Defeat Pain with Fascial Counterstrain
Has your pain been resistant to other treatments? Neuro-fascial release may be the answer. Fascia connects you from head to toe and is a main source of pain and dysfunction.
How Fascial Counterstrain Works
A gentle, powerful approach to relieving chronic pain and restoring function.
Fascial Counterstrain drains the "swampy" areas of your body—areas with trapped inflammation and swelling (Interstitial Inflammatory Stasis) that keep your pain receptors firing and lead to acute and chronic dysfunction.
Once a tender point is located, the body is gently placed into specific positions of ease that have been clinically identified to alleviate tension and tenderness. This treatment position is maintained for up to 90 seconds, allowing regional inflammation to gradually dissipate.
Research has shown that Counterstrain produces a 46% reduction in inflammatory markers (IL-6) within 24 hours, demonstrating its powerful effects at the cellular level.
