Partnership in Virginia Enhances Learning Opportunities for Physicians

If you’ve ever stood in the meat section of the grocery store, you’ve probably seen fascia, the shiny covering of muscle and the membrane between skin and muscle. Historically, anatomy students have removed the fascia to see what is beneath it rather than looking at the fascia itself, but the American Fascial Distortion Model Association (AFDMA) wants to change that, believing that the fascia plays a big role in body processes.

At its most basic level, fascia is designed to promote freedom of movement within the body. Anything that distorts that freedom of movement can result in pain. Once that distortion is corrected, pain is relieved. FDM treatments focus on maintaining the healthy functioning of the fascia, so it is useful in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries.
