new approaches in therapy

​

• Reevaluating the Arthritis Model: The correlation between the degree of joint wear and the severity of symptoms is not straightforward. Completely worn-out joints might not cause pain, while minimal alterations can be excruciating. The question arises: why?

​

• Questioning the Disc Damage Model: The extent of disc injury often does not directly impact the intensity of back pain. The underlying reason prompts inquiry.

​

• Swift Recovery from Ankle Sprains: Strategies for accelerating the return to sports activities post-injury.

​

• Rethinking Rest and Immobilization: Current rest and immobilization strategies (lack of movement, adopting protective postures) are under scrutiny. Does connective tissue truly need rest, or is it in need of appropriate movement, maintenance, and care?

FDM provides answers

​

The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) identifies the root of these issues and functional impairments in highly specific alterations at the fascial level, known as fascial distortions.

​

The aim of any FDM-based intervention is thus a precise correction of these distortions. Reverting back to the original state, such as untangling adhesions, typically results in immediate alleviation of pain and improved functionality.

​

A common misunderstanding among patients and therapists alike is that FDM's manual techniques do not merely address "fascia techniques" but rather the specific fascial distortions themselves. The maneuvers employed are defined by precise physical force vectors, uniquely capable of effectively correcting the identified fascial distortions.

​

effective, measurable, and comprehensible outcomes

​

The effectiveness of treatments is immediately evident and measurable by both practitioner and patient, as the corrections of fascial distortions address the root causes of dysfunction directly. This often negates the need for extended periods of rest, facilitating a swift return to normal activities.

​

As such, FDM therapy represents one of the most potent and efficient methods for addressing pain and mobility issues within the musculoskeletal system, promising to significantly alter patients' quality of life and activity levels in most scenarios.

​

The Initial Diagnostic Process involves a comprehensive discussion of the patient's medical history and an examination of previous medical findings.

​

Body Language Analysis plays a critical role in diagnosing, showcasing its unique contribution to the process.

​

The Physical Examination encompasses both standardized tests and palpation to assess and re-evaluate after each therapeutic intervention, ensuring measurable progress.

​

Systemic Cause Evaluation is crucial for identifying underlying issues not immediately apparent but significantly impacting the patient's condition.

​

therapeutic strategy

​

Therapy is tailored to each patient's specific needs, leading to dynamically adjusted treatment plans that directly address the individual's unique set of fascial distortions.

​

Mainly utilizing manual techniques, the therapy might occasionally incorporate tools like suction cups to aid in treatment, with the ultimate goal of restoring function and alleviating pain.

​

In some cases, addressing systemic issues such as dietary changes or metabolic regulation is necessary before manual therapy can be effective.

​

Typically, patients require 1-3 sessions, underscoring FDM's efficiency in resolving issues.
