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.
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.
