Anyone who uses the FDM knows of its impact on quality of life, pain, and function. It was first discovered 33 years ago, yet we have very few published studies on the Fascial Distortion Model. The AFDMA research committee encourages and supports your contribution to the literature. This can be a case study or more extensive research. You can see our research page, which we update frequently with all the published studies we can find. You can see examples, spur ideas, and identify the holes in our published research.
It is required that articles submitted to our research contest are written in a format consistent with the minimal requirements to submit for publication by a reputable journal, such as the JOM or AAOJ (see links for case study publication outlines). Contact Us if you need assistance with publication.
2026 research contest to be announced soon.
