what is counterstrain?

Counterstrain is a unique hands on technique that gently unwinds tension caused by protective responses of tissues in the body. It acknowledges the body’s innate intelligence to maintain function despite trauma, both physical and emotional. This technique is subtle, incredibly specific, painless, and provides a powerful sense of release. Counterstrain restores movement, function, and whole-person health. It treats the root cause of pain and disease, whether acute or chronic, and is limitless in its potential to heal. Counterstrain can help with conditions that have failed to respond to many other kinds of treatments because of its unique understanding of how trauma is held in the body.
