The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a manual therapy approach that is designed to identify and treat various musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The FDM approach is based on the idea that musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction are caused by specific types of distortions or alterations in the body’s fascia, which is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs.

During an FDM treatment session, the therapist will assess the patient’s musculoskeletal system and use specific manual techniques to identify areas of fascial distortion. Once identified, the therapist will apply targeted pressure and manipulation to the affected area in order to release the distortion and restore normal function.

The FDM approach is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including acute and chronic pain, joint stiffness, and decreased range of motion. It is a non-invasive and drug-free approach to pain management that is suitable for patients of all ages.

It is important to consult with a licensed healthcare provider who is trained and experienced in the use of FDM to determine if this approach is appropriate for your individual needs. FDM may be used alone or in combination with other forms of healthcare, depending on the underlying condition being treated.
