Fascial Distortion Model

Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) was developed by Dr. Stephen Typaldes, DO. It is treatment in which virtually all soft tissue injuries, or musculoskeletal complaints, are reviewed through one or more of the six different types of alterations to the body’s connective tissues.

The patient’s verbal and physical descriptions, coupled with the mechanism of injury and relevant orthopedic tests, will lead the practitioner to the proper form of soft tissue treatment. Here at EPC we utilize FDM, stretching and rehabilitative exercises to strengthen the injured tissue and joint to prevent reoccurrence.
