Origins Physical Therapy, LLC

Origins Physical Therapy is a solo practice giving 1 on 1 care for 60 minutes with an integrative full body approach for treatment of all causes of chronic pain but particular interest with pain and dysfunction associated with Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome ( hEDS) and or hypermobile spectrum disorders (HSD). Origins PT utilizes a multi system approach to treat the body with Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) being the main intervention used. Fascial Counterstrain is a gentle manual technique that can treat fascia in every system in the body. Fascia is on muscles, tendons and ligaments but it is also on bone, organs, veins, arteries and peripheral and nerves in the central nervous system. With pain and dysfunction the body can trap inflammation and create tenderpoints throughout the body. Origins PT will assess the body and identify the areas of pain through a comprehensive diagnostic assessment and identify the areas of dysfunction. FCS is performed by gently gliding the tissues in a pain-free direction to drain the trapped inflammation which in turn helps decrease pain, improve ROM, calm the nervous system, improve blood flow and lymphatic restrictions and thus improve function, strength and overall resiliency in the body. Gentle strength training is also addressed in line with the patient’s goals.
