The Fascia Institute and Treatment Center of Los Angeles
Specialized care for fascial pain and hypermobility — now rooted in the Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills, with a coordinated team designed so your treatment continues, beautifully, between every visit.
How we got to Los Angeles
For years, a steady stream of patients flew from California to New Orleans to be seen at The Fascia Institute. The trip became a ritual for many, and the travel a quiet testament to how few clinicians focus on fascia the way we do. It also made one thing clear: if patients were willing to cross the country for care, the care should meet them closer to home.
We began testing that idea with a series of pop-up clinics in Torrance. The response was immediate and overwhelming, and it convinced Dr. Jacques Courseault to make a long-term commitment to Los Angeles. After a thoughtful search, we were fortunate to find a space worthy of that commitment: an office in the Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills, designed to feel as considered as the medicine practiced inside it.
Asked the question, Dr. Courseault tends to answer — half in jest — with the obvious: the weather. But the truer answer is the city itself. Los Angeles has a deep awareness of and genuine interest in being healthy and whole. Each community has its own feel and its own questions about the body. And of course, there are the beaches. It is hard to think of a better place to invest in long-term, body-conscious care.
One practice. Three coordinated pathways of care.
Specialty fascial care does not fit a single appointment type. We have built our Los Angeles practice around three distinct pathways — each one anchored by Dr. Courseault, each one designed so your care continues whether or not he is physically in the office on a given day.
A note on televisits: our model uses remote evaluations not as a compromise, but as a feature. A busy life should not stand between you and being seen. Each pathway is designed so the conversational and diagnostic work can meet you where you already are, and your in-person time is protected for what only in-person time can do. You do not come in for a discussion. You come in for care.
Fascia Medicine
This is the medical arm of the Institute, and the heart of what we do. When pain has a fascial origin — and so much pain does — the right answer is rarely another opinion. It is precise, palpation- and image-guided treatment by a physician who specializes in this tissue.
The Fascia Performance Program
The Fascia Performance Program is the answer to the most important question patients ask us: “What happens between visits with Dr. Courseault?” The answer is a clinician-designed, hands-on program that runs continuously, in our Beverly Hills office, under one shared chart.
What makes the program distinctive is the pairing of two extraordinary clinicians whose roles are intentionally specialized. A nationally recognized fascia and hypermobility expert designs your care. A senior in-house practitioner — with faculty-level teaching credentials, a rare concentration of advanced manual-therapy training, and an elite-athlete pedigree — delivers it, with the consistency that meaningful tissue change actually requires.
Andrew is one of the leading physical therapists in the United States in fascial dysfunction and hypermobility, including Ehlers-Danlos. His patient list reads like a national referral pattern — clinicians and patients across the country seek him out specifically for the conditions most other therapists are not trained to recognize, let alone treat. Access to a clinician of his caliber is, by design, hard to come by; we have built it into the standard of care here. Every patient in the Fascia Performance Program is evaluated personally by Andrew via televisit and receives a plan of care written, by name, for them.
Sarah is the kind of clinician you do not expect to find delivering hands-on care chairside. She previously served as the Program Director and Assistant Professor of a CAPTE-accredited Physical Therapy Assistant program, where she designed the curriculum and personally taught the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular therapeutic techniques she now performs on our patients — meaning the practitioners working in PTA roles across the country were trained in the very techniques she will be using on you. Her hands carry an unusual concentration of advanced manual-therapy training: Active Release Techniques (spine, upper extremity, lower extremity), Graston Technique, Rocktape FMT, Postural Restoration, and Maitland-Australian Physiotherapy.
Sarah is also a lifelong, high-level athlete — a nationally ranked NPC Figure competitor who trained at Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym, an avid CrossFitter, and Ironman-level endurance trainer. She brings a holistic frame to recovery, drawing on evidence-informed work with whole-food nutrition, contrast therapy, photobiomodulation, infrared, and breathwork. The result is a practitioner who has lived the demands she helps patients meet, and who treats the body as one connected system rather than a list of parts.
Working directly from Andrew’s plan, Sarah delivers your manual therapy and modality sessions in our Beverly Hills office. Session frequency and intensity are calibrated to your plan of care, your symptoms, and your lifestyle — sometimes weekly, sometimes more often, sometimes spaced further apart as you progress.
The recently introduced OxeFit platform allows patients to continue strength training and body mechanics maintenance under structured guidance — an essential piece for hypermobile patients, where consistent, well-dosed loading is part of the long-term answer.
Hypermobility & EDS Care
Connective tissue conditions don’t stay in one lane. The same biology that makes joints loose can also affect circulation, digestion, the autonomic nervous system, and the body’s response to stress and inflammation. Our hypermobility protocol is structured, physician-led, and designed to look at all of it together.
The protocol is the same five-visit framework Dr. Courseault developed at our New Orleans clinic. In Los Angeles, we have adapted the format so that the conversational and diagnostic work — intake, metabolic review, and imaging review — happens by televisit with our Nurse Practitioner, while your two in-person visits are reserved for the work only in-person time can do: a hands-on fascial evaluation, and your physician review, diagnosis, and treatment with Dr. Courseault.
Following the protocol, your care continues with follow-up visits, regenerative or fascia-focused therapies when indicated, movement support, nutrition guidance, optional customized supplements, and coordination with outside specialists when needed. Most patients move directly into the Fascia Performance Program (Pathway 02), where the clinical gains are protected and built on over time. The goal, always, is steady, sustainable progress — not a one-time fix.
Care that does not pause
Every pathway above is built so your treatment keeps moving. A nurse practitioner who can see you tomorrow. A physician day reserved for the work that only Dr. Courseault performs. A specialist physical therapist available to evaluate you remotely. A dedicated in-house practitioner whose hands you will know by name. One coordinated chart. One coordinated plan. Whether Dr. Courseault is in Beverly Hills, in New Orleans, or available by televisit, your care is in motion.
We are honored to be in Los Angeles, and we are here for the long term. Whatever brought you to us — a referral, a flight from across the country, or a question no one else has been able to answer — we are glad you are here.
