Katrina Blake, PTA, LMT

Since graduating in 2016 as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) from Green River College in Auburn, WA, I have been exposing clients to the world of Facial Counterstrain (FCS). I have always been drawn to the manual portion of physical therapy. After my first experience witnessing the effectiveness that FCS provides, I said to myself, "I have to learn this!" and never turned back. Chronic pain complexity and other "odd" presentations that doctors struggle to provide answers for is a welcome challenge. I have a genuine interest in helping each individual as a person, not a number. Also, I love working with all age groups from pediatrics to geriatrics, catering to their specific needs to unlock their pain puzzle. Many clients are intrigued with the speed of recovery and lasting results that comes from the gentle movements and/or compressions of FCS. This consistent exposure of success has inspired me to continue advancement in education, immersing myself more in FCS. Among all the specialty techniques that blend into my tool box, Fascial Counterstrain has proven to be the most effective and rewarding. Over the years, my goal to provide the highest quality of care was progressively being limited by insurance companies. To allow freedom of specialized treatment, I decided to return to school for additional licensure. Graduating from the International Institute of Massage Therapy in Idaho Falls, ID, 2025 with Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) credentials; I now have zero restrictions and will forever continue learning through the Jones Institute and my clients. I believe everyone has the right to live as pain free as possible and personally strive for clients to reach that goal.
