How Fascial Counterstrain works

Fascial Counterstrain corrects an overactive stretch reflex. This abnormal reflex causes muscle cells to contract constantly instead of just when it is needed. Waste products build up in the muscle and create tender points, which can be found not only in muscles and joints, but in all the systems of the body including nerves, arteries, and veins.

The treatment has helped those with conditions that had previously failed physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, injections, or medications. It can help people with degenerative changes in their anatomy that may be visible on an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan.

Fascial Counterstrain has been used to facilitate healing for a variety of conditions:

  • Acute pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Bulging discs
  • Headaches
  • Heel spurs
  • Muscle strains
  • Sports injuries
  • Myofascial pain
  • Lyme disease
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tendinitis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Jaw pain
  • Whiplash
  • Ankle sprains

 

What I can expect after Fascial Counterstrain treatment?

Many conditions respond favorably to Fascial Counterstrain. Clients usually experience less tenderness, less pain, and restored quality of movement immediately following treatment. It is possible for a small percentage of people to experience soreness for 1-2 days following counterstrain therapy due to the release of waste products from tender points.

REAL Customer Testimonials & Reviews

I can now wash windows and rake leaves with more energy and freedom! My shoulder now allows me to apply enough pressure to write long hand! I can’t really describe it, but my insides also feel more freed! Janell commented that sometimes my adrenals and my sluggish lymph were being addressed. I chose not to mention my aching hand joints because there were bigger areas of need in my right shoulder and spine. Wouldn’t you know it, one day the cranial scan came up needing to address my lymphatics. Turned out that some of the dysfunction was caught in those knuckles, contributing to the shoulder bu...
