The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) was introduced by the American physician Stephen Typaldos (1957-2006). In this model all injuries and other conditions causing pain or disability are seen as arising from specific distortions of the connective tissue. This book deals in detail with the theoretical framework of the model, and with the approaches to treatment based on an understanding of the FDM. The authors systematically cover all disorders likely to be encountered by the clinician and provide comprehensive guidance about when it is appropriate to use FDM, and how best to employ these approaches in practice. The book is therefore of interest and value to all manual therapists who want to understand the FDM and to incorporate its techniques into their therapeutic practice. It is also a comprehensive textbook and manual for all those studying on FDM courses and qualifications.
