Fascial Manipulation®
Stecco FM
Fascia contains nerve endings that coordinate muscle activity across the body. Healthy fascia and their muscles should glide smoothly over each other, ensuring movement.
FYI, fascia in the limbs (arms and legs) do not contain the necessary amount of elastin proteins that permits stretching to do be super-effective and long lasting. Stecco FM therefore does not use stretching as it's primary treatment technique.
​
Old injuries result in adhesions with "sticky" fascia that can impair movement that creates pain (example - sensations like a "kink" in the shoulder during a throwing), this can occur without an apparent injury. Pain may arise from compensations elsewhere in the body, since fascia that doesn't glide properly results in imbalanced nerve activity and lead to compensatory imbalance and pain.
Stecco FM®
Stecco FM® is a medical method of assessment and treatment. It that addresses mysterious pains and dysfunctions ranging from ankle pain with no sprain, to chronic digestive problems, or an arthritis diagnosis without positive x-ray findings. Since internal organ and glandular fascia connects to fascia of muscles, internal systems can be dysfunctional if the fascia is pulling on your "insides" in an imbalanced fashion. Stecco FM® is a highly recognized and accurate method of assessment and treatment that addresses many health problems in addition to joint and muscle pain.
The nervous system
Stecco FM is designed to increase the integrity of the nervous system in the body's periphery, while chiropractic adjustments endeavour to increase the integrity of the nervous system problems that originate from spinal joints. The combination of Chiropractic and Stecco FM is commonly administered in treatment plans.
