JONE'S STRAIN-COUNTERSTRAIN
JONE'S STRAIN-COUNTERSTRAIN is a technique for relieving chronic
muscle spasm and its related pain. It is a passive procedure that places
the body or limb into a position of greatest comfort. This reduces or arrests
hyperactive nervous system activity that maintains the protective
muscle spasm. Normalization of muscle tone and joint function, and decrease
or elimination of pain are the result.
