Distance Learning (FAD) Method Mézières: Basic and Advanced Modules

The quality of in-person training, wherever you are.

Please note: this course is in Italian. If you are an English-speaking professional, we recommend the dedicated course in English:
👉 Musculoskeletal Biomechanics: Diagnosis and Treatment

The Mézières Method FAD course faithfully reproduces the entire in-person training program, both in its theoretical content and clinical demonstrations.
It was filmed with a professional production crew to create an immersive and engaging experience—designed to make the viewer feel like an actual participant in the classroom.

A flexible training solution, accessible from anywhere, without compromising on quality.
The same content, the same systemic approach, the same clinical focus.
Only the format changes: asynchronous, self-paced, and compatible with your schedule.

A clinical model that targets the cause, not just the symptom.

The Mézières Method is not a postural technique nor a generalized protocol. It is a therapeutic model based on systemic musculoskeletal biomechanics and the physics of elastic bodies.

It acts on the organization of shortened myofascial units, identifying the dominant vectors responsible for joint compression, misalignment, and pathological muscular substitutions.

In this FAD course, you will learn to observe the body through physical and systemic logic, recognizing adaptive mechanisms that generate recurrent and complex dysfunctions.

Through a progressive theoretical and practical approach, you will:

🧩 Understand the relationships between morphology, muscular retractions, and symptoms
🔎 Analyze joint misalignments using vector-based models
🎯 Address root causes with effective therapeutic strategies
🌀 Identify emerging abilities that mask true functional deficits
📐 Apply corrective postures and isometric stretching based on biomechanical coherence

➡ A causal, systemic, and scientifically grounded approach—designed for those who want to treat the body as a whole rather than reducing it to segments or compensations.

A specialized training path for those who work with the musculoskeletal system, posture, and movement.

The Mézières Method FAD course is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to acquire systemic clinical tools, grounded in science and applicable to the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

It is especially suited for those who want to:

• Develop clinical reasoning based on biomechanics and morphological analysis

• Improve outcomes in chronic, recurrent, or multifactorial cases

• Integrate their practice with a coherent, non-protocol-based therapeutic model

• Deepen their understanding of the relationships between body shape, muscular shortening, and postural adaptations

Eligible professions:

• Physiotherapists

• Medical doctors

• Osteopaths

• Massage therapists with recognized healthcare credentials

• Occupational therapists

• Pediatric neuro and psychomotor therapists (TNPEE – Italy only)

ℹ️ The course is reserved for licensed healthcare professionals.
➕ No prior experience in the Mézières Method is required: the course guides participants step by step through the development of the model.

👉 Musculoskeletal Biomechanics: Diagnosis and Treatment

A complete pathway to interpret and treat the body as an interdependent muscular system.

The FAD course is divided into two progressive modules, matching the structure of the in-person training:

• Basic Module – Theoretical foundations, biomechanics of muscular chains, static observation

• Advanced Module – Dynamic analysis, clinical reading of adaptive patterns, complex cases

Through video lectures, practical demonstrations, and supplementary materials, you will develop:

• A solid theoretical foundation on how myofascial units behave when shortened

• Tools to analyze joint misalignments and vertebral compression using vector-based logic

• Criteria to distinguish between primary and secondary muscular shortenings (of non-muscular origin)

• Skills to identify dynamic patterns, emerging abilities, and muscular substitutions

• Clinical use of isometric contractions in maximal physiological or relative elongation

• Observational and proprioceptive sensitivity to guide the system toward more efficient function

In summary:

You will learn to build personalized therapeutic strategies, based on a morphological reading of the body and the analysis of the forces that shape its structure over time.
A rigorous, analytical, and scientifically grounded approach, immediately applicable in your clinical practice.

A real testimonial on the effectiveness of the training course:

I have just completed the Mézières distance learning course and want to send you my warmest and sincerest congratulations!

📌 Is the FAD course equivalent to the in-person course?
Yes. The theoretical and practical content is exactly the same. The only difference is the delivery mode: asynchronous and self-paced for the FAD course, live sessions for the in-person course.

📌 Is the course accredited for ECM credits?
Yes. The course provides 50 ECM credits, valid for all eligible healthcare professions.
