Fascial Distortion Model Level 1 Module 1 Course Des Moines University, Des Moines, IA May 13-15, 2011 Purpose The purpose of the program is to have the attendees participate in a fascial distortion model (FDM) Level 1 module. The FDM is an anatomical perspective in which the underlying etiology of virtually every musculoskeletal injury is considered to be comprised of one or more of six specific pathological alterations of the body's connecting tissues (fascial bands, ligaments, tendons, retinacula, etc.). This model not only allows for strikingly effective manipulative treatments for diverse afflictions such as pulled muscles, sprained ankles and frozen shoulders, but the results are objective, obvious, measurable, and immediate. In the manipulative practice of the FDM (known as Typaldos manual therapy, or TMT), each injury is envisioned through the treatment. Then the subjective complaints, body language, mechanism of injury, and objective findings are woven together to create a meaningful diagnosis that has practical applications. For instance, in contrast to the orthopedic model in which a sprained ankle is rested so torn ligaments can heal, in the FDM approach, the specific anatomical distortions of the capsule, ligaments, or surrounding fascia are physically reversed. Therefore, the anatomical injury no longer exists, and the patient can walk without a limp and is pain free. Thus the typical sequence of orthopedic interventions obligatorily prescribed (resting, ice, compression, elevation, antiinflammatory drugs, and crutches) is no longer considered clinically relevant. Target Audience Attending physicians, mid-levels with a sponsoring physician attending the course, selected medical students and selected residents. Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, learners will be able to: Define the fascial distortion model Define each of the six principal types of fascial distortions. Recognize and properly identify the body language for each of the six principal types of fascial distortions. Think and diagnose shoulder, knee and ankle injuries using the fascial distortion model. Learn verbal skills in order to be able to easily articulate to patients and other doctors what you are doing. Correct the first sprained ankle clinically encountered after this seminar. Effectively treat the next acutely sore shoulder seen in the office. Primary Lecturer Todd Capistrant, D.O. Hands-on Instructors Todd Capistrant, D.O., Gene Lenard, D.O., and Marjorie Kasten, P.T.
