Your practice is about to change forever
As physical therapists ourselves, we understand how frustrating it is to continually treat stubborn pain that disrupts your patients' daily lives.
That's why we developed Counterstrain, the most effective manual therapy technique for releasing protective spasm in all tissues of the human body.

Here's what our students are saying
Since discovering The Jones Institute about 8 years ago, I've truly transformed my manual work. Fascial Counterstrain blends seamlessly with my acupuncture practice and my clinic is regularly booked out for 6 weeks. I will keep coming back for more classes.
Mandi Schwerdtman, LAc, DAc | Albany, Oregon
The Jones Institute changed my professional life in that mastering Counterstrain has allowed me to successfully treat the most difficult of patients. It is my go-to technique for 100% of my patients and I am well trained in many other forms of manual therapy.
Ronald Kelch, PTA, MS, JSCC, C-PS | Glen Burnie, MD
The Jones Institute courses have been my go-to for manual therapy continuing education since 2008. I come away from each class with effective treatment techniques for every patient that walks through my clinic doors. It’s a game changer!
Lori Anderson, DPT | Washburn, WI
Out of all my skill sets including postural restoration, diagnostic ultrasound, and dry needling, Counterstrain techniques have been the most thorough and practical. They’re the reason I was able to open a cash practice with extreme success. I now fix cases I once thought were untreatable.
Laura Regan, PT, DPT, COMT | Anchorage, AK

Be the clinician you dreamed of becoming in school
We know there’s nothing you want more than to provide the kind of treatment your patients expect from a licensed professional. But to relieve their pain, you need therapy techniques you can rely on with no hesitation. The problem is techniques don’t always produce the same results from patient to patient which leaves even the most tenured therapist feeling frustrated and insecure.
We believe that as a licensed clinician, you should have the skills and knowledge to completely relieve your patients of pain. We also understand that treating stubborn pain is easier said than done. That’s why we developed Counterstrain—a gentle yet highly-effective modality now taught in six countries around the world.
If you’re ready to show up for yourself and your patients, you already hold the power to transform your practice in ways you’ve never imagined. Register today and stop doubting your professional abilities. Become the trusted healer you set out to be.
