We use a hands on approach to identify the source of the bodies movement dysfunction using Strain Counterstrain. Strain Counterstrain utilizes diagnostic tender points to identify painful, reflexively protected and contracted tissues. Reflexive tissue contractions occur in the body’s deep fascia layers, skeletal muscle tissues, and/or smooth muscle structures in response to a variety of mechanical or chemical insults. Examples include trauma, surgery, postural strain, repetitive motion, infectious or viral conditions, and even inflammatory diets. Once present, this form of reflex muscular dysfunction can contribute to a multitude of symptoms and corresponding movement dysfunctions that impact Quality of Life.
Kings Peak Orthopedic Physical Therapy uses Strain Counterstrain to remove painful, reflexive tissue contractions from the body via a gentle hands-on process of placing the affected tissue in the maximum relaxed position. Because there is no stress placed on the involved tissues the treatment is painless. Strain Counterstrain’s powerful, multi-system effects occur from a deactivation of deep fascial pain receptors (nociceptors) which maintain the body’s soft tissues in a persistent guarded or “over-protective” state. During treatment, there is a palpable reduction in tissue tenderness and tension with resulting immediate improvement in quality of movement. When combined with functional neuromuscular retraining exercises designed to correct abnormal movement patterns, Strain Counterstrain unparalleled carry-over. Many patients report lasting relief combined with improved quality of life after only one or two treatment sessions—a testament to how Strain Counterstrain works.
