Fascial manipulation according to Stecco
Fascial manipulation according to Stecco is a specific method of physiotherapy and rehabilitation aimed at treating disorders of the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, nerves and organs. This method, developed by the Italian physiotherapist Luigi Stecco and further developed by his children (Carla and Antonio Stecco), is based on precise mapping of the fascial chains and targeted treatment of key points. This method is particularly suitable for athletes and people with chronic problems without a known cause.
What is fascia?
- Fascia is a three-dimensional network of connective tissue in the body that provides mechanical support, force transmission and proprioception.
- Fascia dysfunction (e.g., stiffness, inflammation, scarring) can cause pain, limitation of movement, or postural disturbances.
