What You Will Learn: Join Dr. Jerad Bludorn as he reviews 3-4 cases where traditional chiropractic, athletic training or exercise programs were not enough and how (FMST) Fluid Motion Soft Tissue Tools were the clinical key to changing the long term outcome of the patient. This 1-hour Free webinar will give clinicians a real world idea on how (FMST) tools can be introduced as a layered therapy in their clinics. Speaker: Jerad Bludorn, DC. Dr. Bludorn is a Chiropractic Physician and Acupuncturist with an extensive background in soft tissue therapy, functional movement and stability. He has trained extensively with Motion Palpation institute as well as many other treatment techniques and world renown lecturers and researchers.

S Fluid Motion Tools features:
Fluid motion Tools consist of 2 tools housed in
a durable carrying case with custom cut
foam for travel, onsite work and to reduce
tools wear. An instruction manual for
implementation to your practice, and
innovative treatment ideas.
The Fluid Motion Tools are constructed from a
metal injected plastic material, a
combination of metal and plastic fused
together and plastic injection molded to
the particular shapes. The F1 and F2
Tools are dense for superior detection of
adhesions that exsit between fascial
layers yet soft enoughto have a light feel
in your hand

3. S F1 Large Tool
S Fluid Motion large tool is utilized for
work over large muscle groups
including the hip, chest and lower back
regions. Treatment edges are along all
borders of the tool can be used on
either side of the tool on both

Case # 1 Chronic severe neck pain with headaches
Clinical History
-46 year old female nurse suffered for years with chronic neck
tension primarily on the left side of her neck with exacerbation
headaches that radiated to the frontal region of her head. She had
been treated with chiropractic manipulation weekly to bi-monthly
for over 10 years, and a massage once per month. Her symptoms
would be reduced for 1-3 days before she felt an increase in pain
and noted if she didn’t seek treatment she would have a severe
headache within 48 hours. Traditional NSAIDs were ineffective,
unless she was continuously medicated.

from her frontal forehead to her lumbosacral
region originating in her left SI joint region
-Functional wall squat evaluation revealed a right
hip drop with posterior sheer causing a fascial
pull to the frontal muscle region of her forehead.
-Extensive resting tension in her middle traps and
upper thoracic region as well as her upper chest
and latissimusdorsi regions.

the upper cervical, cervical , and upper thoracic
region to identify most sensitivity, and restriction.
-AROM into rotation and lateral flexion was
utilized with FMST mobilization in the upper
cervical region stroking each direction
-Fascial treatment to occipital, parietal and
frontal region of the skull

Treatment approach with FMST
-Light FMST assessment and mobilization into
flexion, extension and RLFtowards the pain
-Supine gluteal and hamstring longitudinal soft
tissue mobilization with active adduction/abduction
resistance in the hip region.

fatigue. LELT nerve mobilization 15 reps supine as
well as drop piece manipulation.
-Patient then received passive therapy as a layered
treatment and was sent home with an SI belt

increases in ROM and decrease in pain every visit.
-Patients post tx was within normal ROM and she
exhibited, minimal tension with orthopedic testing
and negative MSR.

Case #3 Chronic right shoulder pain in a pitcher
Clinical History:
-36 year old male farmer and amateur baseball pitcher with chronic shoulder pain
and impingement with pitching and farm related work. He first presented to our
office early in his baseball season. He had pitched 3 games and progressively got
worse. Decreased velocity and reduced pitch count allowed him to keep playing. We
discussed him not playing baseball anymore as an option that he had thought about
to decrease the pain. He had tried manipulation, therapy and weight training over
the last year in an effort to strengthen the shoulder, but since the baseball and
spring planting started, he had been progressively worse.

140-180 in flexion
-Neers, Hawkins, and AC impingement were positive for
deep anterior shoulder pain.
-Rotator cuff strength testing revealed weakness and
pain in all 4 muscles,
-FMST Fascial assessment revealed tension and
excessive stress on the spiral line and superficial back
arm line.

covering the posterior shoulder and tricep
- Resisted AROM 90/90 with Ext rotation
-Fascial longitudinal strokes over the anterior chest
and serratus region

pattern and “chasing the weakness” with the FMST
approach and noted his ROM remained improved
from the first visit.

and muscular scarring continued throughout the
season.
