The ARC Physical Therapy blog reviews Helen: Believe, a documentary following Olympic wrestler Helen Maroulis as she overcomes devastating injuries and mental health challenges to return to competition. The film showcases her use of Fascial Counterstrain, a gentle, hands-on therapy developed by Brian Tuckey that targets the body’s fascia and nervous system to relieve pain and restore function.
ARC praises the film for authentically representing Counterstrain’s effectiveness in Helen’s recovery and emphasizes how this approach can benefit anyone dealing with chronic pain, post-concussion symptoms, or restricted movement. The story serves as both inspiration and education—showing how advanced manual therapy and perseverance can help the body heal naturally.
