Fascial Manipulation© (FM) will teach you how to evaluate the fascial system to determine how to remove the original cause of the patient's compensatory present complaint. Research is proving that the fascial system is the most important "connective" tissue in the body.
There is no other course in the world of soft tissue that has the amount of research to back it up than Fascial Manipulation. I introduced Fascial Manipulation into the United States with Stefano Casadei, PT and Antonio Stecco, MD. FM has been taught in Europe for the past 16 years and is now taught on six continents. The originator of Fascial Manipulation is Luigi Stecco, PT. His textbook Fascial Manipulation, Practical Part, has been translated into 7 languages.

Dr. Hammer is the English Language Editor for Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System
by Carla Stecco, MD, published by Elsevier, 2015. This text represents the definitive work on the fascial system. It is based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed cadavers over the past decade. It explains how fascia plays a part in myofascial dysfunction and disease as well as how it may alter muscle function and disturb proprioceptive input.
