The Method

Pain has a cause. We find it – together.

Pain often does not arise where it is felt. fmt understands muscles and fascia as one connected system and follows the trail of the pain back to its origin.

Tracing the causes

A thorough assessment reveals which structures in the myofascial system are really triggering the complaints.

Targeted treatment

With precise, manual techniques, tension is released where it arises – not just where it hurts.

Lasting relief

Instead of merely dampening symptoms, the balance of the musculoskeletal system is restored.

What sets fmt apart from conventional treatment

fmt is an independent form of therapy that Bettina Tamura developed over decades from her work in physiotherapy and naturopathy. Its focus is the interplay of muscles and fascia.

  • A holistic assessment instead of viewing individual complaints in isolation.
  • Manual techniques, tailored individually to you.
  • Over 40 years of experience in treating pain.
  • Documented in two specialist books (2010 and 2018).

About me

At your side for over 40 years

I have worked as a physiotherapist since 1981, before establishing my own practice as a naturopath (Heilpraktikerin) in Celle in 1999. From the very beginning, my focus has been on the treatment of pain – and over time this gave rise to my own method: functional muscle therapy by tamura®️.

I have published two books on this method. Since 2021 I have also worked as an IFS therapist, supporting people holistically – in body and mind.

Internal Family Systems

Holistic psychotherapy with the inner family

IFS (Internal Family Systems) views our inner world as a system of different “parts”. With an attitude of appreciation, we learn to understand these parts and bring them into a new balance – a gentle, profound form of psychotherapy.

Body and mind are closely connected. Where fmt works on the tissue, IFS works with the inner experience – the two complement each other naturally.
