Kelly Martin, LMT
Kelly Martin is a Licensed Massage Therapist in Elizabethville, Pennsylvania. She owns and operates her private business, Grounded Wellness Care LLC, focusing on providing Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) to surrounding areas of Pennsylvania. Kelly appreciates the opportunity to learn and apply FCS knowledge to help her patients achieve better health through bodywork.
She has served in various medical and first responder roles since 2007. She earned her Associates Degree in 2015 from Copper Mountain College, Joshua Tree, CA. Kelly served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 2017 to 2021. She was injured on a combat fitness test in 2019 and her doctors were not seeing symptom improvement enough to stay on active duty safely. No doctor could make sense of her injuries or symptoms, but Brian did utilizing FCS. His work on her inspired her to help others in the same way, to give hope in healing to those who have been given up on by the traditional medical community. Kelly reentered the medical field by earning her Massage Therapy education through Harrisburg Area Community College in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 2023 with the goal of becoming a Fascial Counterstrainer. While still early in her FCS career, she studies hard, practices a lot, and is dedicated to furthering her knowledge and experience to help others heal.

Kyerin Cubos, LMT
Helping people alleviate chronic pain, improve performance, and achieve lasting weight loss through advanced manual therapy, personalized movement strategies and emotional wellness coaching.
I use Fascial Counterstrain as a base diagnostic to understand where someone is at and to prepare their body for whatever they want to do performance wise. Whether that is athletics, weekend warrior activities or being able to play with the grandkids or go up and down stairs without pain or being out of breath.
