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. Note: Registration will be on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited to 30 participants.
