Gentle, Effective Care Using Fascial Counterstrain Therapy
When we experience trauma—such as physical injuries (sprains, tendinopathies, bursitis, overuse injuries, or post-surgery recovery), emotional stress, or immune-related challenges—the body responds with inflammation, a natural process that begins healing. If inflammation is intense, prolonged, or layered over previous injuries, healing can become delayed or disrupted. In response, the body may guard itself, causing muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and even organs to tighten reflexively. These protective tensions can persist, creating widespread tenderness and dysfunction.
Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) is a gentle, hands-on technique that addresses these underlying sources of pain and dysfunction. Using precise positioning and light compression, FCS releases deep fascial restrictions in muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and organs. This reduces strain, calms protective reflexes, and restores healthy circulation and lymphatic flow.
Through Fascial Counterstrain, the body is supported to support natural healing, reduce pain, and maintain long-term wellness.
