We offer three levels of Fascial Counterstrain care, based on the clinician’s training and the complexity of your symptoms. This tiered system helps ensure you are matched with the provider best suited to your needs.

Tier 1 Counterstrain: Foundational Care for New or Straightforward Concerns

​Tier 1 appointments focus on general and more superficial fascial restrictions. These sessions are ideal for new clients, recent injuries, or uncomplicated pain and mobility issues. The goal is to reduce discomfort, improve movement, and establish a strong starting point for care.

​Tier 2 Counterstrain: Deeper Care for Chronic or Complex Issues

Tier 2 appointments involve a more detailed assessment and treatment of longer-standing or multi-layered conditions. This level is well suited for clients with chronic symptoms, multiple areas of concern, or those who need a deeper level of care beyond Tier 1.

Advanced Facial Counterstrain: Specialized Care for Persistent or Complex Conditions

Advanced appointments are designed for clients with ongoing or highly complex symptoms that have not fully resolved with Tier 1 or Tier 2 care. These sessions address deep and interconnected fascial restrictions using advanced techniques.

​Due to the complexity of care, Advanced Facial Counterstrain appointments are scheduled through our office to ensure you are matched with our most advanced Counterstrain clinicians. To schedule or to determine if this level is appropriate for you, please call (262) 292-4383 or email info@gatewaytherapiesllc.com.

If you’re unsure which level of care is right for you, we’re happy to help. Contact our team and we’ll guide you toward the appointment option that best fits your needs.

I’ve spent the last several years practicing in an outpatient orthopedic setting. I took my first course in fascial counterstrain in 2019 and was amazed by its effectiveness.

I have lived in West Bend with my husband and two kids for the past five years. We enjoy lots of family time outside taking walks, grilling out and the occasional camping trip. I enjoy being a full-time mom to my kiddos. When I do have free time, I like to bake, read books, and drink a good cup of coffee.

I began my jouney into fascial counterstrain after having treatments myself for chronic back pain. I immediately became amazed at the success of the treatments.

I found a great passion for the field and kept taking classes and became inspired to join the team at Gateway Therapies.

Foundations (F1), Lymphatic-Venous System 1 (LV1), Lymphatic-Venous System 2 (LV2), Muscular Skeletal System: Spinal Ligaments & Myochains (MSK-SL), The Musculoskeletal System: Periosteum (MSK-P)
