Counterstrain (CS) is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the fascia in all tissues of the body, including nerve, ligament, tendon, bone, artery, vein/lymphatic, organ, and muscle. Fascia is now considered the largest organ of the human body. It is the fine connective tissue that surrounds and interconnects all systems within the body. This multi-system approach allows the body to heal more efficiently by releasing fascial dysfunction. It uses gentle body positioning and gliding that allows strained tissue to relax thus releasing tension leading to a reduction of inflammation and pain. This therapy is very helpful for patients in extreme pain because of its gentle nature. It is beneficial for chronic pain patients that have received traditional therapies previously without achieving results. Dr. Tara Caudle has harmonized this technique with traditional physical therapy to achieve remarkable results. Aspire relentlessly pursues exceptional care by a variety of means. We will always strive to find the therapies that work best for the patient. To learn more about CS click here.
