Precision Therapy CS uses a technique called Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) which releases tight fascia throughout the body. Fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every nerve, vein, artery, organ, bone and muscle in place. Fascia has nerve endings, making it almost as sensitive as skin. Although fascia looks like one sheath of tissue, it’s actually made up of multiple layers with liquid in between. Fascia is designed to stretch as you move, but it can tighten and dry up once you have dysfunction. When this happens it can limit mobility and cause painful knots to develop.

What makes FCS different from most other techniques is its indirect approach to releasing tension. Most techniques use force to release tension/pain. Some examples include: deep tissue massage, cupping, intense stretching, or even foam rolling. FCS works with the body by tightening the knots even more until the body chooses to relax. As of a result of the gentle approach FCS uses, there is little to no pain during treatment, while the patient still sees great results in reduced pain, increased range of motion and decreased tightness. The concept of Fascial Counterstrain was first developed in 1950 by Lawrence Jones D.O. The practice has continued to progress since then, turning into a technique that has helped thousands with their pain and dysfunction.
