Recovery From Plantar Heel Pain Using the Fascial Distortion Model a Pilot Study

NCT04571073 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 33

Last updated 2021-02-25

No results posted yet for this study

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.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fasciitis of Both Feet

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fascial Distortion Model

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.
