Counterstrain
Treat the cause, not the symptoms with Fascial Counterstrain
“Over the last 39 Years I’ve had the privilege of working with more than 50 million people in over 100 countries. The demands I have put on my body for those decades are a bit crazy. As a result I suffered debilitating physical pain for years. I tried virtually every form of body work before meeting Brian Tuckey and his team of Fascial Counterstrain practitioners. This work and it’s proprietary multi system approach, has alleviated my symptoms and enabled me to perform at the highest level. The technique is gentle, painless and yields instant results which can only be described as miraculous at times. I highly recommend this technique to anyone who wishes to maximize their physical performance and feel it will soon revolutionize not only the world of chronic pain but also athletic performance and recovery.”

Episode 1 introduces Brian’s academic background which led to the eventual development of Fascial Counterstrain. Episode 2 dives deeper into Brian’s process of discovering the role of fascia in the body and the development of new treatments.
I’ve benefitted from each of the treatment sessions…

I have been blessed to be associated with Brian and his associates for about 20 years now in one capacity or another. But, today I’m writing to provide testimonials on two levels, both as a patient and as a clinician.
I’ve been treated by Brian and his associates as well as having taken 3 of the Counterstrain courses in the past several years. Subjectively, I’ve benefitted from each of the treatment sessions, but especially the most recent 6 I received from Brian, Karen and Cynde from November thru December 2017.
I’ve been using the Counterstrain techniques in the homes of a number of patients for a variety of conditions and even with my limited knowledge and skill have been able to relieve pain and restore function for those who have been restricted to their home environment due to their medically compromised conditions. The best part is that the benefits obtained have remained after completion of the home therapy. The patients have been fortunate to have you to turn to for further help.
Thank you (all) for your dedication to learning and teaching. I plan to continue to practice Counterstrain after I stop working in the home care environment.

Thank you!
I never thought PT would help my migraines, but it did. I used to average at least 2 migraines a month for almost a decade, but I have been migraine-free for over 18 months and it has changed my life. ThankRead more “Thank you!”

Each and everyday I am beyond grateful for the tireless work and commitment from Karen at Tuckey & Associates, who truly has changed my life! After years of suffering from endometriosis and after multiple surgeries, I presented Karen with a complex range of symptoms that gave me daily pain, restricted my physical activity and over a period of time became very mentally exhausting! I knew immediately upon starting a series of cranial counter strain sessions that this was going to be a success. Having tried so so many other “physical therapies” and “myofascial release” I knew this made total sense and it would work. What I didn’t anticipate was the commitment both Karen and I would need to see this through to the end – we persevered for many months. Having not exercised or done any level of physical activity for 2 years, I am now exercising at least 3 times a week and have no limitations. I can 150% give credit to Karen for that HUGE transformation.

I drove 50 miles to see him yesterday after visiting a popular specialist who was totally condescending and dismissive. It was so worth the drive. He was patient, kind, intelligent, and explained everything he was thinking and yes- his hands really are like magic. It’s incredible to see what a few simple movements can do! I was so amazed I talked my poor husband’s head off about how fascinating Tuckey’s work was and how nice it feels to be working with a competent and kind person in the medical field.

Dear Brian,
For months I have been thinking about how to tell you thank you. I know you understand what you do works. But I still feel compelled to tell you, it does! The last 6 months have been nothing short of miraculous. Except I know and believe that it is like you said to me “God gave these hands wisdom”. What a special, specific answer to years of prayer! I pray to the Lord so long to give wisdom to understand this body he created. It seemed to be beating me up! How awesome that he was answering those prayers teaching you all those years. Now when my body was ready to receive healing you were ready administer what you had learned.
Here are a few things I have been experiencing since my treatment with you in July. For starters I was amazed when I returned home and walked the 2 flights of stairs from my garage to my kitchen without a second thought of falling, missing a step
or being out of breath! I burst out laughing when I got to the top saying to my husband “Did you see that? I didn’t even have to try to get up the stairs!!” He laughed and said “wow, okay good job, I guess I didn’t realize it had been such an effort!” That was just the beginning of many things to follow that I would get super excited to not have to put SO much effort into thinking about everyday functions. It was hard for others to understand the healing I’ve experienced because I guess I had gotten good at pretending pretty well to do things normally. But on the inside life has been such a struggle to function. For weeks after your treatment I was explaining that all my body movements were kind of like getting used to a new glasses prescription. Literally has felt like I have been given a new body!
One crazy thing that I noticed within a week of getting home, none of my shoes fit right anymore. Every pair felt like I had gotten them from a second hand store or garage sale.
I went shopping. 😊👟
The Dyslexia has improved greatly! I can memorize number sequences, read and retain words and music so much better and faster. I’m actually studying a second language and it is going well!
I am relaxed in my work. I’m no longer stressed about getting so behind or having too much success because my health will let me and others down.
I didn’t climb the 14er in Colorado. Was lead to just enjoy feeling amazing and not push my body to the max anymore to survive. But I did hike some waterfalls and it was amazing! Every time I hike I get the giggles because I can feel the weight in both my feet now. I’m not so exhausted one half of my body doing all the work dragging the other half along. I’m not constantly afraid of falling on my face anymore.
A year ago I wouldn’t even been able to even tell you that was what my body was doing. The best explanation I could come up with then was ” part of my body feels like wood sometimes “.
I’ve not even come close to having a Lymes seizure/episode since July!!
My food allergies went from 86 to 26
24 severe to 4! This is so huge!
Also you were right about being able to look at past trauma differently. It doesn’t hurt me anymore. Relationships are healing too.
Wonderful that music is back in my life. Not just playing the piano. I have a voice!!! Who knew!? That last thing you did on my vocal chords released so much!! Maybe the chord wrapped around my neck at birth, maybe the trauma of abuse and being told my voice would kill others. Maybe all the things. But I have a voice and I’m going to praise God with it as long as he gives me breath!! I started voice lessons with my son in August and told my teacher it was for my son, I have a very weak voice. She wholeheartedly disagreed with me and has been showing me how untrue that is. I’m having so much fun!
There are many more things that keep improving over time. Habits are changing and I’m learning and improving new ones.
I don’t guess I have the words to truly thank you fully. But I praise God for you constantly. Thank you for listening as he gave you wisdom. Keep doing that please!
This is the best way I can sum this up:
Because you and the Fascia Counterstrain treatment are God’s answer to my years of prayers… I’m living! The past is there, the future is there and I am right here in this moment with a heart full of thanksgiving!
I appreciate you!

My wife, a patient of Brian Tuckey’s, recommended that I see Tuckey for my achy knees and lower legs, a condition with which I’d suffered after growing 10 inches in a year as a teenager. (My knees crunched when I moved, and legs ached, also hurt when I went to bed.) Brian Tuckey examined me, was familiar with my symptoms. He treated me once – no more leg pain. I also had lower back issues that I had been living with for years, and could not keep up with my wife doing yardwork. Again, Tuckey examined and treated me. After 4 visits, I felt much better. A couple of weeks later my wife and I were working in the yard, cleaning up our fence line so it could be painted. After working about 6 or 7 hours, we relaxed on the patio. I realized only then that I had not need to stop once to rest – I now feel, quite literally, years younger than my actual age of 65. I cannot say enough about the care and treatment I received at Tuckey and Associates. I always recommend this office to all of my friends and relatives

This place, time and again, has been a work of miracles for me. Truly, Frederick’s diamond in the rough, as not many states are lucky enough yet, to have physical therapists who practice Brian Tuckey’s successful Strain Counterstrain modality of physical therapy treatment. I began with Brian, and continued her being treated by PT assistant Tracy (no longer there), Chris, Cindy, and Karen. My latest two visits, I was blessed to meet Laura, another amazing practitioner of this PT modality, who has come to work there for the past two Summers, then returns to FL when the Summer season ends. I highly recommend all of them, whichever you can get in with, as they always have the scheduling book filled. They also now have an amazing acupuncturist, named Bailey, that works Mondays and Wednesdays. I have has several sessions with her, and loved each one! I love this place!! The whole place is full of positive energy, from the friendly and always accommodating Judy, at the front desk, the billing staff, to all of the wonderful PT practitioners who work there.
