Fascial Counterstrain in Melbourne’s northern suburbs – Tried everything and still in pain?

I’m Georges Adam of Body Motion Therapy, a Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) practitioner. I use light touch and careful positioning to look for what may be adding to your pain, and I treat it gently. Results vary.

I’m a solo practitioner, so you will see me at every visit.

Your first visit

What your initial consultation looks like

The initial consultation is 60 minutes, so there’s time to talk and ask questions. Tell me straight away if anything doesn’t feel right and I’ll adjust.

See the four steps
1

We talk

You tell me what’s been going on and what you’ve already tried.

2

I assess

I assess your spine and the body’s other structures to find what may be contributing: a nerve, artery, vein, joint or fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, nerves, blood vessels and organs).

3

Gentle treatment

Light, supported positioning. Where it suits you, I may add dry needling or other remedial techniques, depending on how you present. No forceful cracking, no deep scraping. I check in with you throughout.

4

Next steps

I explain what I found and what I’d suggest. Responses vary, so I can’t predict the number of sessions before assessing you.

Services

Hands-on care, matched to you

Fascial Counterstrain is my main focus. I add other treatments only when they suit you.

I have been in pain with sciatica for over a year now. I’ve tried myotherapist, chiropractors and massage and nothing seemed to help. One session with George and I already feel a whole lot better. I would highly recommend George and look forward to my next appointment.
