Fascial Distortion Model/ Myofascial Relase Therapy

ProActive Chiropractic provides expert Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) and Myofascial Release Therapy in San Francisco CA. 

We know “cracking bones” isn’t enough so we always target muscle balance as well. Our  extremely effective treatment targets tight, overworked muscles.

FDM has “identified six different types of fascial distortions that all contain their own distinct form of correction. Experiences of discomfort during treatment should be expected although in most cases the patient is able to acknowledge that the discomfort during treatment ‘hurts good’.

Treatments can include ironing out fascial seams, smoothing out fascial coils, reversing fascial transition zones on attachment points, minimizing protruding tissue through fascial planes, unfolding and refolding fascial folds and releasing fixated joints. The patient’s presentation along with the FDM assessment will dictate and identify the type of fascial distortion involved and the proper corrective technique will then be utilized.” 

On conjunction with FDM we use Myofascial Release Therapy as an extremely effective treatment that targets tight, overworked muscles that cause you discomfort throughout the day. Relaxing hypertensive muscles helps restore blood flow back to the body region, aiding in reducing pain and restoring full body motion.
