Background

Australia’s First and Only Certified Fascial Manipulation Teacher

Jack Williams is a physiotherapist and the founder of Fascial Manipulation Australia, established to bring the internationally recognised Stecco Method to Australian practitioners through structured, hands-on education.

His training in Fascial Manipulation began in 2019 and has continued since. He is Australia’s first and only certified Fascial Manipulation teacher, and today leads all Fascial Manipulation Levels 1–2 and Introductory Workshops delivered nationally through MAD Education.

Alongside his clinical and teaching work, Jack holds a genuine interest in the academic side of fascia science — connective tissue pathology and neuromuscular physiology — and stays closely engaged with the research driving the method he teaches.
