shady business practices. Or the fact that she immediately BLOCKS anybody on her Facebook page who isn't a rabid fascia blaster cheerleader. Really, I could go on and on ... and on. But if you are interested, there is a VERY good, supportive closed group on Facebook where you can find a lot of scary and sad stories from women whose lives and health have been turned upside down as a result of using the device EXACTLY as Ashley instructed them to do (for cellulite and fat reduction). |

Maybe Ashley Black should have just promoted this item for pain management and just talked about cellulite reduction as an added potential side "perk", if you will. The fact that Lannette uses it on her clients for pain management and even uses it on herself for pain management leads me to believe that the product does have some merit. Unfortunately, Ashley marketed it wrong. She should not be encouraging pain or bruising. However, the article does not appear very balanced.

I have mixed feelings about the FB.
The before/after pictures on the facebook group are incredibly persuasive and while I'm sure the people who do have results are totally legit, there's not really any dissenting opinions or people discouraged after months with no change, which makes me conclude that it is heavily filtered/monitored. I was very gung ho over the wintertime and I didn't mind the bruising at first, but I could never get past a bruising phase, even with the bruise lotion, etc. which made me discouraged and stop doing it after a while. Especially since it became shorts season and I just didn't want to have to explain bruises. Also, I don't know if it's related or not, but not long after I started blasting my arms, I developed tennis elbow in my right arm. Don't get me wrong, I think the tennis elbow was waiting to happen due to my repetitive desk job motions, but I don't know if the knobs of the blaster exacerbated the area and put it over the edge. I'm not blaming the blaster, but it did make me become gun shy to keep pursuing it especially paired with my complaint of constant bruising (to be fair, I bruise easily). Three+ months later and I'm still recovering from the tennis elbow although it's improved significantly. However, I use it on my calves/shins fairly regularly and it feels fantastic, and rarely bruises. I definitely feel looser in this area and it's worth it for this purpose.
