What is Fasciatherapy?

Fasciatherapy (MDB – Méthode Danis Bois) is a gentle manual therapy developed in Europe in the 1980s by Professor Danis Bois, a French physiotherapist, osteopath, and researcher. It focuses on the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and links muscles, nerves, and organs — forming a continuous fabric throughout the body.

In practice, the fasciatherapist uses precise, non-invasive techniques to listen to the body’s tissues, release areas of tension, and trace their origin. You can imagine fascia as a vast web: by following one thread after another, the therapy helps the body recover balance and restore mobility.

Fasciatherapy goes beyond anatomy alone. It also considers how physical, physiological, and emotional factors interact, inviting the person to take an active role through awareness and guided perception. By connecting body and mind in this way, fasciatherapy can address pain, movement limitations, and functional challenges at their source.

Practitioners are trained through a structured four-year program at Fascia College in Belgium, ensuring a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems and the skills to support each patient’s healing process.
