COURRAUD Christian et BERTRAND Isabelle<\/span><\/p>\n Many manual and movement therapies have focused on the properties of fascia to relieve pain, treat somatic diseases and manage health. Recent studies have shown that fascia can be considered as an interoceptive pathway, and therefore suggest that it may be involved in the process of Body and Self-awareness. This therapeutic paradigm, based on a phenomenological perspective and existential philosophy, aims to develop the subjective experience of the body with a view to reunifying body and mind. It is applied in the field of mental health and more recently in physical therapy to manage somatic disorders and pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n DBM Fasciatherapy (Danis Bois Method), a manual therapy, has long been conceived as an approach that emphasizes the role of fascia in achieving balance between body and mind. It uses manual touch to modify body perception and enrich bodily experience, with the aim of improving physical and mental health. This paper summarizes research findings that illustrate the mind\/body integration process and the clinical results observed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Methodology<\/b><\/p>\n CERAP\/UFP (Centre d’Etude et de Recherche Appliqu\u00e9e en Psychop\u00e9dagogie perceptive) develops programs to enrich perception of the body and the self, and evaluates their applications in the fields of health, education and art, using a variety of qualitative, mixed and clinical methodologies. Part of CERAP\/UFP’s research is devoted to evaluating the clinical, educational and relational aspects of MDB fasciatherapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We have selected the qualitative research carried out at CERAP\/UFP that enables us to identify and understand the nature of the mind\/body integration process as experienced by patients during MDB fasciatherapy sessions.We have also chosen to present research highlighting the main clinical effects of MDB fasciatherapy on physical and psychological health.<\/span><\/p>\n Results<\/b><\/p>\n The results of qualitative studies highlight the existence of a progressive process of body\/mind integration (warmth, fullness, depth, presence and sense of self), accompanied by a sense of somato-psychic well-being (unified body, liberation, reduced pain and tension) and a sense of self (presence to self, sense of existence).The results of clinical studies indicate that DBM fasciatherapy is of interest in the accompaniment of problems such as somatization, chronic low back pain, anxiety, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic syndrome (or obesity).<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion :<\/b><\/p>\n These results provide a better understanding of why MDB fascia therapy is considered a manual therapy of body and self-awareness (here I think we should leave the term Body and Self Awarness), and suggest that fascia therapies have the potential to make a major contribution to the overall health of individuals, both somatically and psychologically.To do so, however, they need to broaden their paradigm by integrating a sensitive and subjective conception of the body, and by drawing on the rigor of methodologies such as phenomenology and qualitative research to objectify and evaluate these processes of body and self-awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Auteurs\u00a0 COURRAUD Christian et BERTRAND Isabelle Introduction Many manual and movement therapies have focused on the properties of fascia to relieve pain, treat somatic diseases and manage health.
