Loretta Bliss, LMT, CSC I

Loretta graduated and started a private practice as an LMT over 25 years ago. She was introduced to Strain Counterstrain, the work of Lawrence Jones, in the early 90’s. His concepts impacted her work greatly. In 2015 learning of Fascial Counterstrain, developed by Brian Tuckey amplified her deep appreciation of the anatomical and functional understanding of the human body. In her words, “Treating from a multi system paradigm has proven to be the most effective approach to the human body I have found.” Loretta’s dedication runs deep as she has completed all classes multiple times and has been acting as a Teaching Assistant for both the Jones Institute and Counterstrain Academy, along with being a member of the Instructor Training Program. Recently, Fascial Counterstrain Level 1 Certified Practitioner. Counterstrain is a powerful foundational work that is innovative, effective, and gentle. Each person is unique, perhaps with similar symptoms, but very different core dysfunctions. Counterstrain techniques allow us to look at the whole body, finding the underlying areas of trapped inflammation and restrictions. Addressing these areas contribute to an environment for healing which leads to restoring wellness to the entire body. Counterstrain changed my life personally which has rooted my level of dedication and passion to help others with this amazing technique. Counterstrain truly changes lives!
