Dr Max Prinzi – After completing my university degrees, I learnt about Fascial Counterstrain, a gentle and highly effective technique that has truly transformed the way I practice.
What is Fascial Counterstrain – Modern day studies have found-inflammation is the root cause of pain, ailment and dysfunction.
Fascial Counterstrain works by relieving inflammation wherever it hides—whether in muscles, nerves, blood vessels, bones, or even organs—by carefully positioning the body into a state of ease.
“The results I see in my practice continue to inspire me every day”. – Dr Max Prinzi.
