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.
Targeted treatment
With precise, manual techniques, tension is released where it arises – not just where it hurts.
Lasting release
Instead of treating only the area where the pain occurs, the entire fascial system is included, and underlying causes located far away are also addressed.
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 as a non-medical practitioner. Its focus is the interplay of muscles and fascia.
- A holistic assessment instead of viewing individual complaints in isolation.
- Manual techniques, manual techniques that effectively and lastingly release fascial adhesions
- 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 non-medical practitioner 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.
