Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) AR The Arterial System 2026

Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) AR The Arterial System is organized by The Jones Institute and will be held from Oct 02 - 04, 2026 at The Jones Institute, Carlsbad, California, United States of America.

Course Description:
FCS AR explores the newly discovered entity of arterial-fascial dysfunction. This condition, identified by the presence of specific arterial tender points, is essentially a vasospasm of the large, named arteries of the body as well as spinal cord arterial-fascial dysfunction and treatment. Symptoms may include myalgia, Achilles tendinopathy, epicondylitis, migraine, pseudoradiculopathy, low back pain (LBP), cervicalgia, adhesive capsulitis, patellofemoral dysfunction, temporomandibular disorder (TMD), muscle weakness, and altered sensory/proprioceptive input. Treating arterial dysfunction with FCS normalizes elevated vascular tone, and alleviates all associated musculoskeletal symptoms.

Outline:

• Origin of Arterial FCS
• Anatomy and physiology of the arterial system and spinal cord
• Review of the anatomy and physiology of the arterial fascia (tunica adventitia) and its nociceptive and mechanoreceptive properties
• Overview of how nocifensive and nociautonomic reflexes lead to the formation of arterial tender points

Objectives:

• Improve understanding of arterial anatomy and physiology, including vascular tunics • Recognize the signs and symptoms of arterial dysfunction in all regions of the body including the spinal cord
• Learn to diagnose and correct arterial dysfunction using FCS
• Gain proficiency in more than 85 newly developed FCS techniques to correct arterial-fascial
