🧬 A Systemic Biomechanical Approach to Complex Dysfunction

This course introduces a biomechanical framework for assessing and treating complex dysfunctions through the lens of muscular vectors, joint compression, and systemic adaptations.
It is based on the principles of the Mézières Method — a scientific approach rooted in musculoskeletal biomechanics and the laws of physics.

Rather than treating symptoms locally or following fixed protocols, you’ll learn to interpret the body as an integrated system, where every adaptation follows a predictable mechanical logic.

You’ll learn to:

  • Analyze the shortening of muscular vectors and their compressive effects

  • Identify adaptive patterns that preserve function but disrupt alignment

  • Link local symptoms to systemic dysfunctions through biomechanical reasoning

Developed for rehabilitation professionals, this course offers a structured clinical pathway to address chronic, recurrent, or unexplained dysfunctions in a truly systemic way.

🔎 When Symptoms Keep Coming Back, the Root Cause May Lie Elsewhere

🔎 When Symptoms Keep Coming Back, the Root Cause May Lie Elsewhere
Segmental treatments often relieve symptoms — but what happens when the pain returns, or shifts to another area?
That’s when we need a broader lens to understand the body’s deeper imbalances.

This course is based on a systemic biomechanical model that interprets the human body as an interconnected structure, where every adaptation follows specific mechanical rules.
Grounded in musculoskeletal biomechanics and the laws of physics, this model goes beyond anatomy to reveal the deeper dynamics that govern dysfunction.

This is not a postural routine or a stretching method.
It’s a clinical framework that helps you identify the shortened muscular vectors responsible for compressive forces, joint misalignments, and pain patterns that often appear far from their origin.

By analyzing how the body adapts, you can address the underlying cause — not just its effects.

“The body is not something to be corrected.
It’s something to be listened to, freed, and reorganized.”

📚 What You’ll Gain from This Systemic Biomechanical Approach
✔ A new clinical framework to interpret dysfunction through systemic biomechanics
✔ The ability to identify dominant muscular vectors that alter joint alignment
✔ Tools to recognize compensatory strategies the body uses to adapt
✔ Techniques to apply isometric elongation and reorganize the system — not just the symptom
✔ 38 hours of advanced video training
✔ Real-time demonstrations on live models
✔ Lifetime access to all lessons
✔ High-quality content filmed by a professional crew
✔ Downloadable resources, clinical tools, and scientific insights

🔬 Scientific Foundations

A rigorous model — and a different way of observing the body

Before showing you what happens in a treatment session, we want to introduce the scientific foundations behind this systemic biomechanical model:
a framework that integrates biomechanics, physics, and systems theory to explain how dysfunctions emerge and persist.

This approach is based on the core principles first observed by Françoise Mézières and later systematized through applied physics and clinical biomechanics.

It rests on three fundamental pillars:

• Musculoskeletal biomechanics applied to functional chains
• Linear physics: vector forces, joint levers, and equilibrium relationships
• Systemic models: adaptive interactions between muscles, joints, and body segments

ℹ️ You don’t need to be familiar with these concepts in advance.
Throughout the course, you’ll be guided step by step in understanding systemic biomechanics, even if you're starting from scratch.
Each principle is clearly explained, demonstrated in clinical settings, and applied to real-world cases.

Unlike analytical or segmental approaches, this model sees the body as an interdependent system —
where every local dysfunction is the result of global compensations that unfold over time.

The muscular system is understood as a complex functional unit:
capable of reorganizing itself in response to internal and external forces,
but also prone to compromises that, if left unrecognized, lead to pain, stiffness, asymmetry, and recurrence.

The scientific value of this model lies not only in its biomechanical consistency,
but in its ability to interpret the body through systemic logic.

In the following sections, we’ll explore the physical principles and adaptive dynamics
that make this approach so effective in clinical practice.

🧩 Two Simple Equations to Understand Complex Dysfunctions

Resistant Force – Working Force = Dysfunction

🟥 Resistant Force (RF)
The sum of all factors that oppose movement or natural upright posture:

• Muscular shortenings
• Myofascial retractions
• Joint misalignments
• Vertebral compressions

🟩 Working Force (WF)
The body’s functional capacity to:

• Move efficiently
• Maintain balance
• Handle loads
• Adapt to internal and external stimuli

📉 When the Resistant Force exceeds the Working Force, the body enters a state of compensation:

• Secondary muscular chains are activated
• Altered movement patterns emerge
• Stiffness and recurring pain appear

🎯 This treatment model aims to reduce the Resistant Force through isometric work in maximum elongation,
restoring the system’s biomechanical efficiency and adaptive potential.


🧠 Where Does Dysfunction Start?
Two Clinical Scenarios for Differential Diagnosis

To identify the primary cause of dysfunction, this systemic model distinguishes between two fundamental scenarios:

🔹 Scenario 1 – Shortened muscles → Skeleton adapts
📌 In the absence of significant skeletal deformities (congenital or traumatic)
👉 Myofascial shortening deforms the skeleton
→ Misalignments, compressions, dysfunctions
✅ The skeleton is the effect of muscular retractions

🔸 Scenario 2 – Deformed skeleton → Muscles adapt
📌 In the presence of structural skeletal deformities
👉 The muscular system adapts to the deformation
→ Generating new, distant dysfunctions
✅ The muscles are victims of compensatory adaptation

📌 This logic explains why the cause is never located where the symptom appears —
and why every compensation requires a systemic interpretation in order to be truly resolved.

“Every body tells this equation:
Wherever there is pain, a force came before it.”


🔬 This biomechanical framework — developed from the principles observed by Françoise Mézières — is the direct consequence of these equations.
It doesn’t just treat the symptom — it targets the underlying force vectors that cause dysfunction.


📦 What This Model Gives You
• A systemic biomechanical lens to interpret dysfunctions beyond the symptom
• A measurable relationship between Resistant Force and Working Force
• Two clear diagnostic scenarios to distinguish muscular vs. skeletal origins
• A practical framework to orient treatment through physical logic and adaptation
• A principle that helps you recognize compensations, identify their origin, and act on the primary vector


🖼️ Visual Summary
A simple framework to guide systemic observation and treatment

Musculoskeletal dysfunctions can be understood through:

• The balance between Resistant Force and Working Force
• The distinction between muscular and skeletal origins

👇 Below is a visual summary of the two foundational equations derived from the Mézières tradition —
a clear and powerful clinical tool to guide your analysis and treatment process.

📌 You’ll revisit this model throughout the course, in your downloadable materials,
in each video module, and in real clinical demonstrations.

⚙️ The Three Biomechanical Pillars of the Systemic Model

A logical framework to interpret dysfunctions systemically

This model is not based on fixed protocols.
Instead, it rests on three core biomechanical principles that allow you to interpret each dysfunction as the result of an interconnected system.


1️⃣ Muscle as a Vector of Force
Every muscle behaves like a vector: it has a preferred direction along which it applies force.
When a muscle is shortened, it tends to pull the joint toward its axis, altering its spatial orientation.

The more powerful or retracted the muscle, the greater the compressive force it exerts along its vector.


2️⃣ Loss of Physiological Joint Sequencing
Muscular shortening forces the skeleton to reorganize in a compensatory way.
This leads to a disruption of the natural sequence between skeletal segments, with visible structural consequences:

• Joint misalignments
• Organized rigidity
• Altered motor patterns


3️⃣ The Body as a Complex System
The human body does not behave in a linear way.
It is an adaptive system constantly seeking equilibrium.
When one area is under strain, other areas activate to compensate.

These strategies may be functional at first —
but they become dysfunctional if the primary cause is not addressed.


📌 Throughout the course, you’ll explore numerous clinical examples
to help you identify these three principles in real bodies, and understand how they interact dynamically.


📦 How These Three Pillars Support Your Clinical Practice
Muscle as vector
→ Helps you observe how a specific muscular shortening alters joint alignment.

Joint sequencing
→ Allows you to recognize when and where the skeleton has reorganized in a compensatory pattern.

Complex system
→ Guides you in identifying distant adaptations that result from a primary dysfunction.

📌 These three pillars empower you to observe the body through a systemic lens —
moving beyond segmental logic to treat the true origin of dysfunction.

🛠️ How the Mézières Method Works:

Treating the cause — not just the symptom

This treatment approach does not focus on external form or joint mobility alone.
It works on the forces that disorganize the skeletal structure, with the goal of restoring global function.

The treatment aims to:

Reduce the Resistant Force (RF) — the internal resistance that drives the body toward compensation
Restore the Working Force (WF) — the muscular system’s ability to function without rigidity, asymmetry, or maladaptive patterns

📌 What does this mean in practice?
This logic helps you recognize the primary cause, even when the symptom appears localized.
Each session is structured around identifying and reprogramming dysfunctional muscular vectors
using isometric contractions in maximum elongation.


🔍 Clinical Example: Persistent Knee Pain
Is it a local dysfunction — or a referred one?

Local hypothesis
If the cause is actually in the knee, you might observe:

• Clear axial deviation
• Abnormal articular contact (e.g., patellofemoral or tibiofemoral compression)
• Imbalance of local muscular vectors

Referred hypothesis (more frequent in chronic cases)
If the pain stems from a distant adaptation:

• Lumbar retractions (e.g., psoas, quadratus lumborum)
• Segmental innervation patterns (e.g., L3–L4 linked to the knees)
• Treating the lumbar region often reduces pain — without acting directly on the knee

Secondary origin (above the lumbar segment)
• Cervical instability with descending effects
• Visceral dysfunctions (e.g., colon, urogenital system)
• Complex systemic patterns with multiple levels of adaptation

Clinical Conclusion
In this model, resolution is not achieved by treating the symptom directly —
but by identifying and acting on the primary muscular vector that created the dysfunction.

The approach is systemic, logical, and clinically verifiable.


🔬 Treatment is performed through isometric contractions in maximum elongation to:

• Reduce the Resistant Force (RF)
• Reactivate the Working Force (WF)
• Restore biomechanical efficiency across the system


📦 What You’ll Learn with This Treatment Logic
• How to recognize when pain is just the expression of a distant adaptation
• How to differentiate between local and referred dysfunctions, even without obvious signs
• How to identify the primary muscular vector disrupting the joint sequence
• How to build a treatment that targets the underlying biomechanical cause, not the symptomatic area
• How to use isometric elongation techniques to restore systemic balance and adaptability

📌 This is a clinical paradigm shift:
You’ll learn to treat the system, not just the area in pain.

🌪️ The Body as a Complex, Adaptive, and Transformable System

The human body is not a rigid machine — it is a complex system.
It constantly adapts to stimuli, stressors, and imbalances,
reorganizing itself in a nonlinear, multifactorial, and interdependent way.

📌 Every dysfunction creates a new configuration
When a force comes into conflict with the body's physiology
(e.g., muscular shortening, structural deformation, overload, emotional stress),
the system doesn't break — it reorganizes to compensate.

This adaptive reorganization leads to:

• A new joint geometry
• A different distribution of muscular tensions
• The appearance of distant symptoms, functional compromises, and chronic patterns

🔬 This model works precisely in this zone of instability
at the boundary between precarious balance and irreversible disorganization.
It’s the zone where the body is still capable of transformation,
but has already activated a spiral of compensations that must be:

• observed
• understood
• reorganized

📌 This is the true therapeutic zone
where clinical observation and biomechanical intervention can still restore the system.

👉 A biomechanical session begins right here:
It observes the adaptive reorganization and acts on the dominant vector
to guide the body toward a new functional equilibrium.


📦 How to Recognize the “Edge-of-Chaos” Therapeutic Zone
• The symptom cannot be explained by visible structural damage
• Pain changes location, shifts, or returns after local treatments
• There are asymmetries, stiffness, and compensations unrelated to the pain area
• The joint structure shows adaptive strategies at a distance
• The patient reports inconsistent responses to traditional therapies

📌 In these cases, the body has already activated a complex reorganization.
This is the ideal moment to intervene on the dominant muscular vector —
before the adaptation becomes chronic.

🔍 From Analysis to Treatment

The biomechanical session as a systemic intervention guided by dominant forces

Once the shortened muscular vector that disrupts joint balance is identified, treatment can begin.

This type of session does not follow a fixed protocol.
It is a clinical process that integrates observation, functional diagnosis, and biomechanical intervention —
based on systemic principles derived from the Mézières tradition.


📌 The session unfolds in three operational phases:

  1. Analysis of Adaptive Reorganization
    • Three-dimensional observation of the body
    • Identification of active compensations and areas under strain
    • Dynamic and morphological assessment

  2. Identification of the Dominant Vector
    • Recognition of shortened muscles influencing the skeletal structure
    • Evaluation of vector direction and its joint effects

  3. Isometric Treatment in Maximum Elongation
    • Active elongation of retracted muscular chains
    • Guided, slow, and sustained isometric contractions
    • Reprogramming of muscular forces to restore systemic balance


📌 Each phase is guided by biomechanical logic:
You don’t “correct” the form — you transform the forces that shape it.


📦 What Happens in This Session
• The body is observed globally — in both static and dynamic conditions
• The therapist searches for dysfunctional muscular vectors altering joint alignment
• A specific position is chosen to highlight the dominant retractions
• The patient performs guided isometric contractions in maximum physiological elongation
• Compensations are read, followed, and deactivated — not forcibly corrected
• The body is guided toward a new, more efficient configuration

🎯 This is a treatment that does not impose an external form —
it helps the body reorganize itself from within.

🔎 In Summary

A model for reasoning. A method for perceiving.

This approach does not teach you to correct a shape —
it teaches you to read dysfunction as the body’s own language.

Every muscular shortening is a vectorial force that reshapes geometry.
Every compensation tells a survival strategy of the system — often necessary, but no longer functional.

The body doesn’t lie.
It must be listened to, understood, and reorganized.


What This Model Offers You

• A new way to read the body as an interdependent system
• A clinical approach to identify shortened muscular vectors that disrupt skeletal balance
• A clear biomechanical formula:
Resistant Force – Working Force = Dysfunction
• The ability to act on the primary cause, not just the symptom
• Tools to integrate linear logic and nonlinear observation, even in complex cases


📌 In this online course, you’ll experience all of this through:
clinical reasoning, detailed observation, and hands-on demonstrations.
You’ll be guided to see differently — and think differently.

🎯 It’s a transformation in your clinical mindset.
And when you apply it in practice, your patients will feel the difference.

👨‍🏫 Course Faculty

👥 Two Clinical Perspectives, One Systemic Vision

This is not just a set of techniques —
it’s a new way of observing, reasoning, and treating dysfunction through systemic biomechanics.

This vision is brought to life by two highly experienced physiotherapists,
both trained directly with Françoise Mézières in Paris,
and deeply involved in advancing her insights into a structured clinical model through research, teaching, and real-world practice.

They don’t simply teach what Mézières observed —
they guide you through a transformation in how you interpret the body, compensation, and dysfunction.


🔹 Mauro Lastrico, PT
Director of Education – AIFiMM
Author of Musculoskeletal Biomechanics and the Mézières Method

Mauro is a physiotherapist, teacher, and author with over 35 years of clinical experience.
He trained directly with Françoise Mézières in the late 1980s and has since dedicated his career to systematizing her empirical insights through vectorial biomechanics, clinical reasoning, and the physics of complex systems.

He is the founder of AIFiMM and a leading figure in Mézières education in Europe.
He also taught for 10 years at the University of Pisa’s postgraduate program in Clinical Posturology.

His approach is rigorous, logical, and grounded in clinical practice —
helping therapists move beyond segmental thinking and understand dysfunctions as emergent systemic outcomes.

🗣️ “After graduation, I knew how to treat symptoms, but I didn’t know how to explain recurring dysfunctions. Mézières taught me to read the body as a vectorial system governed by physical laws. It changed everything.”


🔹 Laura Manni, PT
Senior Instructor – AIFiMM
Co-developer of AIFiMM’s systemic clinical training programs

Laura is a physiotherapist and educator with deep expertise in spinal disorders and systemic dysfunctions.
She studied Mézières therapy in France and later with Françoise Mézières herself.

Her teaching blends biomechanical logic with perceptual awareness, proprioceptive work, and neurovegetative regulation — core aspects of Mézières’ original vision, now embedded in a rational, evidence-aligned model.

Laura is known for her ability to make complexity accessible, helping students connect theoretical insight with clinical application.

🗣️ “Mézières didn’t give me protocols — she gave me a new way of seeing. I learned to observe adaptation strategies, interpret dominant forces, and treat not to correct, but to reorganize.”


📌 Both instructors will guide you step by step —
with direct feedback, real clinical cases, and systemic reasoning tools —
helping you develop your own therapeutic lens grounded in biomechanics, observation, and logic.

🛠 Clinical Applications: Complex Dysfunctions Require a Systemic Model

When the body loses its physiological organization,
it activates compensatory strategies that may preserve function —
but often become dysfunctional over time.

This course is based on a systemic biomechanical model
that interprets dysfunctions as the result of altered muscular vectors,
joint misalignments, and multi-level compensations.

It doesn’t target isolated symptoms —
it addresses the deeper mechanical logic that drives dysfunction across the system.

📌 When this model proves most effective
• When symptoms recur after localized treatment
• When pain migrates or appears in unexpected locations
• When rigidity, asymmetry, or visible adaptations are present
• When traditional approaches bring only partial or short-term results
• When the origin of dysfunction lies far from the area of pain

🎯 Main Areas of Application
Chronic spinal conditions
Low back pain, thoracic stiffness, cervical pain, disc disorders, segmental instability

Scoliosis and structural asymmetries
Tailored interventions based on spinal translation–rotation patterns

Lower limb dysfunctions
Groin pain, knee disorders, plantar fasciitis, persistent tendinopathies

Upper limb disorders
Shoulder dysfunctions, scapulohumeral imbalance, recurrent epicondylitis

Post-traumatic compensations
Functional impairments after trauma, fractures, or orthopedic surgery

Systemic overload conditions
Multiple dysfunctions due to chronic compensation or biomechanical stress

🔗 A method that integrates with your clinical practice
This approach doesn’t replace your existing tools —
it gives you a systemic lens and biomechanical framework
to enhance clinical reasoning and effectiveness, especially in complex cases.

📚 Articles and Scientific Sources

A method with historical roots and a solid rational foundation

The Mézières Method was founded in 1947 by Françoise Mézières,
who first observed that the muscular system behaves as a single, interdependent unit —
and that the true origin of dysfunctions lies in myofascial shortening, not in posture itself.

Over the decades, her insights have been expanded and systematized
into a comprehensive clinical model based on:

• Musculoskeletal biomechanics
• Vectorial physics
• Complex systems theory
• Functional clinical observation
