Fascial counterstrain is an innovative method for pain relief.
Fascia is found everywhere in the human body. This vital connective tissue covers all nerves, arteries, veins, and internal organs. When the body experiences a painful condition, the fascia is triggered by inflammation of the fascia.
Facial counterstrain addresses the root cause of a condition to provide symptom relief. This effective technique enables the body to begin the healing process. Fascial dysfunction, inflammation, and spasms can all be prevented by involving simple exercises and therapeutic methods.

What is Fascial Counterstrain?
Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) is a manual, hands-on method that physical therapists use to release spasms in all human body tissues. When you experience an injury, your body’s organs, nerves, arteries, and muscles can actively spasm and produce pain in a protective response. This reflex spasm can spread and develop hundreds of sensitive spots after it has started. FCS releases the tissue spasms and the tender points by gently unloading the injured structure.
How Does Fascial Counterstrain Work?
Fascial counterstrain is a therapeutic release produced by gently compressing the stressed structure. This innovative technique utilizes tender spots in the body to target reflexive muscle guarding. FCS is useful for various conditions, such as postural strain, chronic edema, neuropathies, migraines, and more.
