Target the Fascia. Transform the Pain.

At Recovery Physiotherapy, we offer the Fascia Distortion Model (FDM)—one of the most advanced yet simplified manual therapy techniques for fast and effective relief from musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction. FDM focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and organs, and recognizes that most physical pain is due to specific distortions in this fascial system.

What is the Fascia Distortion Model?

The FDM approach identifies six distinct types of fascial distortions, each with its own pattern of symptoms and pain. Our trained therapists use detailed movement assessments and even patient body language to accurately pinpoint the type of distortion and apply manual techniques that realign and release the fascia.

Core Features of FDM Treatment:

Direct Manual Pressure: Quick, targeted pressure on specific areas of fascial distortion to break up adhesions and restore mobility.
Functional Assessment: Analyzing how pain presents during movement to identify the exact distortion pattern.
Fast, Long-Lasting Relief: Often shows immediate improvement in pain, range of motion, and function—even in chronic cases.
No Machines or Medication: Purely hands-on and natural; relies on an advanced understanding of how the fascial network affects pain and mobility.
