Willy graduated from Fresno State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 1989. His interest in body work started after a serious motorcycle injury in 1979. Recovering from his own injuries lead to a path that included various methods of body and energy work. He is the founder and co-owner of Function & Action Physical Therapy in Clovis CA since 1993. The introduction to Counterstrain in 2014 was inspiring, finally a system that has a clear diagnostic tool, interventions that provide practitioner and patient with immediate feedback, along with outcomes not obtainable with other approaches. A couple of hours of treatment by Tim Hodges provided more relief and change than any other form of treatment applied since his initial injury and cemented his resolve to learn, master and teach others this wonderful approach. The Counterstrain Academy was the obvious choice as the fastest path to mastery of this constantly evolving method.

Tim has worked in the field of physical rehabilitation since 1996. He has spent the last 16 years honing his skills in the clinical application of Fascial Counterstrain and the last 10 years designing and optimizing training programs renowned for producing highly-skilled practitioners. Tim has worked as an assistant instructor with the Jones Institute since 2004, where he earned his board level certification. He is one of two instructors certified by Brian Tuckey, PT to teach Fascial Counterstrain and has helped to develop many of the techniques used today. He continues to apply his expertise in the field through private treatment at Counterstrain Portland, developing the Counterstrain Academy mastery program curriculum and instruction manuals and through the mentorship of healthcare practitioners in the Counterstrain Academy, which now offers its mastery program training in multiple locations throughout the country.

As the founder of 360 Physical Therapy, it has been Ike’s purpose in life to provide healing care to those who have been injured and are in pain.
