FSM was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice that came with a machine made in the 1920s. Dr. McMakin developed protocols for the treatment of myofascial pain in 1996 and presented her clinical data at the American Back Society national meeting in December 1997. She published paper on the "Treatment of chronic resistant myofascial pain in the head neck and face." in 1998 in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic. Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997 to see if the effects of FSM were reproducible. By June of 1997 it was clear that the effects were reproducible and the seminars have become a three day 24 hours intensive in the use of frequency protocols, the differential diagnosis of pain generators and neurologic conditions.

The frequencies were developed in the early 1900's and used with funky looking electronic equipment that fell out of use in the 1940's. Microcurrent was introduced as a battery operated physical therapy modality in the 1980's in Europe and the US. Microcurrent devices deliver frequencies and current in millionths of an amp and have been shown in published studies to increase energy (ATP) production in cells by 500%.

Frequency protocol development began in 1995 and Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997. Since then hundreds of practitioners around the world have taken the FSM seminar and use this amazing new technique to help patients recover from myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, concussion and many other health concerns. The FSM seminar has evolved into a three day 24 hour seminar that teaches the frequency protocols, differential diagnosis of pain complaints and hands on use of the Microcurrent equipment. Our students evaluate the seminars consistently with 5/5 value approval ratings.

Protocols for treating neuropathic pain were developed by Dr. McMakin in 1998. She then developed a protocol for treating the full body pain from fibromyalgia caused by neck injuries in 1999. The paper is being published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement therapies in Jul of 2005. It documents unheard of changes in inflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides with the use of a specific frequency protocol and microcurrent application.

Dr. McMakin has spoken at fibromyalgia conferences and medical and alternative medicine meetings around the US, in England and Australia. She presented the cervical trauma fibromyalgia treatment data at the National Institutes of Health.

"FSM is a passion for me. Our practitioners are helping patients recover from conditions that cannot be treated using any other modality. Join us in changing health care and patients lives."
