Specialties
Our world class practitioners provide patients with true healing from chronic conditions using a cutting edge manual therapy called Fascial Counterstrain. Fascial Counterstrain is a soft tissue manipulation which is used to reduce swelling, restore normal blood flow and calm inflamed nerves by normalizing spinal cord reflexes. Using this technique, therapists can identify and correct the underlying cause of debilitating conditions and not just treat the surface symptoms. Our practitioners set the standard in treating causal dysfunction and helping our patients avoid the possibility of unnecessary medications and surgeries.
