Fascial Distortion Model Workshop
Tuesday. April 30, 2024
8:00 a.m.-12:00 noon & 1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. CT
Workshop Lead by: Todd Capistrant, DO
In this introduction to the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)
learn how adding the principles of FDM to your thought process can improve
an athlete’s recovery and performance. We will explain why providers across the
country call the FDM “The most powerful sideline tool I have!” By learning to think
in the model and by applying simple manual therapy techniques that blend seamlessly with your osteopathic tool box, you will learn how to expand your differential diagnosis and quickly return athletes to participation. The principles
of FDM are rapidly becoming a mainstay for athletes and teams. Attending this
course will introduce you to the visual cues and verbal descriptions that drive the
FDM. This is an opportunity for anyone, including those with little manual therapy
experience, to bring hands-on techniques to their practice by practicing on your
fellow attendees. We will discuss the basic principles of FDM while learning to
address ankle, foot, and shoulder injuries.
Participants will leave this one-day introduction with a powerful tool
that can address injuries to the fascial matrix, taking our diagnosis beyond inflammation. Be ready to put these techniques into practice the next day in
the clinic or on the sideline. Registration will open early February. This workshop is available at a separate fee from the Conference registration fee.

• Refreshment breaks
• Workshop materials
• Up to 8.0 AOA Category 1-A CME credits
