Welcome to Vibrant Health & Wellness! Helping people understand and care for their bodies is my top priority. I’d love to contribute to the success of your overall health & wellbeing through Fascial Counterstrain.

I am a Physical Therapist with 25+ years of experience, specializing in Fascial Counterstrain, and practicing in a wellness setting, which emphasizes balance across all of life’s pillars to achieve optimal health and well being. My skill set includes all of the systems currently available including: Visceral, Arterial, Lymphatic-Venous, Musculoskeletal 1, 2, & 3; Nerve 1, 2, and all four traditional Jones courses, as well as completing Mod 1 for mastery of the cranial scan; and in process Mod 2 advanced Lymphatic training.

Fascial Counterstrain identifies the SOURCE(s) of pain, then restores ease and comfort to your body, rather than painful bind and restriction. Objective improvements are often immediate and sustainable. Outcomes are unique to each individual, and a complete comprehensive plan of care is prescribed for optimal results.

Fascial Counterstrain is a highly skilled method that relies on a scan of all of the body’s systems in order to locate and treat the origin(s) of pain. It is based soundly in anatomy, and can be explained by the most recent explosion of scientific research on fascia. Because this technique identifies and treats the source of the problem(s), success rates tend to be very high, with often immediate and clinically observable results being produced from the very first session onward. I look forward to serving you at one of several office locations in southeastern Wisconsin.

Are you suffering from pain or dysfunction that limits you from doing what most love to do? The Fascial Counterstrain systems approach provides the resources needed to encourage even the most challenging of clients. Clinically observable effects of Fascial Counterstrain commonly include: decreased pain, decreased tenderness, decreased swelling, normalization of muscle tone, increased circulation; improved posture, improved proprioception, improved efficiency of muscle recruitment patterns, increased range of motion, improved strength, and improved functional performance.

Ben has been utilizing Counterstrain since 2013, and it was in that first year that he became a full convert to this powerful treatment approach. After being a victim of a car accident, leaving him with both a concussion and musculoskeletal pain, Counterstrain proved itself to be singularly effective in recovery. His direct experience with a relief and healing that was not achieved with chiropractic, massage, or acupuncture sent him on a path to master this unique therapy. Benjamin’s has honed his intuitive and holistic approaches through years of applying Eastern modalities of bodywork. However, it is with the gentle precision of Fascial Counterstrain that he creates powerful healing treatments for individuals looking to overcome pain, optimize their performance, and deepen their connection with their health and body.

Lory’s introduction to Counterstrain was before starting graduate school. She observed the quick and positive impact of Counterstrain on patient’s symptoms while assisting at a rehabilitation facility. This was the motivation to earning her DPT at University of Southern California in 2009. She immediately went on to receive a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2012. She has completed all the most current Fascial Counterstrain courses through the Jones Institute and utilizes this technique as the foundation of her manual therapy practice at InBalance AcuPT. Lory has a passion for understanding the human body and is constantly reaching towards perfecting her skills as a practitioner. Naturally, Lory continues on the path to mastering Counterstrain through Counterstrain Academy.
