ELEVATE HEALTH Inge Hindel, MD

Welcome to Body Unbound!

As a primary care physician with over 25 years of experience, including functional medicine, nutrition, and herbs, I continue to be astonished by the healing capacity of living systems. Though I have loved my time as a physician, I opened Body Unbound to feature a form of physical treatment for pain and restriction known as fascial counterstrain.

Fascial counterstrain is a precise and gentle way of releasing restrictions and tensions in the body. These restrictions can be in any system and are thought to have originated from the body's instinct to protect itself through reflexive tightening of fascia. Once restrictions are released, there can be remarkable improvements in pain, movement and function of virtually any structure of the body.

Improvements are less common when there are severe underlying diseases; advanced wear and tear of the body; or ongoing stress and inflammation. However, we have seen a surprising number of conditions thought to be permanent, or irreversible aging, show marked improvements with fascial counterstrain.
This technique allows the body to release tension and reignite its own inherent healing.

Welcome to my world of wonderment!
