Description:
Fascial Manipulation is a manual therapy that has been developed by Luigi Stucco PT, in collaboration with his children Professor Carla Stecco and Assistant Professor Antonio Stecco (both MDs, PhDs), over the last 40 years. Focusing on fascia, and in particular, the deep muscular fascia, FM considers the myofascial system as a three-dimensional continuum. This method presents a complete biomechanical model that assists in deciphering the role of fascia in musculoskeletal disorders. In recent years, both Carla and Antonio Stecco have carried out extensive research into the anatomy and physiology of the fascial system via dissections of unembalmed cadavers in Italy and other countries around the world. These dissections have provided new histological and anatomical data including the existence of myotendinous expansions between segments, the multi-layered structure of deep fascia and the abundant innervation of this tissue by mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings.
The mainstay of the manual method developed by Luigi Stecco lies in the identification of specific, localised areas of the fascia in connection with planes of movement. Once a limited or painful movement is identified, then a specific point on the fascia is implicated and through the appropriate manipulation of this precise part of the fascia, movement can be restored.
This course will introduce the Fascial Manipulation Method, discussing key areas related to fascial anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathophysiological changes that guide the clinical framework used. The workshop will include combine theoretical and practical elements to enhance the clinical skills of the participant.
