Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) in West Jordan, Utah
At Utah ChiroSport, we utilize the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) to provide precise, hands on treatment for musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction. FDM is a specialized diagnostic and treatment approach that focuses on identifying and correcting distortions within the body’s fascia to restore proper function and reduce pain.
Patients in West Jordan, Utah choose FDM when they want fast, targeted relief and a treatment approach that addresses the root cause of their pain rather than just the symptoms.
What Is the Fascial Distortion Model?
The Fascial Distortion Model is an innovative clinical framework developed to diagnose and treat injuries related to fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, nerves, and organs.
FDM identifies six distinct types of fascial distortions, each associated with specific patterns of pain, movement restriction, and dysfunction. By carefully observing how a patient describes and demonstrates their pain, a trained FDM provider can accurately determine which distortion is present.
Benefits of the Fascial Distortion Model
FDM offers several unique benefits compared to traditional approaches:
Targeted and efficient treatment
Rapid pain relief
Improved joint mobility and flexibility
Enhanced functional movement
Reduced inflammation
Treatment tailored to each individual’s presentation
FDM is especially effective when time to recovery and performance matter.
Conditions Treated With FDM
The Fascial Distortion Model is used to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including:
Acute injuries and sudden pain
Chronic musculoskeletal pain
Sports related injuries
Joint pain and stiffness
Postural imbalances
Restricted range of motion
Repetitive stress and overuse injuries
FDM is commonly used for patients who have not fully responded to conventional treatments.
How FDM Works
FDM treatment focuses on correcting fascial distortions through specific manual therapy techniques. These techniques are applied directly to the affected tissue to:
Release fascial tension and restrictions
Restore proper tissue alignment
Improve movement patterns
Reduce inflammation
Promote faster healing
Because the treatment is highly targeted, many patients experience rapid changes in pain levels and mobility.

Hands on manual treatment to correct those distortions
