Pre-Course: FDM Module 1
Shoulder, Knee, & Ankle
AOCPMR’s education partner, The FDM Academy, is offering Module 1 on treating the shoulder, knee and ankle.
- Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a patient-centered model of assessment and treatment.
- FDM is a system of pattern recognition, where the hand gestures used by a patient to describe their symptoms are divided into six distinct categories of dysfunction. Treatment choices are correlated to the district hand gestures.
- The goal of FDM treatment is to restore normal motion and reduce fear of movement in the patient, allowing them to return to function faster, while reducing reliance on traditional treatments.
