Advantages of FSM
How might FSM be an advantage to you in your practice?
What would happen in your practice if you could reduce inflammation by 62% in four minutes (1, 3), and increase ATP production by 500%? (2)
FSM changes what is possible...
IF YOU TREAT...
You'll know that treatment can be painful for the patient.
FSM can achieve myofascial release without pain, and the effect is observed very quickly.
IF YOU TREAT patients with...
You'll know the iliopsoas and rectus abdominus muscles are very important and may harbour trigger points but they are difficult to reach effectively.
FSM can easily reach them when applied in a way that sandwiches those muscles.
IF YOU TREAT tissues with...
You'll know they are harder to work with, yet can be a source of pain.
FSM has been observed to result in softening of scar tissue, easily and painlessly.
IF YOU TREAT injured...
You'll know they want to get better as rapidly as possible!
FSM significantly prevents delayed onset muscle soreness [DOMS] (3) and has been observed to speed up the healing time after injury.
IF YOU TREAT...
You'll know TENS & acupuncture block nerve signals to help reduce pain.
FSM appears to reduce inflammation in the spinal cord itself, when the current is run from neck to feet (4).
IF YOU TREAT...
You'll know you need to also treat the synergistic and/or opposing muscles.
FSM treats these simultaneously because it is applied in a way that sandwiches both muscle groups, thus facilitating return to balanced function.
IF YOU TREAT...
You'll know they can be 'emotionally-laden'.
FSM utilises specific frequencies that have been observed to be effective in such cases where standard therapy either had been ineffective or of only short-lived benefit.
IF YOU USE MASSAGE to treat...
You'll know it's tiring and potentially injurious to you.
FSM is applied using only gentle pressure, as the frequencies and the current themselves appear to do the work. This allows the therapist's hands to be relaxed and to better sense the tissue changes as they occur with treatment.
FSM is 
in how it's applied
- With your hands in the gloves, applied through the relevant body area.
- With the gloves in wet towels, applied through the relevant body area.
- With the gloves in towels either end of the limb being massaged.
- Through adhesive electrodes.
- Attended, or unattended treatments with automated equipment.
PRECAUTIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Pregnancy - risk unknown, hence FSM use contra-indicated
- Pacemaker - demand-type - need to check with manufacturer
- New injury - avoid using frequencies that might influence scar tissue
- Cancer - effect unknown, hence FSM not used
- Spinal cord compression or stenosis - pain can be temporarily
increased if current is run through area, but this effect is reversible. - Encapsulated infection - eg gall bladder or tooth - can increase pain.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
- 'Detox' reaction after myofascial Rx - reduce by drinking more water & taking an anti-oxidant.
MAXIMISING 
OF TREATMENT
No technique is 100% effective and FSM is no exception. Because the frequencies for conditions and tissue types are so specific, the effectiveness of FSM depends almost entirely on making an accurate diagnosis so as to choose the right frequencies to use for each case.
For instance, shoulder pain may arise from muscle, tendon, bursa or the joint. There are different frequencies that can effectively treat each of these pain generators. But if you treat the tendon and the pain is from a bursa, you may change the tendon but you won't have treated the pain as it is not arising from the tendon.
This is why potential FSM therapists need to have had training in a healthcare profession to be able to use FSM. And during the Core FSM training course, therapists are provided with clinical protocols for diagnosing and treating common injuries and conditions so as to maximise the efficacy of treatment.
MAXIMISING 
OF TREATMENT SESSIONS
- Length of treatment session – use automated equipment, or apply 2 machines concurrently. Loan patient a Home Care unit to use at home.
- Be sure to address any perpetuating factors such as biomechanical factors, deconditioning, poor sleep, poor diet, and emotional stress.
JOIN THE 
REVOLUTION!
The frequencies appear to do exactly what they are alleged to do through what science now knows as the principles of biological resonance (5). Using FSM, therapists can achieve results never before possible. That's why we say 'FSM changes what is possible in pain management and health care'.
