[The use of fascial distorsion model (FDM) in patient with limited mobility in the shoulder joint - a case report].

UNLABELLED: FDM is the anatomical model in which clinical signs in conjunction with the patient's body language allow to diagnose one or more of the six specific distortions of the fascial system described by the creator of the concept of FDM and doctor-osteopath Stephen Typaldos.

AIM: The aim of the study is to present the use of therapy Fascial Distorsion Model to patient with limited mobility in the shoulder joint.

A CASE REPORT: Here we report a 32 year old female patient with painful limitation of motion in the shoulder joint right continuing for three weeks. The patient is an office worker, three times a week swims. Pain appears periodicaly and only in certain ranges of motion of the right upper limb. In the functional study by FDM it is continuum distortion and triggerband distortion. Then the appropriate therapeutic techniques were used.

CONCLUSIONS

The patient regained full range of motion in the shoulder joint after using FDM techniques without pain that prevented her making a move. During the test, the patient performed functional movements in the full range of movement without pain. Techniques of the FDM are an interesting complement workshop therapy which is treating limits in the range of motion and pain in the joints.
