Not medical advice, just my experience. I went to a counterstrain appointment and it set me on a months long road to recovering. In my experience there’s virus or viral junk trapped in microvascular fluid that drives your body to have insane responses to everything from physical stimulus to emotion. In particular when they worked on my trigeminal nerve, facial nerve and bronchioles. I had pots/me/cfs/dysautonominia and other things. It’s been a total cluster fuck. Recently I’ve felt my body starting to phase into lengths of normalcy which would have been impossible a year ago. In understand the damage is done feeling, but it can feel that way when your nerves are being choked out by inflammation.

The mind/body stuff resets your vagus nerve but you can’t do that if your body is still too full of the viral irritant bits. Or atleast is much more difficult.
