Stecco method
Fascia release
Unwind restriction. Restore glide. Release the whole chain.
Fascial Manipulation as developed by Luigi Stecco, with the anatomical research of Carla Stecco, MD behind it. When hyaluronic acid within fascia thickens, layers stop sliding — densification — and load stops transferring cleanly. We locate those points through assessment and treat them specifically, rather than working the area that hurts.
This is right for you ifPain keeps returning · imaging is clear · relief from massage never lasts
Also treatsDigestive symptoms, period pain and pelvic discomfort via FMID
AfterwardsTemporary soreness or mild marking for 1–3 days is a normal response
S02 · Assessment
Where every plan starts
Biomechanics
Move smarter. Stand taller. Feel stronger.
Pain shows up where load breaks down, not where the problem started. We screen gait, range, breath mechanics and load tolerance to map how force actually travels through your kinetic chain — then treat the link that is failing to contribute, wherever it happens to be.
This is right for you ifOne side always feels different · the same injury recurs · a plateau won't shift
ScreenedGait · rotation · breath · load transfer · compensation patterns
Useful forGolfers, runners, racket sports and anyone with a one-sided pattern
S03 · Movement system
Swedish origin
Spiral stabilisation
Unwind dysfunction. Activate strength. Realign the spine.
A conditioning method using resistance bands to train the spiral muscle chains — the pattern that lifts and decompresses the spine as you walk. Release without reload is temporary; this is how a corrected pattern learns to hold under real load. Available one-to-one, in small groups and online.
This is right for you ifDisc-related pain · recurring back pain · a job that keeps you seated
FormatOne-to-one, group or online · bands supplied
Between visitsTwo to four exercises. Not a sixty-minute routine
S04 · Hands-on therapy
Recovery & maintenance
Sports massage
Recover faster. Train harder. Stay available.
Deep, purposeful soft tissue work for training loads and long weeks — flushing tissue, easing tone and keeping you available for the next session. Where symptoms keep returning we will say so, and move you onto assessment rather than selling you another massage.
This is right for you ifYou train regularly and want recovery, not diagnosis
TimingPre-event, post-event or as regular maintenance
Not a substitute forAssessment, if the same problem keeps coming back
S05 · Coaching
Tissue quality & recovery
Nutrition
Fuel better. Recover better. Feel the difference.
Hydration, protein and recovery inputs govern how tissue behaves — fascia included. Guidance here is practical and built around how you actually eat, alongside sleep and stress rather than in isolation from them. For digestive symptoms it works with fascia treatment, not instead of it.
This is right for you ifEnergy is flat, recovery is slow, or elimination diets haven't worked
ApproachAdjustments you can hold, not a plan you abandon in a fortnight
Pairs withFascia release for IBS · bespoke coaching for body composition
S06 · Programme
Physio-led training
Bespoke coaching
The INPEAK method, applied over months.
Physio-led exercise, personal training and rehabilitation held inside one plan: spiral stabilisation, resistance and strength work, mobility, core stability and breathing, progressed against reassessment. This is where physiotherapy-style rehab and personal training meet — one practitioner, one thread, no handover.
This is right for you ifLong-standing or multi-region problems, or a performance deadline
IncludesSessions, between-visit programming and periodic reassessment
FormatIn person at Alderley Edge, or online where appropriate
