Abstract
This article provides a review of the literature regarding the original Fascial Distortion Model (FDM). Model was proposed by the American osteopathic doctor S. Typaldos. The article gives brief data on his biography, provides information about the history of the method discovery. Information on the properties and physiology of connective tissue and fascia is presented in sufficient detail. The classification of fascial structures proposed by S. Typaldos with regard to their anatomical and functional features is given. The diagnostic criteria of the six variants of fascial distortions described by S. Typaldos are represented in detail. The principles of FDM treatment are described. Contraindications and possible undesirable reactions that may occur during treatment or after FDM therapy are given. Data on clinical trials conducted in this area are presented.
