Strain Counter-Strain was developed by Dr. Lawrence Jones, DO and is based on the principle of maintaining a mid range compression over a muscle that is in the state of spasm and by doing so interfering with the gamma-alpha protective loop between the muscle spindle and the spinal cord and therefore causing the muscle to relax.

Strain Counter-Strain is a very useful technique to alleviate local or regional pain and muscle spasm.
