WHAT TO EXPECT


Arrival and Scheduling:
Gateway Therapies is located in the historic Thiensville Mill Building. Please use the side entrance and wait in the lobby where we will greet you.
​
Please note there are two small sets of stairs inside the building, as it does not have an elevator due to its age. If stairs are a challenge, we offer home visits by appointment only. To schedule a home visit, please call us at (262) 292-4383 or email us at info@gatewaytherapiesllc.com.
​​
Scheduling Your Counterstrain Appointment:
We offer three levels of Fascial Counterstrain care, based on the clinician’s training and the complexity of your symptoms. This tiered system helps ensure you are matched with the provider best suited to your needs. For many patients, more than one tier may be appropriate, and their level of care may change over time as their needs evolve.
​
Tier 1 Counterstrain
Foundational Care for New or Straightforward Concerns
Single area, localized concern such as a recent injury, localized pain, or mobility restriction
These sessions are designed to reduce discomfort, improve movement, and establish a strong starting point for care.
​
Session fee: $90​
Tier 1 appointments are available for online booking.
​
Tier 2 Counterstrain
​
Deeper care for chronic or multi area conditions
​
Multiple areas or layered, longer standing patterns of dysfunction
These sessions address compensations, chronic symptoms, and more complex movement restrictions involving several regions.
​
Session fee: $120
Tier 2 appointments are available for online booking.
​
Tier 3 (Advanced Facial Counterstrain)
Specialized Care for Persistent or Complex Conditions
Tier 3 represents the most advanced fascial counterstrain care and is intended for complex, multi system, or persistent conditions that require advanced clinical assessment and treatment.
​
Tier 3 care is determined on a case by case basis and is typically recommended after assessment and treatment within Tier 1 or Tier 2 care.
​
Tier assignment is based on current clinical presentation and may change over time as conditions evolve. Some patients may move into Tier 3 when higher level clinical specificity is needed, and later return to Tier 1 or Tier 2 care as their condition changes.
​
Because Tier 3 care requires advanced clinical matching, appointments are scheduled directly through our office rather than online. This allows us to ensure appropriate placement and prepare adequately for care.
​
If you are unsure whether Tier 3 is appropriate, or if your symptoms are complex or longstanding, we recommend contacting our team so we can help determine the most appropriate starting level.
​
Session fee: $150
To request Tier 3 (Advanced) care, please call or text (262) 292-4383 or email info@gatewaytherapiesllc.com
