You can request education on exercises to help maintain these improvements as well. This technique blends well with all of our other offerings to help improve your state of wellness.

Jonathan Eaton, PT

Jonathan Eaton, PT, graduated from Old Dominion University’s physical therapy program in 1999, initially focusing on a traditional "sports medicine" approach to rehabilitation. His interest in alternative methods led him to begin studying Strain and Counterstrain in 2005, which he blended with traditional physical therapy techniques. In 2017, he started incorporating Fascial Counterstrain into his practice, and after a transformative personal experience as a patient in 2019, it became his primary area of study. By 2020, Fascial Counterstrain became his exclusive treatment approach due to its remarkable effectiveness in addressing a wide range of complex issues. In March 2025, Jonathan founded Still Waters Physical Therapy with locations in Monterey, VA, and The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa. His mission is to help clients experience profound improvements in conditions that were once considered untreatable by traditional methods and to inspire a fresh perspective on health and wellness.

FAQs

Most other manual therapies are considered a “direct approach” where the offending tissues are treated through direct contact using needles, hands, instruments, manipulation, etc. Fascial Counterstrain is considered an “indirect approach” because once the tender point is identified, the treatment is a combination of positioning the body and gently shortening the connective tissue (fascia). There is a gradual release of the tender point resulting in improved tissue mobility of the area and improved segmental mobility.

Your session will start with some basic health questions and typical physical therapy intake information to comply with state law and get a basic understanding of your health. Next, there will be a discussion about any pain, movement restrictions, or functional limitations you have and some general range of motion and strength testing. After that, the physical therapist will explain Fascial Counterstrain and the process of finding the tissues involved in your pain or limitations. Lastly, he will begin to treat the worst tender points first and work through each sequence to clear as many dysfunctions as possible.

You should wear comfortable clothing that allows for full ranges of movement while maintaining modesty. No dresses, skirts, kilts, etc.

The list of dysfunctions that Fascial Counterstrain can treat is extremely lengthy but a few highlights are: migraines, sinus issues, neck and low back pain, general extremity pain or range of motion loss, plantar fasciitis, digestive disorders, sciatica, bursitis, orthopedic surgeries, muscle strains, thoracic outlet syndrome, and TMJ.

Some people can have soreness and aching in the areas that were treated for a few days after their session. This can be alleviated by drinking water and using ice as necessary. The discomfort will fade within a few days.
