Discover Fascial Counterstrain (also known as Strain Counterstrain)—a gentle, evidence-backed manual therapy at Genesis Health Wellness in Frederick and Hagerstown, Maryland. Pioneered by Dr. Lawrence Jones and advanced into a multisystem approach by Brian Tuckey, this technique uses precise tender points and passive positions of ease (held ~90 seconds) to interrupt protective spasms, restore proprioception, normalize blood flow, reduce inflammation, and reset overactive guarding reflexes—without force or stretching.

Backed by randomized trials and reviews showing significant pain reduction (e.g., >26% in low back cases), improved range of motion, decreased tender point sensitivity, better neuromuscular function, and enhanced outcomes when combined with exercise—for mechanical neck pain, chronic low back issues, myofascial syndromes, and more. Ideal for everyday maintenance: prevents micro-strains from desk work, posture woes, or gravity’s toll from escalating into chronic aches, while supporting holistic fascial health across musculoskeletal, vascular, neural, and lymphatic systems.

Experience low-risk, no-downtime relief that feels like a subtle reset—perfect for proactive wellness. Combined with massage, MLD, and high-intensity PEMF for amplified results.
