I swallow nervously.
Black’s manual treatments are in hot demand among professional athletes, business titans, and celebrities. But it was her desire to help the rest of us that led her to invent the FasciaBlaster —and if her legions of loyal followers are any indication, she’s onto something. Devotees use their FasciaBlasters—plastic clawed batons that look like the love children of a self pleasure accessory and some kind of medieval torture device—as a cure-all for everything from back pain and fibromyalgia to unwanted inches, saggy skin, saddlebags, scarring, and wrinkles . Some are even reporting hair regrowth. You heat up problem areas with exercise, sauna, or a heating pad, and then briskly rub them with the FasciaBlaster for three to five minutes, a few times a week.
Black, who blasts five days a week in order to “keep moving,” is working on her next book, which will focus on back pain, and hopes to open comprehensive Fasciology centers in New York and Los Angeles next year. Still, she doesn’t want women to look to her as their overall health model. “I’d love to be a size 2 and have no body fat, but I like food and vodka a little too much,” she says, chuckling.
