Fascial Counterstrain

Fascia is a structural component of every body system. Fascial counterstrain facilitates the lymphatic drainage of trapped inflammation. This reduces pain and stress on the autonomic nervous system which supports regulation of our immune system as well as our fight or flight responses. You can read here for a full description of what fascial counterstrain is. And you can read the science behind fascial counterstrain in Tuckey et al’s research, published in 2021.

What to expect in a counterstrain session

• Short conversation about what you’re experiencing

• My initial impression of what we’ll be able to address through fascial counterstrain based on my current level of training and your needs.

• Fascial counterstrain is done fully clothed. Wearing comfortable, soft clothing is helpful.

• You’ll sit on a massage table and move between a seated position and lying down throughout the session
