FDM therapy

What does the FDM method involve?

A key diagnostic element of FDM is body language – the therapist interprets gestures
and the way the patient describes their symptoms. This allows for a fast
and precise identification of the source of the problem.

The method is used in the treatment of sports and orthopedic injuries, as well as chronic
pain ailments such as:

• sprains and dislocations,
• muscle tears,
• spinal dysfunctions and back pain,
• painful shoulder syndrome, frozen shoulder,
• epicondylitis, arthritis, lumbago,
• muscle injuries, Achilles tendonitis.

Advantages of FDM therapy

• accurate diagnostics thanks to the analysis of gestures and the patient's description,
• focus on the actual cause of the ailments,
• often immediate improvement after the treatment,
• pain reduction and improvement in range of motion,
• faster return to activity after injuries and surgeries.

Limitations of the method

• lack of clear scientific studies confirming effectiveness,
• requires specialized training and experience of the therapist,
• it is not suitable for all patients,
• may cause pain or discomfort during or after the procedure.

Contraindications to FDM

• skin lesions,
