Learn Fascial Manipulation Level One (FM-1) Course (Sep 26 - 28, 2025)

Learn Fascial Manipulation Level One (FM-1) Course is organized by Structure & Function Education and will be held from Sep 26 - 28, 2025 at Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.

Description:
looking at the body as a whole, not just “where it hurts” or where the problems appear to be. Utilizing a systematic approach to assessment and treatment of the tissue, the course covers deep tissue manipulation and focus areas of deep fascia. Students learn manual palpation of very specific regions of the body in order to determine the location of fascial alterations which may be involved with your patient’s problem. The Fascial Manipulation® Level 1 (FM-1) course consists of two parts, called FM-1a and FM-1b. FM-1a needs to be fully completed, and a test needs to be taken and passed prior to taking FM-1b in person. This is to assure a good understanding of the underlying biomechanical and physiological rationale and mastery of the techniques presented.

What are the benefits of learning the Fascial Manipulation® system by Stecco?

• The uniqueness of Fascial Manipulation® is looking at the body as a whole, not just “where it hurts” or where the problems appear to be.
• Fascial alterations away from the affected painful area are the actual cause of the problem. In most cases, we are able to treat acutely painful conditions and not even touch the area that hurts.
• In other words, the fascial structures in other areas may be causing abnormal (or unbalanced) pull or stress on the muscles, joints or nerves that cause you to feel pain, limited movement or even altered sensations in a different part of your body.
• Learn manual palpation of very specific regions of the body in order to determine the location of fascial alterations which may be involved with your patient’s problem
• Learn a systematic approach to assessment and treatment of these issues, consisting of deep tissue manipulation of very specific and focused areas of the deep fascia

Course Format:
FM-1a – Fascial Manipulation Level 1 Part A:
Fascial Manipulation Level 1 Part A consists of;

• Introduction to the basic principles of Fascial Manipulation® method
• Introduction to fascial anatomy
• Introduction to the biomechanical model employed by the Fascial Manipulation® method
• Define the myofascial units that form the myofascial sequences of the upper limbs, trunk, and the lower limbs in the sagittal and frontal planes.
• Learn about the Assessment Chart used in Fascial Manipulation® method.

FM-1b – Fascial Manipulation Level 1 Part B:
Fascial Manipulation Level 1 Part B consist of;

• In-depth study of the physiology of the fascial system
• Assessment and treatment of the myofascial units for the upper limbs, trunk, and the lower limbs in the horizontal plane.
• Instruction on the utilization of the Assessment Chart for a 3D examination of the human fascial system
• Streamlining comprehensive treatment strategies
• A proficiency exam of the Centers of Coordination

At the completion of of the course:
All participants:

• Will be capable of utilizing the Assessment Chart for a 3D examination of the human fascial system.
• Will be proficiency in the comparative examination of Centers of Coordination.
• Will have treatment strategies in Fascial Manipulation® method.
