About

Christine Wood, PT, DPT, LMT, lives in Augusta County in the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley with her husband and daughter. She earned a physical therapy degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1992, a doctorate in physical therapy from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009 and a massage therapy license in 2018. She has worked across all demographics in numerous therapy settings from hospitals to outpatient clinics to nursing homes. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association and the Virginia Physical Therapy Association. Christine has pursued extensive post graduate training in various manual techniques enabling her to identify and treat the cause of pain and dysfunction rather than just the symptoms. Since the very beginning of her career she has been driven to help people heal and live their lives free of pain, with that journey bringing her to the world of Fascial Counterstrain. No other technique has enabled her to bring the same level of lasting relief and healing to her patients. She has been a teaching assistant for the Jones Institute since 2014 and Counterstrain Academy since 2020, and is currently enrolled in the Academy’s Instructor Training Program. In addition to loving her job she enjoys playing flute with the Stonewall Brigade Band and the Flutes of the Shenandoah. Her other hobbies include kayaking and hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains. Christine is Owner and CEO of Horizons Therapy in Waynesboro, VA.

He has a background in sports medicine and outpatient orthopedics with certifications in myofascial cupping, IASTM, kinesio taping and muscle energy techniques. After experiencing the power of Fascial Counterstrain, he began learning the technique himself, adopting it as his primary method of manual therapy, combined with the ATG movement system. He is a soldier in the US Army Reserve and recently relocated to Lynchburg, VA with his wife.

Gabriel Skinner, LMT, graduated from the Baltimore School of Massage in 2003 and quickly made massage therapy his full-time profession.

Gabe opened his own studio in 2012. His first exposure to Fascial Counterstrain occurred in 2019 and he immediately recognized its potential to address the root causes of pain and dysfunction. Gabe currently lives in an antique log cabin in the mountains of Nelson County with his wife and young son.
