Manual Therapy Informed by the Fascia Distortion Model for Plantar Heel Pain: Results of a Single-arm Prospective Effectiveness Study

Eisenhower Army Medical Center·interventional·Posted Sep 30, 2020·Updated Feb 25, 2021

In Brief

A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Fascial Distortion Model for Plantar Fasciitis of Both Feet. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

To assess feasibility and determine preliminary efficacy of Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) for plantar heel pain (PHP) in a pilot study. The FDM is a hands on direct technique that is non-invasive and has been shown in preliminary studies to be effective in treating musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. Study participants will be Active Duty Service Members (SM) in the Fort Gordon catchment area.

Interventions

Fascial Distortion Modelprocedure

Using physical exam and manual manipulation skills informed by the FDM, he identified and treated locations of presumed fascial distortion about the plantar area of the foot; "distortions" could include any of the six reported fascial anomalies in the FDM: continuum distortions, trigger bands, herniated trigger points, folding distortions, cylinder distortions, and tectonic fixations. Each distortion is associated with a recommended reparative manipulation. The purported mechanism of action is that the distortion-specific manipulation restores normal fascial homogeneity.
