DOWNLOAD EBOOKUntil now the Fascia Distortion Model (in short FDM) has so far played no significant role in the treatment of infants. As our smallest patients haven’t any previously learned body language, a classical treatment according to FDM is virtually impossible. With adults it is possible to discuss their symptoms and indicate where the problem lies, this is more or less ruled out with infants. Here we have to rely rather on the results from the clinic and palpation as well as our experience with FDM. As we know as FDM therapists, FDM treatment is often accompanied by pain, but is also very successful. If our little patients have painful distortions then it is the least we can do but to try and relieve that pain. Unfortunately, this process is as painful for younger patients as for adults. Here, the question for therapists is whether such treatment is possibly incompatible with their consciences. In my view, it is almost a duty of the therapist, to relieve the infant from his suffering! Let's administer brief pain during treatment, knowing that in the end it is for the good of the child. Due to the great suppleness of the tissue in younger years, we can achieve a great deal of success within the first one or two treatments. This makes using FDM with infants so interesting. As with my first book, as also here, I will adorn myself mainly with false laurels. This work could only arise due to the help of some ingenious minds that have already set milestones before me in FDM therapy. My intention now is to filter the developments made by some renowned therapists and, together with my experience, implement this for the treatment of infants. Among the great therapists who have inspired me are Andrew Taylor Still, William Sutherland, Stephen Typaldos and Tom Esser. Especially through the latter did I discover my love of treating infants and children. For this, dear Tom, I retrospectively send you my sincerest thanks. I want to also thank my family who have not only seen little of me due to my practice and seminar activities but also due to my writing this book. I always had you in my thoughts! I hope all readers take pleasure in this book and also hope that I can remove the insecurities and fears about the treatment of infants and also present some worthwhile ideas. If we therapists don’t help children, then who will?
Why Does It Hurt?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy Does It Hurt presents a whole new viewpoint on the way our bodies work using FDM, the Fascial Distortion Model. Fascia is the fibrous connective tissue that permeates our bodies and holds everything together. Distorted fascia is often the cause of pain that may not respond to traditional treatments of physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs. Thanks to FDM, patients stooped over from chronic back pain now stand straight, and athletes sidelined with sprains quickly return to the game and perform as if nothing happened. Why Does It Hurt explains how, in case after case, FDM dramatically shortens healing time, reduces the need for tests and drugs, and restores movement and well-being to patients who had given up hope.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGrounded in scientific and clinical evidence, this highly illustrated new guide gives an introduction to the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders using the Fascial Manipulation (FM) method developed by Luigi Stecco – the foremost scientifically valid method of evaluating and treating fascial dysfunction. It describes FM’s history, anatomy and physiology of fasciae, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of action, and details of the subjective and physical techniques used to manage disorders. A Practical Guide to Fascial Manipulation focuses on concepts around evaluating the fascia based on functional testing, movement and direction in specific spatial planes, and the location of specific areas to treat safely. With an emphasis throughout on accessible practical information, the book is also supported by a website – www.guidefascial.com – containing procedural video clips and an image bank.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) was introduced by the American physician Stephen Typaldos (1957-2006). In this model all injuries and other conditions causing pain or disability are seen as arising from specific distortions of the connective tissue. This highly illustrated and very practical text and manual covers in detail the theoretical framework of the model, and approaches to manual therapy treatment based on an understanding of the FDM. The authors systematically cover all disorders likely to be encountered by the therapist, and provide comprehensive guidance about when it is appropriate to use FDM and how best to employ these approaches in treatment. The book is therefore of interest and value to all practitioners who want to understand the FDM and to incorporate its techniques into their therapeutic practice. This is also a comprehensive textbook and manual for anyone studying on FDM courses and for specific qualifications.
