Demonstration of Technique

Strain counterstrain is a manual therapy whereby the clinician uses only his own hands for the treatment of muscle and joint pain. He uses passive body positioning of hypertonic (spasmmed) muscles and dysfunctional joints toward positions of comfort or tissue ease that compress or shorten the offending muscle. The purpose of movement toward shortening is to relax aberrant reflexes that produce the muscle spasm forcing immediate reduction of muscle tone to normal levels. This allows the joints influenced by the now relaxed muscle to function optimally increasing their range of motion and easing muscle and joint pain. Strain Counter strain is an effective but extremely gentle technique because its action for treatment moves the patient's body away from the painful, restricted directions of motion.
