Title: Fascial dysfunction and the Fascial Manipulation® approach
Description:
This webinar titled “Fascial Dysfunction and the Fascial Manipulation® Approach” offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of the fascial system and its clinical relevance for manual therapists.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the anatomical, histological, and functional components of fascia, exploring how alterations in these components may contribute to dysfunction, pain, and movement restrictions.
The talk distinguishes between fibrosis and densification (the aggregation of hyaluronan within the loose connective tissue), clarifying their different mechanisms, palpatory features, and therapeutic implications.
By integrating current scientific evidence with clinical reasoning, the session highlights what therapists can realistically influence or modify through manual interventions—and what remains beyond the scope of soft tissue therapy—offering a more precise, evidence-informed approach to treatment.
Takeaways for the Members:
- Understand the structure and function of the fascial system and its role in movement and pain.
- Differentiate fibrosis from densification, recognising how each affects tissue behaviour and patient presentation.
- Appreciate the clinical importance of identifying the type of fascial dysfunction before treatment.
- Gain insight into what manual therapy can and cannot change in fascial tissues.
- Discover the principles of the Fascial Manipulation® (Stecco Method) and how they can refine your assessment and treatment strategies.
- Leave with a more evidence-based and specific understanding of fascial dysfunction relevant to everyday practice.
