Fascial Manipulation®
Published in David Lesondak, Angeli Maun Akey, Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications, 2020
At present, Fascial Manipulation is taught in three levels. The first level is for the basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of fascia, the CC and its sequences. The second level promotes the understanding of the centers of fusions via diagonals and spirals. The third level is intended to solve internal dysfunction by combining CCs and CFs in different settings, and superficial fascia with a specific manuality.

Pelvic myofascial mobilisation (MM) refers to the manual therapy of the fascia in and around the pelvis. The MM application can be external or internal. The external MM (EMM) is the application of manual therapy based on the myofascial connectivity [19] and myofascial force transmission [20]. Here the fascia around the pelvis will be examined and mobilised for myofascial dysfunction in a traceable pattern. The most common MM procedures are myofascial release (MFR) and fascial manipulation (FM). The MFR involves the application of a variable load and long duration stretch to the myofascial complex intended to restore optimal length, decrease pain, and improve function [21]. In FM, the fascia will be manipulated through predefined myofascial units, that, when treated appropriately, are believed to restore tensional balance [22]. Evidence is accumulating regarding the administration of internal MM [10], but this procedure is less comfortable and culturally sensitive for many patients as this involves per rectal application of the MM.
