This method has evolved over the last 30 years through study and practic e in the treatment of a vast caseload of musculoskeletal problems. It focu ses on the fascia\, in particular the deep muscular fascia\, including the epimysium and the retinacula and considers that the myofascial system is a three-dimensional continuum. In recent years\, via collaboration with th e Anatomy Faculties of the René Descartes University\, Paris\, France and the University of Padova in Italy\, Dr. Carla Stecco and Dr. Antonio Stec co have carried out extensive research into the anatomy and histology of t he fascia via dissection of unembalmed cadavers. These dissections have en hanced the pre-existing biomechanical model already elaborated by Luigi St ecco (1\,2) by providing new histological and anatomical data.\n\nThis tec hnique presents a complete biomechanical model that assists in deciphering the role of fascia in musculoskeletal disorders.\nThe mainstay of this ma nual technique lies in the identification of a specific\, localised area o f the fascia in connection with a specific limited movement. Once a limite d or painful movement is identified\, then a specific point on the fascia is implicated and\, through the appropriate manipulation of this precise p art of the fascia\, movement can be restored.\n\nIn fact\, by analysing mu sculoskeletal anatomy\, Luigi Stecco realised that the body can be divided into 14 segments and that each body segment is essentially served by six myofascial units (mf units) consisting of monoarticular and biarticular un idirectional muscle fibres\, their deep fascia (including epimysium) and t he articulation that they move in one direction on one plane. Numerous mus cle fibres originate from the fascia itself (3\, 4) and\, in turn\, myofas cial insertions extend between different muscle groups to form myofascial sequences. Therefore\, adjacent unidirectional myofascial units are united via myotendinous expansions and biarticular fibres (3) to form 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 tra ction\, or the myofascial vectors\, to converge at a specific point\, name d the vectorial Centre of Coordination or CC (5). The location of each CC has been calculated by taking into consideration the sum of the vectorial forces involved in the execution of each movement.\n\nThe six movements ma de on the three spatial planes are rarely carried out separately but\, mor e commonly\, are combined together to form intermediate trajectories\, sim ilar to the PNF patterns. In order to synchronize these complex movements other specific points of the fascia (often over retinacula) have been iden tified and\, subsequently\, named Centres of Fusion or CF.\n\nFascia is fo rmed by undulated collagen fibres and elastic fibres arranged in distinct layers\, and within each layer the fibres are aligned in a different direc tion. Due to its undulated collagen fibres\, fascia can be stretched and\, thanks to its elastic fibres\, it can then return to its original resting state. Given that fascia adapts to muscle stretch\, it is unable to trans mit force like a tendon or an aponeurosis. If these histological and funct ional distinctions are not taken into consideration\, then one can confuse fascia with aponeuroses or\, likewise\, confuse the deep fascia with the subcutaneous connective tissue (superficial fascia). Subcutaneous connecti ve tissue forms a very elastic\, sliding membrane essential for thermal re gulation\, 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 ana tomical studies have\, however\, evidenced differences between the deep fa scia of the trunk and that of the limbs (6). The first is formed by three layers\, each of which includes or surrounds different muscle groups\, nam ely a superficial layer (latissimus dorsi\, gluteus maximus\, external obl iques)\, a middle layer (serratus posterior inferior and superior\, ilioco stalis) and a deep layer (interspinali\, intertraversarii\, multifidus\, t rasversus abdominus). In the limbs\, the deep fascia is particularly thick \, resembling an aponeurosis\, and well organised\, connecting and synergi zing the muscles of the lower limb via its collagen fibres arranged in seq uences and spiral formations.\n\nIt is hypothesised\, that the richly inne rvated fascia (7) could be maintained in a resting state of tension due to the different muscular fibres that insert onto it. Due to this optimal re sting state\, or basal tension\, of the fascia\, the free nerve endings an d receptors within the fascial tissue are primed to perceive any variation in tension and\, therefore\, any movement of the body\, whenever it occur s.\n\nDeep fascia is effectively an ideal structure for perceiving and\, c onsequently\, assisting in organizing movements. In fact\, one vector\, or afferent impulse\, has no more significance to the Central Nervous System than any other vector unless these vectors are mapped out and given a spa tial significance. In human beings\, the complexity of physical activity i s\, in part\, determined by the crossover synchrony between the limbs and a refined variability in gestures. Whenever a body part moves in any given direction in space there is a myofascial\, tensional re-arrangement withi n the corresponding fascia. Afferents embedded within the fascia are stimu lated\, producing accurate directional information. Any impediment in the gliding of the fascia could alter afferent input resulting in incoherent m ovement.\nIt is hypothesised that fascia is involved in proprioception and peripheral motor control in strict collaboration with the CNS.\n\nTherape utic Implications\n\nThe fascia is very extensive and so it would be diffi cult and inappropriate to work over the entire area. The localisation of p recise points or key areas can render manipulation more effective. An accu rate analysis of the myofascial connections based on an understanding of f ascial anatomy can provide indications as to where it is best to intervene . Any non-physiological alteration of deep fascia could cause tensional ch anges along a related sequence resulting in incorrect activation of nerve receptors\, uncoordinated movements\, and consequent nociceptive afferents . Deep massage on these specific points (CC and CF) aims at restoring tens ional balance. Compensatory tension may extend along a myofascial sequence so myofascial continuity could be involved in the referral of pain along a limb or at a distance\, even in the absence of specific nerve root distu rbance. In clinical practice\, cases of sciatic-like pain and cervicobrach ialgia without detectable nerve root irritation are common (8).\n\nThis te chnique allows therapists to work at a distance from the actual site of pa in\, 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 kn own as the Centre of Perception (CP). In fact\, it is important to place o ur attention on the cause of pain\, tracing back to the origin of this ano malous tension\, or more specifically to the CC and CF located  within th e deep fascia.\n\nClick here for a Fascial Manipulation course brochure.\n \nClick here for a list of Fascial Abstract Articles to read.\n\nReference s\n1.

Sophie\n\nMy knee w hich normally makes lots of clonking &\; crackling &\; clicking when I have to move/unlock the meniscus has stopped doing all that. I'm now at the gym about to do some cycling. The implication of the FM techniques ar e just out of this world. I will see how the knee goes but I think the poi nt in the foot was the humdinger. it feels like I'm walking on a different foot. Unbelievable. If this is the end of my knee problem the ramificatio ns are completely life changing for me. Thank you:) Richard\n\n[/spoiler]\ n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book 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: Book your place\ ; Once you have registered your details\, come back to this DN 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 your payment m ethod below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank tran sfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
