Fascial Manipulation Therapy in Montvale, NJ
What Is Fascial Manipulation?
Fascial Manipulation is a specialized manual therapy that targets the body’s fascia—a network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, and organs. When fascia becomes tight, stiff, or restricted due to injury, overuse, or poor posture, it can cause pain, inflammation, and movement dysfunction.
At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, Dr. Kelly Blundy, IFMCP, DC, BCIM, ART, offers Fascial Manipulation Therapy to restore tissue mobility, relieve musculoskeletal discomfort, and improve overall functional movement. This scientifically backed approach helps reduce pain, enhance coordination, and restore optimal muscle performance—naturally and effectively.
We proudly offer this treatment at our Montvale, NJ location, serving patients across Bergen County.
How Does Fascial Manipulation Work?
Fascial Manipulation, based on the Stecco Method, focuses on identifying specific points along the fascia known as Centers of Coordination (CCs) and Centers of Fusion (CFs). These points are key areas where muscle fibers, fascia, and movement patterns converge.
When these points become restricted or inflamed, they can disrupt normal movement and cause pain—sometimes even in distant areas of the body.
-
Dr. Blundy Applies Deep, Targeted Manual Pressure To release tension in key fascial points.
-
Normal Sliding and Gliding Between Tissues is Restored To reduce restriction and discomfort.
-
Fascia Mobility Improves Helps muscles and joints move more freely and efficiently.
The result? Reduced pain, improved posture, and smoother, more coordinated movement.
What Conditions Can Fascial Manipulation Help Treat?
Fascial Manipulation is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and movement-related disorders, including:
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Shoulder, hip, or knee stiffness
- Postural imbalance and restricted mobility
- Overuse injuries and repetitive strain
- Tendinopathies and myofascial pain syndromes
- Sports injuries and performance limitations
- Nerve entrapments related to fascial restriction
- Post-surgical or scar-related tightness
Because fascia is interconnected throughout the body, treatment often produces whole-body benefits, improving coordination, balance, and energy efficiency.

What to Expect During a Fascial Manipulation Session
Your session begins with a detailed movement assessment and medical history review to identify areas of fascial dysfunction.
- Apply deep manual pressure to targeted fascial points (CCs and CFs).
- Use movement testing to assess how the fascia responds.
- Educate you on posture and movement strategies to maintain results.
You may experience mild soreness following treatment—similar to post-exercise muscle fatigue—as the tissues adapt to improved mobility. Most patients report noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.
