The fascial distortion model (FDM) is an anatomical perspective in which the under lying etiology of virtually every musculoskeletal injury (and many neurological and medical conditions as well) is considered to be compromised of one or more of six specific pathological alterations of the body's connective tissues (fascial bands, ligaments, tendons, retinacula, etc.). This model not only allows for strikingly effective manipulation treatments for diverse afflictions such as pulled muscles and frozen shoulders, but the results are objective, obvious, measurable and immediate.
