This one is for everyone who has ever asked…
🤔 “What the heck is Brandy talking about when she says FM?”
🤔 “What is up with those weird posters all over her office?”
🤔 “Why is she digging into my FOOT when I came in for a QUAD injury?!”
WELCOME TO FASCIAL MANIPULATION. 👋
Let’s talk about the Stecco Method (FM).
Fascial Manipulation maps Centers of Coordination (CCs) along three planes of movement. Each plane has two lines of CCs that work together to coordinate movement throughout the body.
When I’m evaluating an athlete with chronic or recurrent pain, or a history of non-contact injuries, I’m looking for patterns. Often, I can identify one particular plane of movement that may be contributing to their symptoms or movement dysfunction.
Part of that process involves mapping and palpating these Centers of Coordination, identifying areas of increased density, and looking for patterns that connect the dots.
Once I find a pattern, it’s time to treat some of those CCs.
And let’s be honest… IT HURTS. 😅
But usually, just for a moment.
When I’m on the right track, athletes often describe the sensation as a deep, almost “nervy” pain. Then comes the warmth. That weird sensation where everything seems to soften, melt, and suddenly… it doesn’t hurt anymore.
And the best part?
Athletes get off the table feeling LIGHTER, LOOSER, and often noticing a difference in how they move.
Is it magic? No.
Is it a beautiful system that has made a meaningful difference for many of my athletes? Absolutely.
So the next time you see me staring at those anatomy posters, drawing lines on someone’s leg, or treating a spot nowhere near their injury…
Just know there’s a method to the madness. 😉
