The fascial distortion model according to S. Typaldos – unlocking the pain code
Matthias Fink and Georg Harrer Vienna
Hannover Medical School, Germany
The fascial distortion model (FDM) is an anatomical-functional diagnosis and treatment concept, postulating that every painful
functional impairment of the musculoskeletal system is the result of one or more of six abnormalities, so-called fascial distortions
(subcutaneous connective tissue, ligaments, intermuscular septa, periosteum). Injuries (esp. blunt trauma) are also categorized using
this distortion system. The mechanism of injury, the body language and the clinical findings are combined to establish a diagnosis
which leads to precisely one therapeutic consequence. In the context of FDM, the term body language means that patients do not only
show the painful site or area with their hand but also the type of underlying pathophysiology. Based on the pain body language, the
therapist can recognise the underlying fascial distortion. In this way, the patient becomes the director of his treatment. Techniques
used for this are the combinations of manual soft tissue techniques in the subepidermal connective tissue as well as impulse techniques
at the extremities, vertebral joints and intermuscular septa. Concept of the Fascial Distortion Model and recent results of clinical trials
will be presented.
