Fascial Manipulation
Free your body from pain*. Restore mobility. Feel like yourself again.
Fascial manipulation is a gentle but deep method of working with the body, aimed at restoring balance and freedom of movement through exposure to fascia — thin connective tissue membranes that permeate our entire body and connect muscles, organs, joints and even nerves into a single system.

What is fascia and why is it important?
Imagine an internal "web" that supports the shape of your body and ensures the coordinated operation of all systems. With injuries, chronic stress, inflammation, or stress, the fascia may thicken, curl, or lose elasticity. This often causes pain, movement limitations, and a general feeling of "tightness"—even for no apparent reason.
How does the method work?
The Fascial Manipulation® method, developed by Italian physiotherapist Luigi Stecco, relies on targeted, structured work with specific areas of fascial tissue.
During the session, the specialist identifies areas of increased tension and manually affects them, restoring glide, elasticity and coordination of the fascial network.
Why is the Fascial Manipulation method so effective?
For more than 40 years, the founders of the method have been developing and scientifically substantiating the methodology. The first scientific publications were made back in 1997 by Luigi himself, and today his work is continued by his children Carla Stecco and Antonio Stecco, doctors and scientists from the Padua Medical Institute.
Perhaps in the history of connective tissue research, Stekko's surname is one of the most famous in the professional community.
The Institute of Fascial Manipulation was opened in Italy in 1995 and began teaching a 3-year school for manual therapy specialists.

All this time, the training was conducted exclusively in Italian, but a few years ago the institute launched an English-language program. I was lucky enough to be in the second English-speaking stream - 40 specialists from all over the world are once again beginning to comprehend the secrets of connective tissue and study the most effective way to deal with injuries!
Fascial manipulation can be useful if you are faced with:
- Pain in the back, neck, shoulders, joints
- Reduced mobility after injury or surgery
- Muscle tension and clamps
- Impaired posture
- Sports injuries or overloads
- Frequent headaches (of muscular origin)
- Problems with breathing or digestion related to tension in the tissues
! The method is suitable both for recovery after exertion and for the prevention of chronic pain.
Contraindications
Fascial manipulations are not performed in the following conditions:
- Acute inflammatory and infectious diseases
- Thrombosis, thrombophlebitis
- Oncological diseases in the active stage
- Open wounds or skin diseases in the affected area
- Mental disorders that disrupt contact with the body
- Recent fractures and unstable joints

First, the specialist finds out in detail your life history (injuries, significant injuries, operations, chronic diseases) and complaints, then conducts motor tests, visual examination, and specialized palpation. After that, he works manually with the fascial zones using special techniques.
Important: the method can be sensitive, especially in areas of tension, but the sensations are quickly replaced by relief and restoration of freedom of movement.
