FASCIAL MANIPULATION TECHNIQUE
Fascial Manipulation Technique (FM) is an evidence-based treatment for pain relief, which involves manual treatment of the myofascial system to restore muscular balance and reduce stiffness. Recent evidence has shown that muscle action is not merely along origin and insertion lines. Instead, muscles and fascia form continuous lines from head to toe allowing efficient tension and mobility for shock absorption and force generation to support the entire neuromusculoskeletal system during activity.
Pain and dysfunction often occur due to tissue overload and stiffness in the myofascial chain. Myofascial stiffness can lead to improper movement patterns causing excessive tissue strain and overload of joint structures, such as capsule and cartilage.
The goal of fascial manipulation is to restore gliding along fascial layers and normal activation of myofascial lines of tension to restore balance within the neuromusculoskeletal system. Our doctors utilize this evidence-based technique to naturally resolve pain and facilitate healing with improved movement and stability throughout the entire body. Fascial manipulation is a safe and effective alternative to patients seeking pain relief without the risk of surgery or drugs.
