This method has evolved over the last 30 years through stud y and practice in the treatment of a vast caseload of musculoskeletal prob lems. It focuses on the fascia\, in particular the deep muscular fascia\, including the epimysium and the retinacula and considers that the myofasci al system is a three-dimensional continuum. In recent years\, via collabor ation with the Anatomy Faculties of the René Descartes University\, Paris \, France and the University of Padova in Italy\, Dr. Carla Stecco and Dr. Antonio Stecco have carried out extensive research into the anatomy and h istology of the fascia via dissection of unembalmed cadavers. These dissec tions have enhanced the pre-existing biomechanical model already elaborate d by Luigi Stecco (1\,2) by providing new histological and anatomical data .\n\nThis technique presents a complete biomechanical model that assists i n deciphering the role of fascia in musculoskeletal disorders.\nThe mainst ay of this manual technique lies in the identification of a specific\, loc alised area of the fascia in connection with a specific limited movement. Once a limited or painful movement is identified\, then a specific point o n the fascia is implicated and\, through the appropriate manipulation of t his precise part of the fascia\, movement can be restored.\n\nIn fact\, by analysing musculoskeletal anatomy\, Luigi Stecco realised that the body c an be divided into 14 segments and that each body segment is essentially s erved by six myofascial units (mf units) consisting of monoarticular and b iarticular unidirectional muscle fibres\, their deep fascia (including epi mysium) and the articulation that they move in one direction on one plane. Numerous muscle fibres originate from the fascia itself (3\, 4) and\, in turn\, myofascial insertions extend between different muscle groups to for m myofascial sequences. Therefore\, adjacent unidirectional myofascial uni ts are united via myotendinous expansions and biarticular fibres (3) to fo rm myofascial sequences.\n\nWhile part of the fascia is anchored to bone\, part is also always free to slide. The free part of the fascia allows the muscular traction\, or the myofascial vectors\, to converge at a specific point\, named the vectorial Centre of Coordination or CC (5). The locatio n of each CC has been calculated by taking into consideration the sum of t he vectorial forces involved in the execution of each movement.\n\nThe six movements made on the three spatial planes are rarely carried out separat ely but\, more commonly\, are combined together to form intermediate traje ctories\, similar to the PNF patterns. In order to synchronize these compl ex movements other specific points of the fascia (often over retinacula) h ave been identified and\, subsequently\, named Centres of Fusion or CF.\n\ nFascia is formed by undulated collagen fibres and elastic fibres arranged in distinct layers\, and within each layer the fibres are aligned in a di fferent direction. Due to its undulated collagen fibres\, fascia can be st retched and\, thanks to its elastic fibres\, it can then return to its ori ginal resting state. Given that fascia adapts to muscle stretch\, it is un able to transmit force like a tendon or an aponeurosis. If these histologi cal and functional distinctions are not taken into consideration\, then on e can confuse fascia with aponeuroses or\, likewise\, confuse the deep fas cia with the subcutaneous connective tissue (superficial fascia). Subcutan eous connective tissue forms a very elastic\, sliding membrane essential f or thermal regulation\, metabolic exchanges and the protection of vessels and nerves\, whereas the deep fascia envelops the muscles\, and surrounds the muscle’s aponeurosis up to where it inserts onto bone.\n\nThe above- mentioned anatomical studies have\, however\, evidenced differences betwee n the deep fascia of the trunk and that of the limbs (6). The first is for med by three layers\, each of which includes or surrounds different muscle groups\, namely a superficial layer (latissimus dorsi\, gluteus maximus\, external obliques)\, a middle layer (serratus posterior inferior and supe rior\, iliocostalis) and a deep layer (interspinali\, intertraversarii\, m ultifidus\, trasversus abdominus). In the limbs\, the deep fascia is parti cularly thick\, resembling an aponeurosis\, and well organised\, connectin g and synergizing the muscles of the lower limb via its collagen fibres ar ranged in sequences and spiral formations.\n\nIt is hypothesised\, that th e richly innervated fascia (7) could be maintained in a resting state of t ension due to the different muscular fibres that insert onto it. Due to th is optimal resting state\, or basal tension\, of the fascia\, the free ner ve endings and receptors within the fascial tissue are primed to perceive any variation in tension and\, therefore\, any movement of the body\, when ever it occurs.\n\nDeep fascia is effectively an ideal structure for perce iving and\, consequently\, assisting in organizing movements. In fact\, on e vector\, or afferent impulse\, has no more significance to the Central N ervous System than any other vector unless these vectors are mapped out an d given a spatial significance. In human beings\, the complexity of physic al activity is\, in part\, determined by the crossover synchrony between t he limbs and a refined variability in gestures. Whenever a body part moves in any given direction in space there is a myofascial\, tensional re-arra ngement within the corresponding fascia. Afferents embedded within the fas cia are stimulated\, producing accurate directional information. Any imped iment in the gliding of the fascia could alter afferent input resulting in incoherent movement.\nIt is hypothesised that fascia is involved in propr ioception and peripheral motor control in strict collaboration with the CN S.\n\nTherapeutic Implications\n\nThe fascia is very extensive and so it w ould be difficult and inappropriate to work over the entire area. The loca lisation of precise points or key areas can render manipulation more effec tive. An accurate analysis of the myofascial connections based on an under standing of fascial anatomy can provide indications as to where it is best to intervene. Any non-physiological alteration of deep fascia could cause tensional changes along a related sequence resulting in incorrect activat ion of nerve receptors\, uncoordinated movements\, and consequent nocicept ive afferents. Deep massage on these specific points (CC and CF) aims at r estoring tensional balance. Compensatory tension may extend along a myofas cial sequence so myofascial continuity could be involved in the referral o f pain along a limb or at a distance\, even in the absence of specific ner ve root disturbance. In clinical practice\, cases of sciatic-like pain and cervicobrachialgia without detectable nerve root irritation are common (8 ).\n\nThis technique allows therapists to work at a distance from the actu al site of pain\, which is often inflamed due to non-physiological tension . For each mf unit\, the area where pain is commonly felt has been mapped out and is known as the Centre of Perception (CP). In fact\, it is importa nt to place our attention on the cause of pain\, tracing back to the origi n of this anomalous tension\, or more specifically to the CC and CF locate d  within the deep fascia.\n\nClick here for a Fascial Manipulation cours e brochure.\n\nClick here for a list of Fascial Abstract Articles to read. \n\nReferences\n1.

Sophie \n\nMy knee which normally makes lots of clonking &\; crackling &\; clicking when I have to move/unlock the meniscus has stopped doing all tha t. I'm now at the gym about to do some cycling. The implication of the FM techniques are just out of this world. I will see how the knee goes but I think the point in the foot was the humdinger. it feels like I'm walking o n a different foot. Unbelievable. If this is the end of my knee problem th e ramifications are completely life changing for me. Thank you:) Richard\n \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Boo k This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Boo k your place\; Once you have registered your details\, come back to this D N webpage to submit your booking below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make y our payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay vi a a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invo ice that has been emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
