  "name": "Stecco Fascial Manipulation",
  "description": "Stecco Fascial Manipulation is a specific manual therapy method developed by Luigi Stecco, which focuses on identifying and treating specific points of fascial densification that are believed to cause pain and functional limitations. It employs deep friction techniques to restore the physiological balance of the fascial system, addressing both musculoskeletal and internal organ dysfunctions.",
