“…In the analyzed ten publications, improvement after treatment and better outcome in patients conditions were found. Disorders treated with the use of the FM® method were: chronic shoulder pain (9), low back pain (11,13), postural hyperkyphosis (12), chronic ankle instability (15), total hip arthroplasty (16), carpal tunnel syndrome (10,17). It is worth emphasizing fact that, according to publications included in this literature review, FM® method turned out to be effective particularly in low back pain (11,13) and carpal tunnel syndrome (10,17).…”

BackgroundFascial Manipulation® (FM®) is a manual method of treatment created by Luigi Stecco that centres on the muscular fascia. Fascia is a fibrous collagenous tissue which, with its wide strands, connects all the connective tissues in the body into a whole. Fascia can also cause restriction of motion of the organs as a result of an injury, inflammation or infection. FM® technique bases on identification and therapy of specific points, which are located at the point of convergence of the vectorial forces of the muscles involved in every movement. The aim of this literature review was to analyze publications on the use of FM® in treatment of pain and functional dysfunctions.Materials and methodsMaterial for this literature review was found by two independent authors using PubMed, Cochrane library, ScienceDirect and PEDro databases. In order to identify appropriate studies, a combination of keywords ,,fascial manipulation”, „pain”, „dysfunction” was used. Finally, 10 publications were qualified for a literature review.ResultsIn the analyzed ten publications, improvement after treatment, reduction of pain and better functional outcome in patients conditions were figured. Six authors had some similar conclusions which state that the positive results of treatment last over time. One study presented opposite findings and state that the treatment has not brought long-lasting effects. ConclusionsConsidering all the reports on this subject, it is suggested that FM® therapy is worth considering in treatment of pain disorders, orthopaedic dysfunctions and postural disabilities. Further research of the subject on whether the treatment results are sustainable is necessary.

“…Despite the already described effectiveness of the FM method in other specific musculoskeletal conditions and connective tissue dysfunctions especially in preventing chronicity [35,52], no previous application of this method has been described for the conservative management of MS. Hence, the purpose of this prospective, pilot study was to describe and evaluate the effective application of the FM technique in the conservative management of patients with chronic pain affected by MS, after confirmation of neuroma by forefoot dynamic ultrasound.…”

Background and Objective: Morton’s syndrome (MS) is a common cause of neuropathic chronic forefoot pain, characterised by the development of a swelling of the common digital plantar nerve, whose aetiology is not fully known. There is currently no gold standard of treatment; nonoperative management commonly involves manual therapies, orthoses therapy and infiltrative techniques, while surgery is indicated after failure of conservative measures. The present preliminary study prospectively evaluates patients affected by MS treated by Fascial Manipulation technique (FM), a noninvasive manual therapy, focused on the release of the deep fascia, reducing its stiffness. Materials and Methods: Patients with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of MS with at least a 4-month history of neuropathic symptoms underwent a cycle of three weekly FM sessions. Clinical follow-up, including VAS and AOFAS scores, was performed 21 days (T1) and 3 months (T2) after treatment. Results: Nine patients, among 28 recruited initially, completed the manual therapy sessions and relative follow-up points. This noninvasive pain treatment led to significant improvement of VAS (p = 0.0034) and AOFAS scores (p = 0.0240) at the first follow-up (T1). At 3-month follow-up (T2), both scores decreased slightly, remaining however superior to the pre-treatment values. Only VAS was still significant (p = 0.0184). Conclusions: Despite the small size of the case series, this pilot study is unique in supporting Fascial Manipulation in the nonoperative treatment of MS. Further studies are needed with a large cohort of gender balanced patients to confirm the encouraging results obtained.
