O’Brien’s Signature Treatments

Fascial Counterstrain Therapy in La Crosse

At O’Brien Physical Therapy & Wellness, we offer Fascial Counterstrain (FCS)—a gentle, non-invasive manual therapy that targets the body’s deepest sources of dysfunction. Using precise palpation and positioning techniques, FCS helps relieve pain, restore motion, and support the nervous, vascular, and immune systems.

What to Expect During a Session

Fascial Counterstrain is unlike traditional physical therapy or massage—it’s incredibly gentle, yet highly specific. Here’s what a typical session includes:



  1. Your therapist identifies “tender points” that indicate dysfunction in fascia, nerves, vessels, or organs
  2. Gentle decompression techniques are applied to reduce tension in the targeted tissue
  3. There’s no pain, no pressure, and no aggressive stretching—just subtle, hands-on guidance that allows the body to release
  4. Many patients feel deeply relaxed and may notice immediate changes in mobility or pain levels
  5. Long-term relief can often be achieved in just a few sessions


FCS is safe, soothing, and incredibly effective for delicate or chronic cases.
