Treatment According to the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)

Treatment according to the FDM is a form of manual therapy, where aids are sometimes used.

The principle and the core idea of FDM is that the cause of the complaint is a pathological deformation of the fascia, and this distortion can be reversed through manual manipulation.

This allows the patient's complaints to disappear quickly, if not immediately, enabling the restoration of normal strength, function, and mobility depending on the distortion and issue.

A proficient FDM therapist is characterized by finesse and strength. Skill is needed to apply a specific technique at the desired location for the corresponding distortion.

Strength is crucial since most treatment techniques in FDM are applied more directly and with more force than other manual therapy forms. Mechanical pressure is critical and necessary for correcting many anatomical distortions. The fascia pathways, often deep within the tissue, must be reached to achieve an effect.

A rapid improvement in complaints is of great importance. This is because even the often painful treatment will be tolerated and accepted by patients. In practice, it is confirmed that individuals who don't want any restrictions, whether because their life, profession, or sport requires a quick recovery or improvement, especially benefit from this method. An active attitude and approach towards recovery and support of the therapy is demanded and expected.

Depending on the fascial distortion and body region, various techniques are used that are always adapted to the individual patient with their unique complaints and pains.

Our FDM therapists possess well-grounded theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience in the fascial distortion model and its applications, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and biomechanics, as well as neurology and pathology. They have precise knowledge of the treatment guidelines and procedures.
