Dr. Ebling is among a very small group of doctors and physical therapists in the country to have completed the full US based training in this system of working with fascia. In 2010 she was fortunate enough to be taught by European Physiotherapists who averaged 15 years of clinical experience with the Stecco work. They each continue to work directly with the Stecco family to fine tune the technique through research and study while striving for consistency in training and practice.
In September of 2014 she traveled to Italy where she studied directly with Carla, Antonio and Luigi to learn how to use this scientifically sound method to treat internal disorders. While organs cannot be directly accessed, Fascial Manipulation strives to alter the space that each organ occupies as well as the autonomic input so that the body can restore homeostasis and correct itself before pathology sets in. This was only the third class ever to be offered in English and she is excited to put the expanded methodology into practice to treat a variety of musculoskeletal, lymphatic and visceral conditions. How is Fascial Manipulation© different?

Many techniques that focus on deeper structures of the body also work with the fascia, FM is unique in that specific points have been identified through both clinical as well as scientific means. These points are not always necessarily within a muscle, but more importantly are found where the majority of forces converge through a muscle or group of muscles to coordinate or control the movements that we perform. After an injury or overuse, these regions often show deficiency in hyaluronic acid and become dehydrated, resulting in thickened areas that have less glide associated with them. The increased thickness then affects the force transmission required for strong and coordinated movements. Balanced force transmission, like the picture above shows, can result in incredibly strong yet flexible structures.
