That Was Not A Muscle: How Counterstrain is Transforming My Pain Therapy Practice - Paperback
Description
by Izzy Sanchez (Author)
Are our innate healing mechanisms failing?
That seems to be the prevailing conclusion when pain and dysfunction persist despite treatment-or when they appear seemingly out of nowhere. This enigma is what drove Israel "Coach Izzy" Sanchez on a journey from Strength and Conditioning into Manual Therapy Medicine.
Coach Izzy explains why and how he immersed himself in the relatively new and lesser-known field of Counterstrain during a pivotal stage in its evolution. Through this training, he came to understand that our healing mechanisms are not failing; rather, they can become stuck in a protective loop.
He also explores the scientific and theoretical rationale behind Fascial Counterstrain (FCS), breaking down complex concepts into clear, digestible insights. This not only helps us understand how a common component of the healing process may contribute to chronic pain, dysfunction, and conditions that seem to arise without warning, but also equips those interested in exploring FCS as a therapeutic modality-or even as a career path.
