Conditions Treated


 

At first glance, the range of conditions we address may seem unusually broad—extending into areas often treated within traditional medicine. Yet research continues to show that inflammation plays a central role in the vast majority of disease processes, contributing to pain, stiffness, and dysfunction across multiple body systems. Fascial Counterstrain targets these underlying inflammatory and mechanical tensions within the body’s connective tissue networks. By releasing restricted or irritated structures, this approach helps restore circulation, nerve function, and mobility—reducing local inflammation and improving how the affected tissues, organs, and systems perform.

 

Musculoskeletal & Chronic Pain

  • Chronic joint or muscle pain

  • Tendinitis or bursitis (chronic or recurrent)

  • Frozen shoulder / adhesive capsulitis

  • Neck, back, shoulder, or hip pain

  • Sciatica or sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

  • Tailbone pain (coccydynia)

  • IT band syndrome, knee or foot/ankle pain

  • TMJ dysfunction / jaw pain

  • Post-injury or post-surgical pain, instability, or stiffness

  • Osteoarthritis (any area)

  • Myofascial pain syndrome

 

Pelvic Health & Postpartum Recovery

  • Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction (pain, tightness, weakness)

  • Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, mixed) or urgency/frequency

  • Painful bladder syndrome / interstitial cystitis (IC)

  • Vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, vaginismus, or dyspareunia

  • Postpartum core healing (diastasis recti, abdominal scar restriction)

  • Pelvic girdle pain (SI joint or pubic symphysis) and coccyx pain

  • Post-surgical support (abdominal or pelvic) and scar mobility

Digestive, Breathing & Circulatory Concerns

  • IBS, bloating, constipation or irregular bowel movements

  • GERD / reflux / gastritis

  • Abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia (APD)

  • Breathing restrictions (shallow or restricted breath, chest or rib tightness, diaphragmatic tension)

  • Numbness or tingling in hands/feet (peripheral neuropathy)

  • Circulatory and swelling issues (edema, poor venous return)

 

Neurological & Autonomic Support

  • Concussion or post-concussion symptoms

  • Dizziness / vertigo / imbalance

  • Thoracic outlet syndrome or nerve compression

  • Trigeminal neuralgia or facial pain

  • Whiplash or head/neck injuries

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome / autonomic nervous system imbalance

  • Post-infection or autoimmune-related pain and inflammation

 

Whole-Body Wellness & Recovery

  • Chronic pain of unclear origin

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Post-surgical healing and scar recovery

  • Sports injury prevention and post-event care

  • Balance and postural wellness

  • Adrenal and endocrine support through fascial regulation


By releasing protective reflexes and inflammatory restrictions within the body’s connective tissues, Fascial Counterstrain helps restore balance across multiple systems—supporting recovery from pain, movement limitations, and a variety of chronic or complex conditions.
