I recently completed Level 2 in the Fascial Manipulation series with Jack Williams in Melbourne. My introduction comprised 15-hours or so of pre-Course webinar content, delivered by Carla and Antonio Stecco themselves, the quality, depth and value of which was worth “the price of admission alone”!
Jack is adept, confident and patient, with a profound understanding of the material. His anatomical knowledge and his ability to convey complex application paradigms with ease, is enviable. He is ultimately approachable, and more than willing to answer any questions during and after the course, offering follow-up in-person and online forums to share experiences and enhance ongoing learning.
I did Level 1 many years ago, and am looking to repeat this with Jack in 2026, complete with several more hours of pre-Course webinar information. GOLD! Fascial Manipulation technique has added another dimension to my clinical skill-set. I’m so looking forward to expanding into Level 3 and 4 in (hopefully!) 2027″.
I’ve completed Certificate Level 1, am close to finishing Level 2, and plan to enrol in Levels 3 and 4 as soon as they are available in Australia. The improvement in clinical outcomes I’ve seen through Fascial Manipulation has been outstanding—far beyond what I achieved with previous fascial techniques.
Jack has been an exceptional instructor throughout. His teaching is clear and insightful, and he’s gone above and beyond by organising post-course catch-ups and being readily available to answer questions between modules.
I strongly recommend Fascial Manipulation to any manual therapist who wants to take their practice to a more precise, effective, and holistic level.
My studies in Fascial Manipulation by the Stecco group have been nothing short of transformative for both my clinical practice and conceptual framework. The method is built on an exceptionally robust foundation, supported by an impressive and continually evolving body of research spanning detailed fascial anatomy, physiology, and clinical trials of the approach.
The breadth and depth of the model underpinning FM is what makes it so appealing to clinicians who enjoy exploring complex subjects at a mechanistic level. Exposure to this detailed, evidence-informed understanding of the fascial system has acted as a significant catalyst in my professional development.
More than just adding a new technique, this approach has forced me to fundamentally reconsider and re-interpret a number of concepts central to musculoskeletal management, such as motor control, pain science and the role of connective tissue in force transmission and load management. This integration has not just been academic; over time, it has resulted in a profound and positive change in my approach to patient care and has shifted my working model of the role of manual therapy in musculoskeletal healthcare.
