Building on the knowledge obtained in the Level 1 training module,
Level 2 AIM seminars will offer you exclusive expert knowledge in the FDM treatment of various body regions.
Our lecturers are full-time FDM therapists. Equipped with years of experience, they are excellent and methodical teachers.
Our FDM Weekend Clinic is part of the Level 2 seminar series. You will treat regular OPD patients under supervision, using the Fascial Distortion Model.
