In today's episode, we talk to Dr. Holly Milligan, the leading Counterstrain specialist in Kansas and the only Counterstrain specialist in Wichita. She brings her years of experience and knowledge of Counterstrain to explaining the deeper body work that can be done to release things we store in the body as a result of trauma, stress, and body imbalances.

A description of Counterstrain (taken from the Jones Institute): "As a general overview, Counterstrain utilizes diagnostic tender points to identify painful, reflexively protected and contracted tissues. Reflex tissue contractions occur in the body’s deep fascia layers, skeletal muscle tissues and or smooth muscle structures in response to a variety of mechanical or chemical insults. Examples include trauma, surgery, postural strain, repetitive motion, infectious or viral conditions, even secondary to a long-term inflammatory diet. This form of reflex muscular dysfunction, once present, can contribute to a multitude of symptoms and conditions. Some examples include musculoskeletal conditions in all regions of the body, chronic edema, weakness, digestive dysfunction, neuropathies, endocrine dysfunction, migraine and non-migraine headaches, visual disturbances, tachycardia, CRPS, peripheral arterial disease, balance disorders, seizures, tinnitus, depression, impaired immune system function, even systemic conditions like fibromyalgia."
