When you are injured, your body develops pockets of inflammation. This inflammation can be trapped in your body for months or years. Counterstrain is a therapeutic, hands-on technique based on anatomy that reduces inflammation by moving the affected body part into a position that increases circulation to an injured area to promote healing.
