University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine - Biddeford, Maine: Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine- Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine FDM Module 1: December 8-10, 2017 What you'll learn with FDM: FDM teaches theory and technique applicable to most musculoskeletal conditions and many medical conditions. It is based on translating the subtle, and often subconscious hand gestures patients use when describing their symptoms. FDM is a model of both assessment and treatment. It is patient-centered, and the only model that focuses on interpreting HOW a patient describes that symptoms with their hand gestures. This pattern recognition of patients' hand gestures is essentially another language that the medical community has been previously unaware of. Practitioners using FDM can have more options in their differential diagnosis, and less need for imaging, labs, and medication. FDM is not just techniques. It incorporates techniques that have been around for a long time, but also provides a theoretical framework to develop new techniques that speed return to function. Almost all manual techniques, whether they are Osteopathic Manipulation, joint mobilization, joint manipulation, or soft-tissue/fascial techniques, will fit into FDM. The end goal of FDM treatment is restoring range of motion, function, and reducing pain and fear of movement in the patient. Save 10% off Fascial Distortion Model training.

As the former dean of the Pacific Northwest University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where FDM is taught as a part of the Osteopathic Principles and Practice curriculum, the faculty and I were impressed with how quickly students grasp these concepts and utilize the skills which Dr. Capistrant shares in this engaging and informative book. The principles of this model need to be understood and applied broadly for the benefit of patients who have suffered with the consequences of fascial injuries." Robyn Phillips-Madson, DO, MPH, Founding Dean of the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine, San Antonio, TX. Associate Professor of Family Medicine FDM is open to DO, MD, NP, PA-C, PT, PTA, OT, DC, ATC, ND, DPM, DDS, DMD, and certified Structural Integration practitioners (Rolfers).
