life and work

Typaldos attended the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine (UHS-COM) in Kansas City (Missouri) from 1982 to 1986 , where he graduated with a Doctor of Osteopathy in May 1986 . He gained his first clinical experience in hospitals in Ohio and Maryland before moving with his family to Yuba City, California in 1991. There he developed the idea of ​​the "trigger band" based on the complaint gestures of a patient with neck problems.

Typaldos later recognized further patterns based on the verbal descriptions and the gestures of complaint and named them as the "herniated trigger point". At the beginning of 1992 the description of the "continuum distortion" followed. In March 1992 he gave a lecture on his discoveries for the first time. He initially called it the Fascial Continuum Model .

From 1992 to 1996 Typaldos worked in an emergency room in Fort Worth , Texas, and developed further recurring patterns in patients in terms of complaint severity, subjective descriptions and complaint gestures. In the spring of 1994 he published his first article in The AAO Journal on the fascia distortion model . This was followed by two articles on trigger band technology and continuum technology. From 1995 his articles were also published in the journal of the British Osteopathy Association.

In 1997 Typaldos published his ideas in book form in self-publishing . He called his medical considerations Orthopathic Medicine , as a combination of orthopedics and osteopathy. Due to the great demand, a second revised and expanded edition followed in 1998 and a third in 1999. This was also published in German translation. A fourth, newly written edition followed in 2002. In this significantly expanded edition, Typaldos referred to cardiological, internal and neurological diseases with his medical concept, which he now called the fascia distortion model .

In 1996 Typaldos opened a practice for orthopathic medicine in Bangor . In 1997 the first seminar on the fascia distortion model took place in Vienna . Seminars followed in the USA, France and Portugal. The first international FDM symposium took place in Bangor in 2000. The second international meeting followed in Anchorage in 2005 , where Typaldos certified two of his students as FDM instructors: the Austrian doctor Georg Harrer and the Japanese Keisuke Tanaka.

Stephen Typaldos suffered a heart attack on March 28, 2006, and died on April 5, 2006, just a few days after his 49th birthday.
