Fascial Manipulation® is an effective soft tissue manual therapy method generally used for myofascial pain and dysfunction, locomotor problems and internal dysfunctions. Fascial Manipulation® Specialists pay attention to the detailed information about the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, previous injuries/traumas, surgeries, fractures, internal dysfunctions etc. to identify and address the root cause of pain and dysfunction. Localized or global compensations can cause an altered perception of body position/movement, motor coordination and distribution of load on myofascial structures and joints, and may increase the risk of injury, pain, and further dysfunctions. The individualized precision of this method helps to restore the biomechanics of the fascial system, and to provide realistic long-lasting results and even to prevent further injuries.

At Village Physiotherapy, we have a specialist trained in Fascial Manipulation®, that can effectively treat and manage a variety of conditions that stem from or affect the fascial system. This approach not only addresses symptoms but also targets the underlying causes of discomfort and dysfunction, offering patients a pathway to improved health and mobility.
