Ashley Stansell Black is an American inventor and entrepreneur based in Houston, Texas, who is best known for inventing the fascia treatment tool FasciaBlaster.
Life and career[edit]
Black was born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1972.[citation needed] She attended Auburn University from 1990 to 1994 where she studied engineering.[citation needed] While studying at Auburn University, she worked for William Kazmaier at his KAZ Gym.[citation needed]
In 1998, Black opened a sports injury rehabilitation clinic TANK (Training Athletes Neuro Kinetically) in Houston, Texas. which she later expanded to include athletes and celebrities. Black eventually sold the clinic.[1][2]
In 2015, she invented and released the FasciaBlaster, a myofascial self-massage tool designed for rehab and fascia-care.[3][4][5][6][7] According to Black, the FasciaBlaster eradicated cellulite by temporarily increasing blood flow to affected areas.[8][9][10][11]
Black co-authored and published her own study of the FasciaBlaster and its effects.[citation needed] The study titled The effects of fascia manipulation with fascia devices on myofascial tissue, subcutaneous fat, and cellulite in adult women was published in Cogent Medicine.[12] After the study was published, a Facebook group claimed that the FasciaBlaster caused more harm than good.[13] The group sent claims about the device anonymously to the FDA, pursued two class action lawsuits for warranty and advertisement, and one personal injury lawsuit.[14][15] Eventually the lawsuits were dismissed by the court after the claims were evaluated.[16]
In February 2017, Black published her book "The Cellulite Myth (It’s Not Fat, It’s Fascia!)".[17][18] In 2022, she published her book "BE… From Passion and Purpose to Product and Prosperity" which she co-wrote with Korie Minkus and Lisa Vrancken.[19][20][21]
