Free 20 Min. Fascial Counterstrain

Cancellation Policy

Consent to Free Fascial Counterstrain Session Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) is a gentle, manual therapy technique that identifies and alleviates fascial restrictions in the body. Utilizing light hands-on contact, anatomical structures are identified, slackened and held for 30-40 seconds in order to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, increase range of motion and restore pain free function. FCS should not be performed over implantable medical devices such as stents or pacemakers. I will inform Brianna of any such devices I may have and any major surgeries or medical conditions that need to be considered prior to this session. Depending on the structures targeted, contact may involve the cranium (head), chest wall (through breast tissue,) abdomen, pelvis, pelvic floor and/or buttocks. I have the right to decline FCS to any area of my body that I do not feel comfortable with being touched. If I am uncomfortable with any aspect of FCS, I will advise Brianna in advance so that the session may be modified or so that I may be referred for alternative treatment. Risks: On some occasions patients report diffuse soreness, an increase in pain or a shifting of pain following a session. I understand this is a normal result of FCS at times as swelling and inflammation are released from the body. I have the right to refuse FCS to any area of the body. General Consent: By signing below, I hereby consent to a free session of FCS by Brianna Cardenas, DMSc, PA-C, ATC. I understand the expected benefits, alternatives and possible risks of discomfort, which may result from any form of manual therapy, including FCS treatment. I acknowledge and understand that there is no guarantee that the proposed session will improve my condition. I acknowledge that this free session does not establish a patient-healthcare provider relationship. If any post-session discomfort does not subside in 1-3 days, I agree to contact Brianna Cardenas DMSc, PA-C, ATC, for the purpose of evaluation and treatment. By proceeding, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the above language of this “Consent to Fascial Counterstrain” and that the benefits and risks of FCS have been explained to me. I hereby consent to Manual Therapy including Fascial Counterstrain.
