Fascial manipulation method
Fascial Manipulation© is a manual therapy that has been developed by Luigi Stecco PT, in collaboration with his children Carla Stecco and Antonio Stecco (both MDs, PhDs), over the last 40 years.

Participants will learn to evaluate musculoskeletal dysfunction with specific reference to the human fascial system, and to apply the Fascial Manipulation method as taught by Luigi Stecco, PT. Lectures include the anatomy and physiology of the fascial system, an explanation of the biomechanical model used in application of this technique and the anatomical localization of key fascial points. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of musculoskeletal dysfunctions (from history taking, to a hypothesis, to a verification and treatment) together with a methodology and strategy for treatment.
Level 1 Fascial Manipulation® consists of:
- Fascial Manipulation 1A: over 13 hours of online content.
- Fascial Manipulation 1B: a 3-day course (for 24 hours total).
Level 1 discusses the problems related to dysfunction of the locomotor system, by associating the densification of the Coordination Centers to conditions such as tendinitis, low back pain, lumbar disease, cervicalgia, carpal tunnel, headache, and so on. It studies analytically, every Myofascial Unit in the continuity of Myofascial Sequences. The main objective is to develop an understanding of the Coordination Centers (CCs), responsible for the normal function of the monoarticular muscles and synergistic biarticular muscles.
