Your body tells your story
.  
The stress patterns, weaknesses, strength, and postures are unique for each individual based on their activity level and life journey.  
Why would one think that one approach would work for everyone.
 I believe in evidence based practice, but I also know that innovation and discovery come way ahead of the research.  I remember sitting in an update for hips and knees at the University of Washington,  the expert in knee cap pain announced that the research over the last 30 years had directed us in the wrong treatments!  I was so happy because my clinical experience was validated.  
As a clinician, we are both scientist and detective because we strive to find what helps our clients the most. 
Fascial Counterstrain is an innovative, new way to holistically and individually assess and treat dysfunction. 
​Fascial Counterstrain also aides in prevention by normalizing tissues and allowing the body to optimize the healing process.   Here at STRHC we LISTEN to you and your body and are dedicated to helping you on your journey to health and wellness.

Beaverton & Oregon City in-person locations
Telehealth Services for clients located in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, & West Virginia
Initial Evaluation and Treatment (90 minutes):  Comprehensive Physical Therapy evaluation which may include review of medical history, function, medications, supplements, vital signs, range of motion, strength, special tests, diet/nutrition, review of major body systems, allergies, soft tissue palpation, craniosacral rhythm, and the Counterstrain cranial scan.  Followed by individualized 1:1 treatment with the physical therapist.  No aides or assistants.

Follow up Appointments:  Choice of  60, 90, 120 minutes of treatment based on continual re-assessment of how your body is responding.  Since the fascia connects everything together, once you change one part of the system, the whole picture can change.  

Optimal information and results require a minimum of 4 visits.  
Please do not schedule an appointment if you are not willing to commit to at least 4 visits.  If your symptoms are relieved earlier than 4 visits then remaining visits will be cancelled.
Treatment follows what YOUR body needs.   Treatment is typically ONCE a week, to allow for your tissues to heal.  The exception is for multiple treatment areas or acute injuries and the frequency is greater to allow for the quickest recovery.  Exercises, functional movements and positioning will be addressed as needed.  

Chronic pain and dysfunction are complicated and this is a partnership between you and I to help you get well.  The feedback and information is vital to facilitate proper treatment and referrals to other health/wellness team members.  
Those who are committed to getting healthy will find that I am 110% on your side!
