What is the Financial Aid Program?
The Financial Aid Program awards grants to individuals recovering from trauma who want to explore Fascial Counterstrain treatment as part of their recovery plan. Each grant is for $600, which fully covers three Fascial Counterstrain sessions with approved clinicians in our Provider Network.
Most clients report that three sessions is sufficient to experience noticeable positive results. Many report feeling effects after just one appointment - such as reduction in pain, improved sleep, and reduced tension. Please keep in mind that every case and every body is different, and experiences will vary.
Once awarded, funds are distributed directly to the in-network provider of your choice to cover three FCS sessions.
Fascial Counterstrain is a gentle, non-invasive, physical treatment that can offer immediate relief and restoration directly to the body’s tissues and nervous system. It is a powerful care option for people with treatment-resistant trauma.
Unfortunately, the out-of-pocket cost of treatment can be an obstacle that prevents many people from accessing these potentially life-changing treatments.
Physical and mental trauma dramatically diminish quality of life and contribute to staggering rates of suicide and mental health problems. The potential benefits offered by Fascial Counterstrain can support people recovering from trauma by giving their bodies the reset it needs to heal.
Who is the Financial Aid Program for?
We serve survivors of trauma, taking into account the complex factors that contribute to acute and chronic trauma, including injury, illness, disability, discrimination, high-risk professions, and systematic disenfranchisement.
