Since becoming a physical therapist I have always looked for the most effective and impactful treatments for my patients. Among other things this led me to a certification in joint manipulation and specialization in muscle training. With each new technique I found myself more effective in helping my patients reach their goals.
However, I was completely unprepared for the profound changes I would see with Counterstrain. Using just the content from the Introduction to Fascial Counterstrain course I was suddenly helping patients faster than I ever had and in some cases improving symptoms I never dreamt of changing. I was hooked immediately and have been striving for excellence in Counterstrain ever since.
I’ve beena PT for 10 years and practicing counterstrain for 9 of those years.
Jolene’s love of problem solving, taking a full-body approach to injuries, and helping people become the best they can be led her to grasp onto the holistic nature and amazing results of the Counterstrain method. She loves to educate people so that they truly understand what is happening in their body to produce their symptoms and thereby be an active participant in complete recovery. Her motto is “total body balance” where all the systems of the body can function as they were originally designed to do – becoming a resilient, self-sufficient, self-healing machine!
Jolene graduating from UW-Madison in 1987, then moved to Colorado to explore the Rockies and start her career as a physical therapist. Through out her many years as a PT, she treasures the variety of experiences that have shaped her into the PT she is today. After her first job in a hospital setting, she moved into corporate fitness where she followed employee injuries from the moment they happened to full return to work duties. She taught WELL BACK schools, designed the COORS Back Conditioning Program, did FCEs, then went onto sports rehab and fitness facilities, back conditioning/ Med Ex clinics, managed a physical performance testing lab for work comp injuries and high-end athletes, did home care, worked in nursing home settings, and private practice clinics, eventually owned her own business as a consultant to Health clubs, and in utilization management for insurance groups. All this led up to her fulfilling her dream of opening her own outpatient clinic in 2014 in Hudson, Wisconsin, Daulton Physical Therapy and Fitness, LLC, Daulton Physical Therapy has grown to train and employ 7 amazing PT counterstrainers, and is currently the MIDWEST TRAINING HUB for Fascial Counterstrain.
She and her husband Ron, not quite yet empty-nesters, have 7 wonderful children that they enjoy spending time with –at the family cabin, taking family trips, cook-outs at home, and church activities. When she can find personal time, she likes to weight train, bike, hike, kayak, cook, read, and ….attend courses! She has continued her love of learning throughout her career with well over 1000 hours of post-graduate credits in specialty coursework in physical therapy.
Jessica Farrell PT, DPT, OCS graduated from the University of Washington Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2009. She was drawn to the physical therapy profession as an opportunity to help people get back on their feet after illness or injury through holistic methods. She was fortunate to be introduced to Counterstrain during her internships while still in school and then to work with others practicing this technique when she started working as a PT. Some of her first continuing education classes were studying Counterstrain with the Jones Institute. Once Jessica experienced the astounding potential of the technique, she decided to set herself on a path to develop a high-level of proficiency. She is grateful that Fascial Counterstrain allows her to help people who have not found success in other treatment options and to approach even very complex patients with confidence. Jessica is an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and has worked in women’s health for over ten years. When not at work Jessica enjoys outdoor adventures such as mountain biking, rafting and kayaking as well as spending time with her family.
Hi Anne here,

I have passion for Fascial Counterstrain. I enjoy working with clients to have them feel better using these great techniques.
I continue my education through The Jones Institute and the Counterstrain Academy and Conventions.
I would love to work with you.
