The most important features of Fascial Manipulation (FM) which distinguish it from other soft tissue manual therapy modalities especially the ones focusing on fascia:

 

1-FM is a very well structured “method” not a “technique”, it has a unique biomechanical model and solid guidelines.

 

2-FM has a global and individualized approach which cares about the complete medical history of the patient,

 

3-FM’s solid guidelines help this method to address the cause or causes of the current complaint not only the symptoms,

 

4-FM Method is strongly supported by numerous studies and academic papers about fascial system’s functional anatomy, physiology, histology, innervation etc. by Stecco family and their colleagues from respected universities. (These articles can be found on international online platforms such as Pubmed, Medline, Science Direct etc.),

 

5-FM guidelines can be utilized as a complete method by itself as well as being integrated in different types of therapeutic interventions such as eswt etc.,

 

6-FM has the most precise, scientific and reliable palpation verification and treatment techniques among all other soft tissue therapy modalities. FM assessment almost always provides actionable data even if the diagnostics or etiology is unclear,

 

7-FM can be performed and be extremely beneficial even right after completing a level 1 course.

 

8-FM method can be used for both locomotor problems and internal dysfunctions after a successful completion of Levels 1-2-3-4.

 

9-FM method has ability to restore the biomechanics of the human body while other modalities don’t pay enough attention to the biomechanics.

 

10-FM can be used in acute and subacute problems in order to support the natural healing process by working on distal areas from the actual area of injury/surgery.

 

11-FM method can be used to prevent recurrent injuries of athletes.

 

12-FM is a time and cost efficient method which can provide long lasting complete results within 3-5 sessions depending on the individual’s medical history and the current condition.
