Fascial Counterstrain

Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) is a gentle manual therapy that relaxes the fascia, a connective tissue that can spasm and cause pain in response to injury or other factors. The therapist shortens the strained structure to release the tension and eliminate the pain. This is a powerful method of treatment.

Marcel Miura, a pioneer in Fascial Counterstrain, brings over 7 years of specialized training from the US to our North Vancouver Physiotherapy clinic, the only one in the city to offer this unique treatment. Featured in Tony Robbins' bestseller 'Life Force,' this modern hands-on technique effectively alleviates fascial strain, enhancing your body's healing process.

It's a gentle, non-invasive method that not only reduces pain but also improves movement and function. With hundreds of patients helped, Marcel's expertise in this main technique has proven to be transformative. It's a cornerstone in our commitment to your musculoskeletal health.
